It’s all good brudda. I celebrated the wife’s birthday out there some years ago. We hired a company to take us on a tour of vineyards, which theirs was excluded from. They have a nice bar in downtown Napa and their selection is pretty good. Their wine glasses were pricy but I copped a couple for special occasions and had a case shipped back to NYC to support.
Thats dope
Hoodoo Child
The Urban Legend
And the "Petty of Year" award goes too..
low.
i decided to watch the four episodes last night (while also falling asleep twice). besides all off the observations in this thread which are spot on, the show in general just gives the flavor of a new money’s perception of old money. nothing accurate at all. just an Empire with respectability politics (and I haven’t seen Empire outside of the first two episodes).
Also, what I haven’t heard people talk about is the heavy LGBT themes. It’s really heavy. Besides the lesbian story line, there is an inclusion of trannies and drag queens that just takes it over the top. And it’s done so in a way thats actually disrespectful to them in that they are only there to provide comedic relief and entertainment. Being typecast without advancing storylines or needing to have any impact on the main story. Which is why it’s obvious their ‘inclusion’ was just thrown in there to satisfy lgbt audiences when it’s not rooted in reality.

Another one in the works
Written by The Good Fight and Evil co-executive producer Davita Scarlett, who is under an overall deal at CBS Studios, the drama for Paramount+ is inspired by Cheryl McKissack, fifth generation owner of the oldest minority and female construction company in America. Described as Dynasty meets Succession in a high stakes family saga, the series follows a 5th generation Black, NYC female construction magnate in the hard-knuckled male-dominated world of a trillion dollar industry in which she navigates big money; city and state politics; and above all else, family.
Scarlett and McKissack executive produce; McKissack’s producing partner Chandra McQueen is a producer.
“If people don’t know Cheryl McKissack, they’re going to be in for a real treat. She is really one of a kind,” Ducksworth said. “She is running the oldest and biggest minority-owned construction company in the country, she’s fifth-generation, roots in the South, has been working here in New York, doing the biggest kind of endeavors in the field of construction for decades, including Barclays Arena in Brooklyn as well as Harlem Hospital. She is renovating Terminal 1 for JFK now and has many, many projects that are in the works.”

Series finale you mean as it's not getting picked up for a 2nd season or it would have already been renewed by now.
Great show
won't know if its renewed until late spring, usually right before Upfronts
Fox: Renewal Chances For ‘The Big Leap’, ‘Our Kind Of People’ & ‘The Cleaning Lady’ – Deadline
Fox’s Michael Thorn On Renewal Chances For ‘The Big Leap’, ‘Our Kind Of People’ & ‘The Cleaning Lady’ & Gives ‘The Last Police’ Update
January 18, 2022 9:00am
Fox launched three new drama series this season – The Big Leap, Our Kind of People and The Cleaning Lady.
The Big Leap and Our Kind of People both were designed for shorter episode runs – the former, for instance, wrapped up its 11-episode freshman run at the end of last year, and Our Kind of People was handed 12 episodes.
Fox now is working out whether to bring them back for second seasons.
President of Entertainment Michael Thorn told Deadline: “I think we’ll make decisions in the late spring. Creatively, we’re extremely pleased with both shows, both have really strong creative teams and really specific, relevant, resonant storylines and there are a lot of factors that go into how we measure success.”
He added that it will look at all of the data that comes from delayed viewing as well as story opportunities.
Both The Big Leap and Our Kind of People launched to high expectations, with the ballet drama-comedy drawing parallels to Fox’s breakout hit Glee, and the soapy Our Kind of People, executive produced by Lee Daniels, evoking comparisons to the Lee-co-created Empire, which had a very successful run on the network. However, linear ratings for both shows have been soft.
They were joined by midseason launch The Cleaning Lady – based on an Argentinean series – earlier this month. Thorn said that he was pleased with its early performance – holding in its second week with “strong” delayed viewing.
“We’re creatively pleased with all three shows, and just want to take a step back and see what’s best for us as we go forward,” he added.
Elsewhere, Thorn also gave an update on the status of Kyle Killen’s pilot The Last Police.
The adaptation of Ben Winters’ sci-fi mystery novel The Last Policeman, is written, directed and exec produced by the Lone Star and Awake creator via his Chapter Eleven production banner.
The Last Police follows a small-town police detective, who, as an asteroid races toward an apocalyptic collision with Earth, believes she’s been chosen to save humanity, while her cynical partner can’t decide what he’ll enjoy more: her delusional failure, or the end of the world itself. It stars Blu Hunt and Reno Wilson as leads.
Thorn said the pilot was in the middle of the post process now. “It’s too soon to say what the timeline is. Kyle did a great job on the pilot and we’re just trying to figure out next steps on both the pilot and in any kind of decision making,” he added.

Won't jump the gun until the network makes the decision public
For the most part, networks typically don't wait until the season finale or after to announce if a show will be picked up for next season or not. That's why it doesn't bode well for this show.

Feel like a lot of these black drama shows need to be on cable...like Starz, especially now with the whole Power universe.
Network TV, you gotta have crazy ratings to stand out and it's too difficult to differentiate yourself. On cable, you can take more creative risks, have fewer episodes and tell a tight story.
Fox can't seem to get it right anymore.
