From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

Welcome to The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. You know, if you go way back to Brooklyn South,

you recognize my guest, Titus Weller, is having the best hair on television.

He's brought it to this new show he's doing with now in its fourth season on Amazon,

the adaptation that Michael Connolly books, Bosch. It's a thrill I have here, Titus.

Thanks so much for doing this.

It's a thrill to be here. Thank you so much for having me. Oh, threshold for thrills, but we'll get past all that. And what's been really interesting about seeing these books brought to the big screen,

we're just talking about this a little bit,

is about how Harry is a part of Los Angeles.

I mean, it's not just Bosch, but it's L.A. as much as anything else.

And each season takes us into a specific part of the city,

and we get to know the kind of the politics of that part of the city, the rules that the cops have to abide in that part of the city,

which are different in every different part of the city, aren't they?

Exactly, yeah.

Well, and it's not a backdrop.

I mean, you know, people always say, oh, it's, you know,

the city is really a, is a front and center character just like Harry Bosch's. I mean, they sort of dance together, which is sort of, and he's, you know,

unlike so many people, he's, he's a native son. He's a, he's a true Angelino. And really

tied to the history of this city in a very awful way. Yes. And, you know, with all the blemishes.

And so that's sort of the beauty of, of this story is that with you know Hollywood and L.A. being kind of, you know,

the city of dreams unrealized that the facade and all the glitz and glamour that's so

attractive and draws so many people here that Harry works the dark part of that.
