    I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

    n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

    It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

    This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

    Theo James is a hot shot young detective destined to be police commissioner in 7 years. In fact, the show flashforwards to show him as commissioner. As a lead, he's too angry and too unlikeable. He doesn't have enough charm or charisma to root for. Kevin Alejandro is a competing detective out to get the young upstarter. Their competition is at the center of this show. Bonnie Somerville plays the Kevin Alejandro's partner detective. Chi McBride is the old wise detective tasked to partner up with the rookie. Chi is probably playing the only likable character.There is just too many flawed concepts in this. It's dark tones just drag it down as a traditional police procedural. The 7 years jump ahead is a clunky gimmick. Everything is tied down and restricted. It's a gimmick that adds nothing good to the storytelling.

    I don't know why this is not on Prime Time on Demand. I love the show and can't wait to watch it every Tuesday. I want to share my new find with my husband but as stated it is not on Prime Time so I can not share the back episodes. I love the Golden Boys relationship with his partner. They both are learning form each other and I know something sad and bad is going to happen to his partner. I can't stand the other cop and will be glad to see Golden Boy get the top job. I also enjoy the relationship he has with his sister. I DVR this show and watch it on Wednesday nights. I have also shared the new series with friends. So far it looks like it isn't doing well, it keeps me on my toes.

    Very hollow series so far. Much the same as so many of the cop shows on TV today, especially on CBS. Very disappointing for a show that is regarded as the replacement for "Vegas", which for me was one of the few shows worth watching on network TV this year. It would appear that CBS is trying to attract the female audience with another pretty boy Theo James ala Simon Baker (The Mentalist). Too bad the material isn't as good. And then there's Chi McBride...they could have used their Sport's columnist Jason Whitlock. Just as witty. It's time for CBS to go back to their drawing board and come up with something new and DIFFERENT. Take a cue from Fox with their excellent "The Following"! Shows such as CSI (Vegas) & CSI NY have run their course. CSI was really good with William Petersen, but has really fallen since. I love Gary Sinise, but again the writers tend to develop most the of the story lines around the glitz & glamor of their particular city...not the average Joe, blue collar person. NCIS & its spin off are also wearing extremely thin with very predictable scripts. Criminal Minds is good but appears to becoming too formulaic. Person Of Interest and Blue Bloods are really the only other dramas of excellence left on CBS. As for comedy, there is no show even close to the Big Bang Theory on any network!CBS needs to look elsewhere than "Golden Boy" for a suitable program to follow their NCIS shows on Tuesdays, although in coming years the whole prime time Tuesday slot may need revamping.

    Finally something different other than a bunch of cops that are all best friends, busting criminals together, day after day....(hello Law and Order). There's conflicts between them, competitiveness between them, diverse characters, love hate relationships etc... I'm glad that there's a sister for the main character. There's a story besides catching bad guys. Something different is always welcome! I caught the 2nd episode (didn't hear about the show before that)and thought it was GREAT! I'm watching the pilot online to catch up on it. Great eye-candy too!! Never hurts does it ladies?? I'm so sick of my favorite shows getting canceled so I hope it stays a regular on the network!
