Review of Zzyzx

Bosch: Legacy: Zzyzx (2023)
Season 2, Episode 2
1/10
I will pretend these 2 last episodes never happened

Warning: Spoilers
One of the most ridiculous tropes in Cop/Crime Series: the moment a police officer is kidnapped by a deranged serial killer/rapists.

This "scenario" is the worst of cliches and shows how desperate or lazy (or both) the writers of a show have become.

There is not a single original thing in this episode that we haven't watched again and again and again.

-The main hero in destress trying to find his beloved one? Check!

-The omnipotent villain that is always a step ahead? Check!

-Running against time cause the victim will die soon? Check!

-Having a camera showing the victim? Check!

-Desert scenery? Check!

-Having the victim buried alive? Check!

-Finding the victim the very last moment? Check!

And I guess a lot of PTSD will follow for poor Maddie, who let's recall, a few years earlier had to experience the tragic loss of her mom.

This was awful in any degree. Hopefully the season will get better.
