There are elements of fragmentation in the Afghan coalition. Woody is getting bored and paranoid. The one less serious guy in the thing is found in a kelp bed by the ocean shore. He was a natural because he didn't kowtow to his command. Meanwhile, we come to realize more and more why it's hard to work with Bosch. He keeps secrets and hangs out his friends to dry at times, including his current romantic interest. For him, the case is ultimately everything. Things do start to settle in that certain adversarial types are starting to realize how complex this case is. String pullers are getting a bit over confident, rather than letting sleeping dogs lie. J. Edgar continues being loyal although it is with great trust and potential pain.

Military bufoonery

Warning: Spoilers
Great story mired with typical poor military consulting. Merch and d his supervisor are both wearing staff sergeant rank, yet twice each one of them is called specialist. I don't even know where to begin with Specialist SSG Stukes uniform...jeesh, simple stuff - poor placement of flag. AND, subdued flags are not authorized stateside.
Developing plot and characters well

Bosch is in the media for the wrong reasons again.
This is a decent episode that slow burns the plot and relationships between characters. There are no big revelations in the story but it lays the foundations well for what potentially might be coming.
Some scenes of characters personal and professional lives entwining is quite enjoyable and it's good to get to know them more outside the LAPD environment. I like how Bosch's dynamic with Maddie has changed with their closer association.
I think the baddies are fairly one-note characters so far, who feel generically evil, greedy and arrogant in a way that makes you dislike them. For me, more is needed to make them memorable or interesting beyond stock villains.
All performances are solid and the production values are great.
