Maggie Q Leads Prime Video’s Superb ‘Bosch’ Spinoff ‘Ballard’: TV Review
Based on the beloved book series, Maggie Q stars as Detective Renée Ballard, who leads the LAPD's newly formed Cold Case Division
As the only full-time staffer in the severely underfunded unit, Ballard must rely on her own experience, moxy and a motley crew of volunteers to weed through the countless long-forgotten, decades-old homicides. Banding together with Samira, and with a bit of help from several familiar faces from the “Bosch” Universe, Ballard and her squad doggedly begin pursuing leads in both cases, uncovering shocking evidence and perilous paths. As a result, “Ballard” offers viewers an honest look at corrupt policing and its effects, similar to HBO’s stellar miniseries “We Own This City.” Moreover, with Q and Taylor leading the charge as women of color, the series showcases what it means to be “other” in a homogeneous profession, one that tends to welcome only a specific type of person.
