    What happened to this show? I looked forward to watching it each week. Jimmy Smits is perfect playing this character. His character is a mix of good and bad but Smits is so likable that you keep hoping he'll get it right. Bring it back.

    Love Jimmy Smits but the big problem with this show is NO WOMEN. No interesting women, anyway. They're just mothers and wives. Polly Walker should be a villianess but she's just bland, slipping in and out of her British accent. They need to cast a really hot woman to come in and stir things up.

    The pilot was very uneven, all over the place in terms of pace and backstory... like it was trying to do too much at once. However, the cast is generally excellent and so this one could hook many viewers over time. We'll see.

This family is loaded with marble sprinkler statues outside.Every room is a different spicy color. They have more sit downs than the U.N. but what are they talking about.

    "Cane" clearly lacks organization. This sort of drama seems to fall short on plotline and its premise won't take it very far. The pacing is all over the place and its storyline doesn't seem to have a base to support it, in which it makes the viewers wonder where this show is heading.
