I tried to watch this show. I thought that it might actually have potential especially with Chi McBride in it. However, from the very beginning it was difficult for me to grasp that a rookie would get his choice of assignments that quick. Yet I tried again the next week, but I kept getting disappointed. I think what was the biggest let down was the "rivalry" between Detective Christian Arroyo and Detective Walter Clark, it just felt strained and wearied. It felt like two still in the closet gays (no disrespect intended) strutting around each other vying for each others' attention. I am not sure exactly which episode lost me - I think maybe # 6 maybe - I tried watching hoping it would simply get better. However there was no way that Chi McBride's character could carry the entire show.. though he tried. To tell the truth, this show lost me for Grimm. It felt more believable than Golden boy.
