Bionic Buzz® covered the red carpet of the Los Angeles premiere of Prime Video Series “Ballard” at The Culver Theater in Culver City, California. Ballard continues to bring Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels to life, following Detective Renée Ballard (Q) as she leads the LAPD’s new and underfunded cold case division, tackling the city’s most challenging long-forgotten crimes with empathy and relentless determination. As she peels back layers of crimes spanning decades, including a serial killer’s string of murders and a murdered John Doe, she soon uncovers a dangerous conspiracy within the LAPD. With the help of her volunteer team and retired detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), Detective Ballard navigates personal trauma, professional challenges, and life-threatening dangers to expose the truth.
On the red carpet, we interviewed Maggie Q (‘Renée Ballard’ in Ballard), Victoria Moroles (‘Martina Castro’ in Ballard), Courtney Taylor (‘Samira Parker’ in Ballard), Alain Uy (‘Nelson Hastings’ in Ballard), Amy Hill (‘Tutu’ in Ballard) and Martyn Ford (‘Goliath’ in Amazon Prime’s House of David and Shao Kahn in the upcoming Mortal Kombat II).
