Golden Boy Premiered on CBS on February 26, 2013



GOLDEN BOY is a drama about the meteoric rise of an ambitious cop who becomes the youngest police commissioner in the history of New York City, and the high personal and professional cost he pays to achieve it. As he's interviewed for a story about his career, Walter William Clark, Jr. looks back on his hard-fought journey from street kid to the most powerful man in law enforcement. After only three years as a beat cop, Clark's heroics on the job make him bold enough to ask for and receive the unheard-of promotion to homicide detective, angering the members of his new department who are eager to see him fail. Clark is partnered with and mentored by experienced veteran Detective Don Owen, just two years shy of retirement. He would rather team with First Grade Detective Christian Arroyo, the alpha dog in the squad who's just as ambitious as Clark, but without a moral center. Arroyo's partner is Detective Deborah McKenzie, a tough third-generation cop and the only female detective in the unit. Also on the team is Detective Joe Diaco, well-connected with tremendous resources which Clark might find useful. Though laser-focused on moving up the ladder, Clark's soft spot is serving as the sole caregiver and supporter of his sister, Agnes, a teenager demonstrating increasingly dangerous behavior. Keenly observant and politically savvy, the Golden Boy bases his career decisions solely on his need to succeed as quickly as possible, and he'll find that his epic journey will be filled with consequences.

Why do i think this show will canned quite quickly

Walter being arrogant enough to ask for the unheard-of promotion to homicide detective was interesting and the way he took out the gunmen was great considering one of them had a hostage, the target shooting looked and sounded like only two shots but three holes was impressive

Well he was lucky but look like there more to come but let see how long this last .

He's an arrogant, cocky, jack!  I was glad when his partner reemed him for his B&E.   

I don't know how long this will last.  I want Vegas back.

I had a feeling the petty thief was a girl but using the body she found to avoid being arrested was a surprise and I can believe Christian was able to get away with slapping her across the face
Author: bala    Time: 3-7-2013 07:11     Subject: Reply 10#10 codebreaker's post

Well what's more disturbing was Christian using her make him give the money is sad because he was trying help her out finding what happened to her was sad.

Well wasn't expect another episode this week but with him holding that tape he really didn't know who he can trust but realise the only person he can trust in his partner .
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-10-2013 07:22     Subject: 1x03 Young Guns

Christian threatening to go public with the tape exposing Walter giving the informant confiscated money was so predictable as he is a nasty piece of work

Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-14-2013 07:24     Subject: 1x04 Role Models

Walter threatening to expose Christian and Deb relationship was great as Christian was threatening him last week with the tape
Author: bala    Time: 3-14-2013 07:35     Subject: Reply 15#15 codebreaker's post

Yes but you can see he temped to the dark side during this episode .

Author: bala    Time: 3-27-2013 12:13     Subject: Just Say No

Wow he really learned to go into the grey area offering drug to get the guy to confess

Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-31-2013 06:47     Subject: 1x05 Vicious Cycle

The way Owen took the lead on the murder investigation was interesting as it involved the brother of his former informant who was killed a few years before and I supposed I can understand why Clark was struggling with whether or not to let his recently sober mother back in his life
Author: codebreaker    Time: 3-31-2013 07:15     Subject: 1x06 Just Say No

Clark’s mother asks for help with a loan shark who is harassing her was a bad start to their new relationship and what an amusing response to why he ran "because you was chasing me" and Christian's wife wanting shooting lessons Deb could be fatal for someone
Author: bala    Time: 4-3-2013 07:19     Subject: McKenzie on Fire

Well good episode but what closure Mckenzie got and loved the trick they used to get the confession

Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-11-2013 01:56     Subject: 1x07 McKenzie on Fire

McKenzie coming across a bullet match the same gun that killed her brother was a chance in a million but being able to get justice for her family was a great result
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-11-2013 03:24     Subject: 1x08 Scapegoat

