Promised Land

Seriously as my title askes... I created an Imdb user account solely to leave a legitimate review for the new ABC show Promised Land. It would be a shame to see a show with the undeniable potential such as Promised Land be underservingly canceled all because of opinionated reviewers full of negativity whom make it blatantly obvious they have no taste nor foreknowledge of TV, Film or Entertainment. At the time of my commenting there were a total of five reviews of last night's season premiere of Promised Land, of which only one was rated higher then five star. So one positive review of eight stars & four negative reviews consisting of five stars or less. Not a fair assessment for a brand new show with so much acting talent, obvious producer skill, not to mention all the twists & turns this show will take the viewer through as the season unfolds! This is a show that given the chance will be action packed, leaving viewers on the edges of their seats biting their nails until the airing of each week's new episode!

Please if anyone from ABC sees my comment I beg you to not give this incredible new show the axe, especially not over negative reviews from a season premiere from people whom love sitting at home watching dull late night infomercials. The negative reviewers have no clue what they are talking about.

If you did not see this season premiere, I highly suggest you watch it aswell as any future episodes of Promised Land that will air IF given the proper chance this show has proven it deserves. If this show receives the recognition it deserves then viewers like myself will be treated with not only multiple episodes but multiple seasons. This show has the potential to go the distance & leave a mark on weekly syndicate TV that has been neglected for so long. Apologies for the long review but I thought it only fair to leave an honest review after seeing the absurd, dishonest reviews already left by others. Watch it for yourself if you consider yourself to be a fair, honest, open minded person.

I never watched Falconcrest nor the other soaps being mentioned in these reviews, but this soap opera about a complicated Latino family success story makes me say "you go!" Totally enjoying all the nasty back-stabbing escapades of this family and love the back story. Nice to see immigrants not treated entirely as pawns. And, as a Latino, is it so nice to see my peeps misbehave as much as other populations.

Highly irritating flashbacks. If the writers feel they need to keep popping so so so many flashbacks into the stories, then at least have the flashbacks a different color from present day scenes. Make the flashbacks black and white and give the viewers a break. Sometimes we blink or turn our head and we wonder is it the past or present.

Great show so far. I hope they reach their target audience because I'd hate for it to get canceled. It gets my California-born, Mexican stamp of approval!

I wish new shows would have a narrative explaining who's who briefly and how they are related/intertwined when there is a large cast. It reminds me of the show that I liked that got canceled: Grand Hotel.
