Based on the beloved novels by Michael Connelly and adapted for television by Kendall Sherwood and Michael Alaimo, Prime Video’s “Ballard” — a spinoff of “Bosch” and “Bosch: Legacy” — is one of the best police procedurals on TV.

For Bosch fans who let their Prime Video subscription lapse with the conclusion of Bosch: Legacy, it's time for a renewal. This is especially true since it is not a sure thing that Ballard will be available on the free, ad-supported Amazon Freevee (as Bosch and Bosch: Legacy were for years ).
