Discuss this episode here.

Episode: 102
Title: Golden Boy

[Doya G.]

I have watched it last night!

I can't make up my mind about this show. one thing i can say is that i might watch the second episode and decide. its too early do decide if this show is crap or not.

I am not sure i like this whole "the one" thing. its kind of corny.
I like the dude, he's soo cool and got the whole "brood" going for him. the thing i love about this show is the lil bits of information he keeps giving. its good to know everything.

but still...

i dont know!

[{~}:Wendy:{~}]

^^ let's all keep watching and see where it goes! I can't wait for him to actually meet the Dr. I want to see if they have good chemistry.

And what do you know!!! Tonight's episode aired yesterday in Canada, so it's already available for download!! I'm gonna watching it tonight too!!!! yay!!

I do like the main actor, like Doya said. He's got that brood, and a coolness to him too. He's Danish, and I think he still lives there with his family when he's not filming. There are a ton of actors right now on prime time faking American accents...Dominic, Hugh Laurie, Lena Headey from Sarah Connor, and now him.

*SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS EPISODE*

This show is very Law-and-Order-y, I mean it's pretty focused on the crime. But I do like how they explore John's life with flashbacks. There's a lot about him that we can find out like this. Omar is his son, I was shocked to learn that. I kept waiting for Dr. Sarah (I like her name ) to show up but she wasn't on this episode He knows her name and where she works now though so hopefully they'll meet on Monday's episode!!!

well?

[genpop40]

I don't know. I'm going to keep watching to see if it grows on me. It's a good show...in the sense that it's well made and different, but I'm not really a cop drama sort of girl. And it seems to be mostly a cop drama. We'll see. I'll watch a few more before I decide. Right now, though, it's not doing it for me. And with so many quality shows on, there's a lot to choose from, so I can be picky.

I know what you mean, I want to wait for the romance to start, I think that can draw me in a bit more

Also, I've been reading some spoilers and stuff and I see that they plan to explore a lot of things about John's past. Like his alcohol addition and stuff like that, so there's a lot of potential for character development, I think we should keep watching.

Look at this trailer, it looks really cool.

[genpop40]

Well, I'm not giving up yet. Very few shows grab me right away, so this is no surprise. They probably want to hook in an audience with the tried and true cop thing first, then branch out more. It's safer that way, because most people are not like me, and love that procedural cop/medical/law thing.

I just watched this!! And I was totally shocked to learn that Omar was his son, I thought that was pretty cool! Also, was his secretary his daughter or something? Coz i totally thought that!! And I'll carry on watching, because it's not boring and quite entertaining!!

ok i am watching the show.

i think its a very sad show. i really do.

Imagine him living all those years, getting married, having kids, and everyone around him gets old or die. that's just sad. soo sad.
i know that i'm dead scared of getting old but now watching this show changes my perspective of life. its sad. i want to die before i see all those i love die.

i can't wait for next week. i really want to know more about him.

I don't know, but didn't she mention that he dated her mother? So it's possible. With 366 years of life, he must have had a lot of kids.

it is sad, and he has to give up a lot. See how he had to give up being in his granddaughter's life. And who knows what other things he's had to give up. It's awful!! I really like the whole flashbacks thing, I'm very excited of all the things we'll continue to find out about John Amsterdam!!!
