‘Ballard’ (Season 1)

Stream on July 9

A spin-off of Prime Video’s original series Bosch, Ballard follows LAPD Detective Renee Ballard (Maggie Q) as she runs a new cold case division with limited resources. Having recently been relegated to the basement, Ballard throws herself into her new role despite its obvious obstacles. As the series progresses, she and her band of misfits draw various connections between numerous cold cases, possibly leading them to a potential serial killer. In the face of it all, they encounter a corrupt LAPD, which they attempt to confront and dismantle from the inside. While the series certainly takes place within the Bosch universe, fans of the original show shouldn’t expect too much face time with their beloved Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver). He’ll definitely make an appearance here and there, but Ballard isn’t necessarily meant to be an extension of its predecessor. Rather, it aims to be a standalone series anyone can enjoy. Ballard Season 1 is set to stream on July 9.

I Was Convinced Jensen Ackles’ New Crime Drama Might Be the Next ‘Reacher.’ I Couldn’t Be More Wrong

‘Countdown’ is Prime Video’s latest crime drama, and while it’s a decent enough show, it’s not poised to be the next big hit.

Unfortunately, what should have been relief for the community and the victims’ families only prompted more questions about why such a terrible crime targeted these four kids. Arguably one of the most high-profile stories in recent years, the Idaho murders captured the country’s attention and sparked their imagination and paranoia in a way that hasn’t been seen in a long time. One Night in Idaho: The College Murders is streaming on July 11.

As they grow up, first loves fade, and Belly finds the person she believes is her last love, Conrad’s brother, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). As the series enters its third season, the pair decide they want to get married. Unfortunately, their mothers feel they’re far too young, and Conrad is beginning to realize he might still love Belly.
