Move over, Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver). The Boschuniverse welcomes a new LAPD detective in its official spinoff, Ballard. This time, it's Renée Ballard (Maggie Q) of the Cold Case Unit. The spin-off isn't the first time Ballard has made her mark in the Bosch universe, but it's certainly the first time a female protagonist is leading the investigation. Harry might've had his problems and lawsuits in the original Bosch series, but Ballard clearly has her own challenges — most of which come from being looked down on as a woman in the LAPD. It doesn't help that her division has the least stellar reputation compared to the elite Homicide Department. There might be a case to solve in the spin-off, but Ballard is a story about proving others wrong when the odds are stacked against you.
