Actor Titus Welliver, best known for headlining Prime Video's detective series Bosch, is returning this week with a new crime drama that could extend his streaming-era stardom into a second decade. The article frames the launch as a notable moment for Welliver, whose Bosch franchise — including the spin-off Ballard and the sequel Bosch: Legacy — has been a mainstay since 2014, and whose television success has also brought film and guest roles in projects such as Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Mandalorian and Titans.

The new series is set in 1980s New York and follows two childhood friends whose lives diverge, with one becoming a police officer and the other a gangster — a premise likened to a blend of The Departed and The Sopranos. Alongside Welliver, the cast features Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons and Tom Brittney, recently touted as a frontrunner to play James Bond. Early reactions have been positive, with the show holding an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and Collider's own reviewer singling out Welliver as its stand-out.