Walter and Don were lucky they stopped the thief getting the incriminating letter but Don getting hit with a piece of wood looked painful and Christian playing dirty in the hope of getting the collar disgusting
Author: bala    Time: 4-11-2013 04:11     Subject: Reply 27#27 codebreaker's post

Well at least Don get a mention in newspaper which was at least something.
Author: bala    Time: 4-17-2013 09:35     Subject: Atonement

Well finding suspect who he helped in one earlier episode and her getting killed was a sad consequence but at least she got the confession
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-17-2013 13:27


Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-19-2013 11:50     Subject: 1x09 Atonement

Natasha was starting to look guilty with all the evidence stacked against her and running away just made it worse but recording her own shooting was a lucky break for the cops and she was also lucky to survive
Author: bala    Time: 4-19-2013 12:02     Subject: Reply 31#31 codebreaker's post

She didn't survive she got shot in the truck ?
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-19-2013 12:09     Subject: Reply 32#32 bala's post

Did you stop watching from then when she was take to hospital and woke up after surgery plus when the girl asked how she was he said she will be OK
Author: bala    Time: 4-19-2013 12:16     Subject: Reply 33#33 codebreaker's post

No the last thing i remember was them interrogating the guy and playing the recorder.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-19-2013 12:18     Subject: Reply 34#34 bala's post

I'm surprised you didn't see her after the surgery
Author: bala    Time: 4-19-2013 12:20     Subject: Reply 35#35 codebreaker's post

Well i am glad she survived i just think my brain automatically fill in gaps it made assumption that a head shot was fatal.
Author: bala    Time: 4-24-2013 08:28     Subject: Sacrifice

Well that's one hell of a save Walter did taking down the gun man but other one being scared was interesting  .
Author: codebreaker    Time: 4-25-2013 08:04     Subject: 1x10 Sacrifice

Walter taking down the gunman in the station was great but Christian's reaction after having his life saved was disgusting and having to apologise must of hurt
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-1-2013 12:37     Subject: 1x11 Longshot

Martin running did make him look guilty of the basketball players murder but Vince running made sense as he was involved in an armed robbery and McKenzie threatening to end her partnership with Arroyo was predictable
Author: bala    Time: 5-2-2013 10:03     Subject: Reply 39#39 codebreaker's post

Look like his mother has already contact Walter father i wonder what con they are planning ?
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-8-2013 10:46     Subject: 1x12 Beast of Burden

Holbrook being the high-end call girl last client before she was found dead was interesting as he was Clark's arch-enemy but blackmailing Clark for something his father did was a surprise
Author: bala    Time: 5-9-2013 08:47     Subject: Reply 41#41 codebreaker's post

Now he has done a disappearing act and has framed Clark quite well
Author: arksongbird80    Time: 5-11-2013 08:25

Cancelled.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-15-2013 04:35     Subject: 1x13 Next Question

Owen's cold case being compromised by the events of 9/11 was interesting and closing it in the final episode was nice but Clark knocking Arroyo out and handcuffing him was amusing as it allowed Owen to get his long-deserved promotion but being cancelled with an ending like that was disappointing
Author: bala    Time: 5-15-2013 06:18     Subject: Reply 44#44 codebreaker's post

Yes this is why we should try hold off watching shows until we know whether they are getting renewed

It explain his injuries in the future
Author: codebreaker    Time: 5-15-2013 06:20     Subject: Reply 45#45 bala's post

I you hold off watching everything that gets cancelled you would be done by lunch time
Author: bala    Time: 5-15-2013 06:32     Subject: Reply 46#46 codebreaker's post

Well you right i have nothing to watch now .

Every year i try to cut down and every year i fail but fall preview there really isn't many show that i like.
Author: Milks26    Time: 5-11-2014 06:15

Overall, I hated this show. Just no plausible (which is why it got cancelled) in my opinion. Got a '1'....and it deserved it to.
