Legendary 'Bosch' Creator Eric Overmyer Dead at 74

For a lot of TV viewers, Eric Overmyer’s name may not have been the one front and center, but his work was impossible to miss. He was a key figure behind many of television's most enduring crime dramas, bringing a sharp edge to stories about institutions, violence, and the people trying to survive both. In later years, that legacy became especially tied to one of the most beloved detectives on television. Overmyer, the writer-producer who developed Bosch for the screen and helped extend that world with Bosch: Legacy, died on March 16 after an illness, at the age of 74.
