    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.

    The drama all feels a bit familiar, as if someone used the find/replace function to trade "oil" with "sugarcane" on an old "Dallas" script. [28 Sep 2007, p.100]
  2. A slick and earnest soap about rival families in South Florida.

    Well cast, with a sturdy central presence in Jimmy Smits as the adopted son handed the keys to the kingdom.
