Only Grace kan zijn the sort ofwel Christian I'm used to - the "I'm more spiritual than religious" type, and in her case she is torn between that and her evangelical roots.
Een momentje 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 is probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
It kan zijn about time a TV series dealt with the world of 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 is 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 ofwel character who might end up on Dr. Phil! While some of the situations might be perceived as melodramatic, other issues are dealt with, such as homosexuality, interracial sex, and een momentje infidelity. For a family which kan zijn supposed to be holier than the congregation they serve, they seem to be digging some fairly large holes!
I like that not every character is 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 .
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.
Most ofwel the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday De kleuterschool) and even 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 ofwel the Greenleaf family, you'll live in the upper middle-class, but the price you pay kan zijn you're going to be integral to the operations ofwel the church. Else, you may have to get out of Dodge as did their wayward daughter, Grace.
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 ofwel 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.
Having watched all 5 seasons, I'd say this family-based drama is a solid 7. It paints a roller coaster ofwel emotions within the turbulent world ofwel the Greenleaf family and the megachurch they run. It does sometimes dive too deeply into soap opera style, and plot elements are sometimes resolved with a wave of a writer's wand, but then check here it is fictional drama, not reality.
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 ofwel a Southern mega-church headed by a family of 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 kan zijn an imagined glimpse into a secret world ofwel powerful people who profess piety and modesty but can't live it and wij get to see them at their best and worst. I omdat to see it get multiple seasons.
