Very well executed

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Excellent series. I just saw it (2017) here in France. What a pity it was canceled, I really don't know why!Any reason? I thought that the stories were great and so was the cast.It was so realistic contrary to many police series...I was so sorry it was canceled.

Really great acting and writing as it will take a miracle for CBS the network that airs it to renew it. Despite it being a spring entry as rarely unless you are a "Grey's Anatomy", to take so much to really make it as a long running show.Theo James is Walter Clark Jr who is the son of a criminal family. The only son that has gone legit. As he will seven years in the future will become the youngest ever NYPD Commissioner.As a rookie cop, he saves his partner and shoots two thugs. And gets to in three years from being a rookie to being a homicide detective. Much less to the chargin of his new co-workers who have taken up to ten years to get to being just a detective.As one colleague Christian Arryo a senior detective played by Kevin Alejando. Who resents him as he used to be a top cop in the squad until Clark's arrival and will do anything and everything to get rid of Clark as he is competition.Also he has to deal with the old guard played by veteran TV actor Chi McBride who both have a grudging yet respectful partnership. As the old guard gives him advice and is kind of like a gruff father figure to the young Clark.Really a great show that needs a chance. As hope that it will give the team a chance.

This has got to be the worst cop show ever made for TV. It ranks up there with that psychotic doctor show that was taken off the air after two shows a month ago. Come on now NYC police commissioner in his mid 30's, what has this writer been smoking or is this going to be like St. Elsewhere. The arrogant little turd would probably get a blanket party his first week until he learned his place in the food chain. Immediately going behind his partners back, telling a high ranking boss that he wanted homicide and nothing else or he was going to throw a hissy fit, cry and tattle to the police commish, just for doing his job and probably something a lot of cops do. Let's make them all police commissioners. the druggy sister. GIVE ME A BREAK and he has one of those faces you just want to punch. I would give it a half star or less if that was possible.

Ever since the original Law and Order was taken off the air, I've been looking for a new crime drama to entertain me. With Golden Boy, it appears to have finally come! In the Pilot episode the characters are developing quickly and their stories are coming together right out of the gate (top notch writing.) The flashes forward are a nice touch and the final scene of the pilot has me hooked. The hint of Walter Clark's past are very intriguing, and the fact that he is a "Jr." has me wanting for more. In a market flooded with crime drama's, it appears Golden Boy has a found it's niche.
