Wall Street Journal
Golden Boy is packed with fine performances, but no amount of actorly talent could have done for this series what its intelligently twisty plots, its nuanced dialogue bearing a distinct resemblance to human exchange--even from the mouths of TV police detectives--has done.

USA Today
The scripts offer a well-balanced mix of office politics, underlying mystery and weekly cop procedural. And the first-rate cast ties it all together with abundant skill.

BRING THIS SHOW BACK! It was very entertaining and I looked forward to continuing to get to know the characters. I thought it had a nice mix of drama, along with personality. PLEASE bring it back! Chi McBride is GREAT!

In its best moments, the drama has the grit of something more likely to be found on cable channel TNT.

If yet one more cop show about the brash young rookie and the older, tired guy thisclose to retirement is enough to make you go completely insane and start watching, say, “Smash” or something equally upsetting, then for sure you want to stay away from Golden Boy. However, if you love cop shows that aren’t really procedurals so much as stories about the internal politicking of the NYPD, than maybe Golden Boy is just what you’re looking for.

Golden Boy’s half-bakedness--part totally competent TV show, part lazily executed one--permeates throughout.

It’s just another police procedural pretending to be something bigger, and I don’t feel all that compelled to stick around and watch this golden boy grow up.

Other than the unspooling of the ghost of policework past, Golden Boy is so formulaic as to be instantly forgettable.

Golden Boy is decent, just not enough to make me keep watching. I'm tired of the same old crime dramas. I want to see something different, something that redefines TV it self.

First episode promised intrigue. What followed, however, is a detective series like any other. Each cop has their own flat character, and each episode plays out exactly the same incoherent conflict while there's yet another dead body nobody could care less about (cast nor audience.) If people are still following this show, they must of missed every episode between the first and last episode. Anyway, they must be oblivious to the countless other detective series that follow the same format, but do a much better job. The only time the question of "whodunit?" ever came to rise, was when I wondered who's creative input killed this show.

My wife is in love with this show. I, on the other hand, just can't get into it. Why is it that almost every character in this show is the HARDEST, TOUGHEST COP in the City. Why is everyone corrupt? Why is Chi McBride doing his best Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon impression. I just can't get into it. It just bugs me too much. And the storylines just never seem to hook me in, and since I don't like any of the characters(except for Chi-and it's obvious he'll die, eventually), I can't care what happens to anyone...

Golden Boy is a Japanese anime series based around the comedic flavors of Great Teacher Onizuka. This is not the same Golden Boy. Disappointed.
