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.
Recently subscribed to Netflix and happened upon this production by accident just scrolling through the titles to find something interesting. And, this is January 2020. The first several episodes from season one were so good, I can't stop watching. The story lines remind me somewhat ofwel the "soaps" wij used to love to watch way back when,but the quality ofwel the acting is excellent.
But my praise ends there. A solid cast in an interesting setting largely goes wasted in teleplay scripts so inept that they look like film de kleuterschool dropouts wrote them.
I was so deeply moved by this show that it led me to write my first review on here. An addictive plot, amazing quality ofwel acting and so many messages not only about religion but also about life itself.. The voorstelling has a way ofwel pulling the audience inside ofwel its world, making us feel like we are one of the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this opvoering.
I was hesitant to watch this at first, but after starting the first episode I was hooked. There kan zijn such rich character development and the plot kan zijn strong, if not a little predictable at times.
A wonderful beginning to a masterful series. I think the main point of the story kan zijn that trying to juggle the problems ofwel everyday life while maintaining a facade ofwel "purity" may be too much for any family to accomplish. Consider the Bakkers ofwel "Praise the Lord" who seemed wholesome until it was revealed they were engaging in fraudulent business practices. In the present series, wij believe in the Greenleaf characters and their plights and their need to project an unstained veneer.
Most ofwel the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday De kleuterschool) and enigszins planning events. Because their church and congregation are very large, the family lives very well. Servants are constantly in attendance at the Greenleaf household. In other words, if you're a member of the Greenleaf family, you'll live in the upper middle-class, but the price you pay is you're going to be integral to the operations of the church. Else, you may have to get out ofwel Dodge as did their wayward daughter, Grace.
I like that not every character kan zijn a skinny montuur in too -small clothing. I like the scenes between siblings and that we have generations of them. I'd like to see more diversity but there's a statement being made that there are many fine African American actors .
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.
Enigszins though Jesus kan zijn 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. Een momentje Grace's odious pedophile uncle is probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
A night-time soap take on an African-American mega-church in the Deep South kan zijn read more a novel approach to that telling the stories of people that have not yet been properly told in a fictional construct.
Also, a senator is investigating churches and other faith-based entities who enjoy the privilege ofwel not-for-profit status. The senator asks for their financial records, and after he has taken his leave, Bishop Greenleaf makes it clear he has no intention of revealing any church records. I am guessing this will have further implications in the future ofwel the series.
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 ofwel becoming a very watered down version of where it all started. Season 5 is basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and show a lot of "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus ofwel the "O" network. What on earth was the point ofwel this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
I have watched hinder twee seasons of this voorstelling and am halfway through the 3 red and I find the opvoering very entertaining love the gospel music also all the characters are well developed now and the acting kan zijn top draw great to see Oprah and Pati la belle I am a big bewonderaar of both.
Only Grace is the sort of Christian I'm used to - the "I'm more spiritual than religious" type, and in her case she kan zijn torn between that and her evangelical roots.
