Cane S01E02 (CBS)

As much as I enjoyed the pilot, in retrospect I wonder how good it
truly was. The second episode of Cane is a bit of a letdown. I didn’t
like it as much as I thought I would. Does that mean it sucked? I don’t
think so, but this show is trying to find itself. It’s a mix with
different premises. It’s a bit of Dynasty mixed in with The Sopranos.

The big intrigue in this series is how the
Duques will be able to maneuver around the Samuels in the sugar
refining field. The big thing about sugar refining is ethanol, which
can be used as a fuel source. The Samuels are good ol’ boys. The Duques
are Cuban Americans. Things are starting to heat up, especially since
Pancho, the Duque patriarch, gave control of the company to his adopted
son Alex Vega over his natural sons Frank and Henry.

For some reason, Frank is sleeping with Alice Samuels and is
actively betraying his family. He doesn’t seem to mind as long as he
gets some sex from Alice. Henry runs a nightclub. This episode was a
lot less interesting than the pilot. I wonder if the show will get
better in the next few episodes. I don’t recommend it anymore. I
suggest finding something better to watch.
