vranger Despite the handful of gushing review from the time, "Cane" was pretty terrible. It didn't last only 13 episode just by bad luck.It had a great cast, but the show was full of overwritten dialogue and eye-rolling plotting. Dallas was able to get away with that after 10 years of building an audience, but you can't come right out of gate like that, and the production behind Cane unwisely thought they could.From the previews, I was interested in the show. I only had to watch the pilot to lose that interest. This is one of quite a few would-be block-buster soaps to succumb to an early cancellation. Yellow Rose is another in that category, and is a show that I had started to enjoy.

mstcyr2 I think the fade out scene in episode #10 ("Time Away") with Alex Vega (Jimmy Smits) gazing into the Gulf wondering just how he got himself into his present situation, accompanied by the pulsating sound of "Outside" by Staind, is the single most captivating and meaningful scene that I have seen in television in recent years. CBS just has to stand by this show and accept the fact that it is simply too good to ever command a high ratings audience. In fact, CBS president Les Moonves ought to take Cane's less than stellar ratings as a compliment. This show is terrific.Mark

izzy_k77 Cane is a great show, the storyline is interesting the acting is great the soundtrack is always ON KEY...and the characters reactions issues and slow decay or uprise is really true to life. My only little tidbit with the show would have to be its one of those series you really have to watch from episode one to really appreciate to just jump on the band wagon a few episodes in takes away from a lot of the drama. Although a lot of shows have e this same problem. LONG STORY short brush up on the episodes you've missed and start watching this show ASAP...I'm telling you there's some really good series out there these days; Heroes, Prison Break, 24, House the primetime television entourage is really doing it up with some quality shows and cane is no acception.

Tom I watched all of Cane last night. Decent show, as for if I'm hooked - time will tell. Cane is kind of like what I expected: a Dallas like TV show... Cubans instead of Texians, Florida instead of Texas and Sugar instead of Oil. I kind of chuckled at some of the "Spanish speaking" moments - maybe I can learn Spanish watching this show lol. I think this show can appeal to a lot people regardless of background (white, black, Hispanic), hence you don't have to be Hispanic to enjoy this show. I think it does a good honor to the Hispanic culture and hard working freedom loving Cubans who live here in the United States after a long struggle to gain entry into this nation. (yes they join and serve in the US military too.) But back to my "Dallas" reference. This show is almost a mirror image of "Dallas," just things are different as I had mentioned. There's characters that fit each character in Dallas and there's a big mansion set in the tropics where everyone lives not out in the middle of dusty Texas. There's the old father who likes to ride horse back through the sugar fields as did Jock on the Southfork Ranch. Again, if you look close enough, you'll see these similarities :-) So thumbs up on Cane, but time will tell if I get hooked. I score a 9 out of 10, only because I'm not sure I'm hooked into watching every week just yet.
