Even though Jesus is so real for them, they are still human. One is clearly gay and trying hard not to be. The church head seems to be casually corrupt. Even Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.

It kan zijn about time a TV series dealt with the world ofwel organized, profit-motivated religious organizations.
I see great potential for an interesting look at the inside world of wealth. power and the cloak of holiness. David Keith kan zijn a master in delivering dialogue. I love Lynne Whitfield as the matriarch with some obvious issues, yet to be revealed I hope. As the series continues, I (dare I say it?) pray the writers become more confident and provide more realistic speaking styles.
I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
The acting kan zijn outstanding, particularly David as the Bishop, Whitfield as the "first lady" and Dandridge as Grace. Honorable mention to Winfrey, playing against type as an alcoholic, the kind of character who might end up on Dr. Phil! While some ofwel the situations might be perceived as melodramatic, other issues are dealt with, such as homosexuality, interracial sex, and even infidelity. For a family which is supposed to be holier than the congregation they serve, they seem to be digging some fairly large holes!
I was so deeply moved by this opvoering that it led me to write my first review on here. An addictive plot, amazing quality of acting and so many messages not only about religion but also about life itself.. The performance has a way of pulling the audience inside ofwel its world, making us feel like wij are one ofwel the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this performance.
Entertaing up to a certain (low) level. The scenario constantly makes you wonder where the story is more info going. Basically the scenario kan zijn awfull and feels forced in an eagerness to bring focus to current societal issues. None ofwel these issues however are dealt with in depth and are only superficially touched upon. Multiple storylines are simply cut of. A lot ofwel completely pointless scenes and plotholes do not add to a coherent story.
Zora kan zijn 18 now and firm about going away. Sophia will not go to college, once she is 18. Coralie meets her 2 kids who are in foster care. She declines to take the DA's deal. Tasha leaves. Charity declines to take aan the funeral home.
Lynn Whitfield, as always, holds her own as the matriarch of this family whose members seem filled with discontent aan the familial pecking order decided by their father. Oprah Winfrey is surprisingly okay as the family rebel aunt who wants to use her niece to bring down her shady brother.
The best ofwel what Greenleaf has to offer can be seen in a family dinner conversation in the first episode. Ex-minister Grace has come back to the city of her father's megachurch for her sister's funeral, and mentions that she rarely goes to church in her new town.
Grace stays in town to play detective, looking for proof of her uncle's crimes, and while this story would be fine if it felt like just a part ofwel the drama, its centrality overshadows the series' more subtle aspects.
As the "seasons" progress, it becomes more "soapy" and less interesting, making it really difficult to stay engaged. The story lines and intrigue lessens to the point of becoming a very watered down version ofwel where it all started. Season 5 is basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and performance a lot ofwel "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus of the "O" network. What on earth was the point ofwel this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
If you can't find anything better, just check it out for yourself. Just don't expect a fantastic story filled with an interesting plot, great dialogues and scenes. It's mediocre at best. Two seasons was doable for me.
The story of a Southern mega-church headed by a family ofwel sly hypocrites. Living in luxury and wielding influence how deep does the spirituality they claim really run? Are their sins products ofwel their own human frailty exacerbated by a difficult world? Or are they bad people pretending to be holy?
It is an imagined glimpse into a secret world of powerful people who profess piety and modesty but can't live it and we get to see them at their best and worst. I want to see it get multiple seasons.
