"Golden Boy" premieres tonight at 10:00pm on CBS. The new series stars Theo James as Walter Clark Jr., who experiences a meteoric rise from police officer to police commissioner over a period of seven years. The series is told in flashbacks and focuses on the methods employed by Walter to move up the ranks. After being promoted to detective, Walter is paired with Don Owen (Chi McBride), who is ready to retire in a couple of years and usually plays by the rules. However, Walter may be more inclined to behave like another detective, Tony Arroyo (Kevin Alejandro), who straddles the line between right and wrong. What path Walter ultimately takes will be examined throughout the series.
The pilot episode starts off fast and furious and is loaded with back story. I hope that things settle down a bit in subsequent episodes, so viewers have an opportunity to learn more about the various characters and establish a connection with them. "Golden Boy" features a talented cast and has potential, but it will need to establish a rhythm, instead of trying to do too much too soon.
"Golden Boy" will air again next Tuesday, March 5, at 10:00pm, before moving into its regular time period on Fridays at 9:00pm, beginning March 8. For additional information, go here.
