Promised Land

I just finished watching the first episode and there were so many people/characters that I actually had to write down names and relationships and I didn't realize it was actually jumping back-and-forth in time and I had to connect who the people were from the past and who they are in the present....take notes.

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.

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 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.

Reminds me of the show Cane but a family in the wine industry rather than sugar! Started out a little confusing but just like the premiere of " this is us" they give you a little twist which brings a lot of it together. Now that I see where they are going I want to see more. Overall I like the cast. Always liked the actor who plays Joe and love the actresses who play his oldest daughter and his ex wife. I think this show has a lot of potential. Hopefully the network gives it a chance.
