South Beach

Just because each episode doesn't have a happy ending doesn't mean it's bad. It shows the reality of what the rich and fabulous live up to. In a lot of shows all the airs are just unrealistic things, whereas in "South Beach," the actors portray their characters greatly and make it seem very real. The story line for every week pulls the audience into the TV, and the people can't get out of it. There are also a lot of attractive characters. The part about the three characters being from Brooklyn and being successful is sometimes a little unrealistic, but for the rest of the show, it is the rich and fabulous facing some interesting things. This show rocks !

The pilot episode almost made me not want to watch the second episode but the cast (Vincent and Matt) are good looking so I figured why not give it a chance. There is a lot of half naked girls though, I think if they want to target girls and guys they need to tone down the amount of models they have on and focus on just a few instead. Tonight's episode was good so I'm thinking it's going to get better with every episode. The story line seems to need a chance to build up and I think that will come with a few more episodes. I'm hooked enough to watch next week. It is kind of like an evening soap opera, with a twist. I think they did a good job casting and I hope they add a few more steady characters to add some spice to it. I'll keep watching and see where it goes, beats watching reality TV!

All I can say is that the writing is atrocious, the main actors are TERRIBLE - especially Marcus Coloma - I am insulted that he was cast in a lead role for a TV series - he should NOT be acting. The guy who plays "Alex" is pretty bad also. The way the production represents South Beach is cheesy, stereotyped, watered down crap. The sound design is also crap, as well as the directing. Its like watching a bunch of kids in an acting class and a film school throwing together a bad soap opera.

The only redeeming qualities about the show is that the music is O.K. and the actress who plays "Ariel" - Odette Yustman - is not only GORGEOUS and STUNNING, but also a decent actress (and it also helps her stand out that she's acting with possibly the WORST cast ever assembled for television).

Anyway, that's my two cents - Don't watch the show - its CRAP!!!

This show is so awful, it makes the other south beach show look good, the acting is terrible, the storyline is completely confused, the writing is bad and I Was wondering how the catering truck is horrible with this project. I Don't Hate all Shows based on Miami, Miami Vice & CSI: Miami had beautiful style, flashy looks and beautiful image, this one has none of that, just boring dialogue, idiotic looks and pathetic production. Thankfully you won't see don Johnson & Phillip Michael Thomas appear on this thing, this is a failure and it will be a failure for decades to come, this is An Early candidate on my list of the worst TV shows of 2006.

Want an TV Show set in Miami, go rent Miami Vice on DVD.

This is exactly what UPN needed to breath life into its lineup. Very creative work. With strong marketing, and a decent time slot, this show would quickly establish itself. My DVR is on record! The cast seem well suited for the roles they portray, not sure why guys from Brooklyn didn't have the right accent, but about midway through the first show that didn't matter. I think first shows are always tough, introducing new characters, plots and generating interest. Although I was initially unsure, I became more interested as the plot unraveled. I like the work of Philip Levens on Superman, he has done a masterful job in his previous works as a writer. I am sure he will be a break through producer and writer.., exactly what UPN needs to get market share. Let's see where the show takes us!
