South Beach

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!

Apparently this show has virtually a little bit of everything: It's "The OC", "The Sopranos", "Scarface", "Las Vegas" and "Desperate Housewives"-all mixed up in one show. The best part of it-It stars the Sexiest Woman Alive-Vanessa L. Williams. Vanessa plays Elizabeth, The den mother to Matt & Vince-The show's central characters. Elizabeth has her own child, Alex-from an interracial marriage.I think it's up to some tough competition-From "Idol" & "Lost". Thank heaven for TiVo, because This Show will become a major catastrophe when CBS and Warner Bros. will form a new TV network that will Replace the existing, yet soon to be departed UPN and The WB.

I can't believe you could say such cruel things about this show! I absolutely love it and hope that the first season comes out on DVD! It's been the best show I have seen in a while...Some people may not like it but some really do so please don't cancel it! The acting is great and the story line is awesome! The last episode, when Alex goes to the graveyard made me cry. It's a great dramatized show and I also know others who really like it too! If you don't like it, you could always watch another show...I will try and do whatever I can to get South Beach's first season on DVD...By the way, I think that you should add a good comment about the show on the front too...if it's just a bad comment, that's encouraging people not to watch it and I think that both sides should have a say in it

For many weeks, I awaited the premier of South Beach.

The show was moderate in tempo, had an okay plot, but what pitched my attention and in my opinion, was the highlight of the show, was when the guy with the tattoos was shot.

Never before did I ever feel sorry for the bad guy!

This young actor's performance was so believable--- so powerful, not only was his facial expressions and body language so realistic and by the way, on the money, but he is also hot looking. Handsome! Handsome! Handsome!

Gals pay attention!

I hope the production casts him in the next episode and lets us know what happened to him as it was unclear in the show. His character seemed to disappear after he was shot.

South Beach producers are you listening! The guy with the tattoos is truly a keeper and his performance is worthy of an entire season!

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!!!
