Promised Land

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.

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.

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!
