The idea for Casa Grande was born on the set of A California Christmas. After all, Afshar, Swickard, and Tagliavini are each living the American Dream, having spent years hustling, making sacrifices, and committing themselves to their crafts in order to get to where they are today. Per its official synopsis, Casa Grande 'examines the compelling, everyday realities and conflicts between California's overworked and underpaid farmworkers and the wealthier families who own the farms and reap the profits.'īilled as a Yellowstone-esque narrative with a Downton Abbey-like upstairs-downstairs conflict, the series offers a multitudinous perspective on what it means to survive in America, specifically, the emotional, physical, and moral cost of striving for and achieving economic wealth.Ĭonsidering that Ali Afshar (producer / creator), Lauren Swickard (creator / writer / showrunner), and Gabriela Tagliavini (director) are the leading creative team behind Casa Grande, under Afshar's ESX Entertainment banner, it makes sense that the series both idolizes and criticizes the American Dream. Her solution is the same as it always is for her, kill the distractions.This view of the American Dream through the lens of migrant workers is the foundation of Amazon Freevee's newest series, Casa Grande, starring John Pyper-Ferguson, Christina Moore, Kate Mansi, James Marsters, Madison Lawlor, Javier Bolaños, Karen Bethzabe, and Christian James, among others. She wants to keep her empire safe and thriving, but lately she has been letting sex cloud her judgement. The truth is that the Timberwolves grew and evolved, and are now stronger than ever with her in charge. Of course, that was just the story that got out. She masterminded the massacre of the Tri-state Timberwolves five years ago that let the street red with blood and the Timberwolves extinct. That series begins with 7th Circle which introduces us to Hades. The Hades series, like the Madison Kate series, is set in Shadow Grove. The target of her hate is Archer D’Ath who just moved in down the hall. She is going to make someone pay for what they did to derail her plans. After being charged with a series of offenses, Kate is released with revenge on her mind. Madison had a carefully laid out future which has been derailed. She is alive though and she believes that she was set up. At least, that’s what they are saying and those words change Madison’s life forever. The book starts with a bang as Madison Kate Danvers is murdered. Hate is the first book in the Madison Kate series.
