  • Dexter: Season 3 Will "Change His Life Forever" | TV Show Previews | 7/1/2008

    Can you explain to me why Cane is getting such mixed reviews from critics and fans alike? I'm a bit biased since I live in south Florida (it's a big hit down here, as you can imagine) and I'm Cuban myself. The show's authenticity should not be questioned. It is spot-on in every aspect, from the music to the family to the south Floridian accents. But beyond that, it has a lot of substance. The characters are interesting, as is the family dynamic.
