Bosch: Start of Watch will take viewers back to 1991 Los Angeles, “following 26-year-old Harry Bosch during his earliest days as a rookie cop. The series will explore a city on the edge, teeming with racial tension, gang violence, and a fractured LAPD. Amid routine calls and growing unrest, Bosch finds himself drawn into a high-profile heist and a web of criminal corruption that will test his loyalty to the badge and shape his future as the detective who lives by the code, ‘Everybody counts or nobody counts.’"

Connelly’s series of Bosch books does not include prequel stories, so the series will be crafted from original material. That said, the novels do include tidbits of Bosch’s childhood, military service and the like from which to draw.
The younger Bosch is described as “a stoic, unyielding young man, intensely observant. Harry is now a probationary patrol officer with the LAPD, young Harry possesses all the qualities that will come to mark his legendary career: he's smart, relentless, determined, fiercely protective of the victims of crime.”

While the new character of Bridges is “a Vietnam vet, a seasoned, salty, rough-around-the-edges kind of cop who mentors Harry through the mean streets of Los Angeles and the complicated world of the LAPD. Bridges is fighting a war on the streets and looking for soldiers, and they don't come any brighter than Hieronymus Bosch.”
