WOW, I thought Id give this a chance, because I liked Jimmy Smits, and Hector Elizondo, and it was riveting, so many twists and turns in the sugar cane business, and so Cuban, I was wondering where Gloria Estefan was :D really well acted and directed and so many different scenerios, Smits was very slick ansd smooth in his portrayal, as the favorite son..some sinister and shaky/snaky things coming down! so many new shows, but this look's like it might be a winner!
 
Great Pilot. I thought it had a good plot and the acting was very well done.

Also, great news!

I'm hooked ;)once again CBS has a winner!
 
Last night was really good. Yeah I am definitely hooked now on the show. Very intense and great cast to pull it all off.

Another great ep last night. Now we know why Pop put Alex in charge & is being up front with his family.
Click to expand...

Exactly.. riveting, so fast paced. and Alex, the 'adopted' favorite son, and his brother is so envious, and jealous.. and the girlfriend, doesn't she look a bit like Melinda Clarke {Lady Heather]? I thought it was her in the beginning!
and when they had the flashbacks of that guy feeding the nasty snitch to the alligator EWWWWWWWWW :eek: earth shattering and so stomach churning, I like the interaction with Rita Moreno and Hector Elizondo, and all the diffferent twists, the one son now wanting to open a nite club with serious drug kingpins.. and the other bro. wanting to marry a girl that's not Cuban, & his mom not happy about that... and sinister stories, it's hard to keep up with all the goings on! but so good ;)
 
RECAPPING CANE

As the series opened, Pancho Duque, patriach of a Cuban-American family with a lucrative run-and-sugar cane business in Florida, learned that he had only months to live. determined to put his affairs in order, Pancho announced that his adopted son Alex would become the CEO of the family business, a decision that angered his natural son Frank, and deepened Frank's animosity towards Alex. Frank had promised his lover, the daughter of the family's oldest enemy Joe Samuels, that he would persuade Pancho to sell their sugar fields to her father. Alex, aware that Samuels had one of Pancho's daughters murdered years ago, stepped in and quashed the deal. And when Alex learned the child's assassin had returned to Florida and was now stalking Alex's son, he arranged the killer's murder. Later, Alex officially took over the Duque Rum and proposed the family build an ethanol refinery!

My hubby and I are addicted to this show. It is like Dallas in Florida for the new age. I think Jimmy Smits is hot! This is probably my favorite new show of the season.
 
ANother great ep. so many things going on, so hard to keep up with, beings I'm not that familiar with all the characters as of yet. but I do know that Hector and Rita, are so cute together, and now his cancer has returned, and the dinner table confrontation becuse of wanting to go with the hi-tech machinery and let the cane workers go, and the split in the family with this, and the nightclub son, 'prince' his uncle called him..and the arguing between Alex and his wife, and the Det. asking for his gun, on that murder, and all the others happenings :eek: mind boggling.. keeps ones interest!
 
I must echo everything that ya'll have said. This show is fabulous. I tuned in because of Jimmy Smits, Rita Moreno and Hector Elizondo, but the entire cast just impressed me to no end.
 
Wow it seems that things are getting hotter & hotter on this show. Wonder when Franks gonna find out his sweetys daddy killed his sister? Hmmm that ought to cause a stir don't ya think? lol
 
You know, I think Alex has wanted to tell him the truth about the little girl's death since he figured it all out. However, he promised Pancho they'd keep it between them.

I think Frank would be a little more inclined to align with Alex if he knew all the facts.
