this use to come on late at night in the uk id never really watch it or give it a chance than decided to watch it onlne one day out of curiosity to see what the big deal was i actually thought i was going to be disappointed but it actually turned out to be pretty amazing wasn't cheesy or stereotypical like i was expecting was actually interesting to watch reminded me a little bit of Dallas,dynasty and the godfather only thing that annoyed me is that like with all the other programs i like it got canceled after 1 series and i cant see why i cant even see a bad review so whats the networks explanation for canceling a clearly good program
... View MoreI think the fade out scene in episode #10 ("Time Away") with Alex Vega (Jimmy Smits) gazing into the Gulf wondering just how he got himself into his present situation, accompanied by the pulsating sound of "Outside" by Staind, is the single most captivating and meaningful scene that I have seen in television in recent years. CBS just has to stand by this show and accept the fact that it is simply too good to ever command a high ratings audience. In fact, CBS president Les Moonves ought to take Cane's less than stellar ratings as a compliment. This show is terrific.Mark
... View MoreI watched all of Cane last night. Decent show, as for if I'm hooked - time will tell. Cane is kind of like what I expected: a Dallas like TV show... Cubans instead of Texians, Florida instead of Texas and Sugar instead of Oil. I kind of chuckled at some of the "Spanish speaking" moments - maybe I can learn Spanish watching this show lol. I think this show can appeal to a lot people regardless of background (white, black, Hispanic), hence you don't have to be Hispanic to enjoy this show. I think it does a good honor to the Hispanic culture and hard working freedom loving Cubans who live here in the United States after a long struggle to gain entry into this nation. (yes they join and serve in the US military too.) But back to my "Dallas" reference. This show is almost a mirror image of "Dallas," just things are different as I had mentioned. There's characters that fit each character in Dallas and there's a big mansion set in the tropics where everyone lives not out in the middle of dusty Texas. There's the old father who likes to ride horse back through the sugar fields as did Jock on the Southfork Ranch. Again, if you look close enough, you'll see these similarities :-) So thumbs up on Cane, but time will tell if I get hooked. I score a 9 out of 10, only because I'm not sure I'm hooked into watching every week just yet.
... View MoreWatched the anticipated show and I thought it was wonderful. I think I am already hooked and I can't wait for next week's episode. Great job CBS, great show, great choice, excellent decision to put together this kind of show and run it. The colors are a little like those of CSI Miami very bright and colorful. Wonderful cast as well. It also reminds me a little of a movie called "A Walk in the Clouds" whose setting is in the Napa Valley of California. Another reminder is of the show Dynasty but with beautiful writing, heart and soul. I hope the same goes for this promising show called CANE.Generally I do not watch network TV but there are now two shows that will bring me back to watching network TV. One of them is House and now CANE. Awesome show, just loved it.I am truly rooting for the show to be a success, we need more entertainment like this on network TV instead of the typical "moron" shows. Great Job!
