Did Harry do the right thing by Edgar in the end? Would you have forgiven him?

I think so. Edgar will still have to deal with Chandler when she comes back later and threatens to expose him as his source, so this isn’t done, I probably would have forgiven him but would definitely be more wary of sharing info with his from now on

Absolutely. Harry was angry and disappointed with Edgar and lashed out as a result of those two emotions but when he cooled down he remembered their history together. They have spent too many years watching out for one another and that overrode the anger. A good thing you did there,Harry.

I think he did the right thing but I can't blame him for being angry and betrayed.

I think he did the right thing. I know it has to be hard. Personally I don't think I could trust my partner again, but if Edgar was only telling minimal information that was already known, I could let that go.

Yes. I knew Bosch would feel better about things when he'd had time to calm down.
In Bosch's shoes, I hope I'd have been able to forgive Edgar, he didn't exactly hang him out to dry.

Harry probably did the right thing but I don't know if I would trust Edgar again.

I agree with Eadie.
