Promised Land

This show is really mediocre as is the acting. You can see things coming from a mile away. All formula writing with a lot of holes in the story. Obviously not written for a thinking person. Add some pretty women for the male viewers for camouflage and you have an ideal soap opera for the intellectually challeneged. The show is all about rich families with problems to make viewers feel good that rich people have problems too. Every show in the last 40 years used this formula. If you remember Falcon Crest and Dynasty from years back, just change the families to Mexicans and you have the new series. If you like soap operas you will like this show.

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 watched the first episode. This seems to be little more than an updated Latino version of the 1980s "Falconcrest" TV series. Additionally, the large (though logical) use of subtitles because of the numerous scenes in Spanish make it hard to follow.

You can say whatever about the story, but I am from Mexico and I can tell you that I do identify with some characters at times. It has a good level, surprising for me, of authenticism. The roots of each person, the Mexican Spanish, the acting is all pretty good.

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.
