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.
It kan zijn about time a TV series dealt with the world ofwel organized, profit-motivated religious organizations.
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 of the acting kan zijn excellent.
All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A constant flow of fuss on your screen that is basically going nowhere and hardly makes any point.
The story ofwel 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?
I was hesitant to watch this at first, but after starting the first episode I was hooked. There is such rich character development and the plot is strong, if not a little predictable at times.
A wonderful beginning to a masterful series. I think the main point of the story is that trying to juggle the problems of everyday life while maintaining a facade of "purity" may be too much for any family to accomplish. Consider the Bakkers of "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.
Lynn Whitfield, as always, holds her own as the matriarch ofwel this family whose members seem filled with discontent over 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 unscrupulous world ofwel the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.The unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.
I love night-time soaps. I like the idea for this voorstelling as well as the story and the characters and the angle they take in relating the narrative.
Eventjes 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. Eventjes Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
It's at times very hard to make any sense ofwel this all and the reason is probably that there isn't one. The whole series feels like a cinematic supermarket that's low on stock and has a small variation of products. On the plus; I'm not a religious person, but I basically like how bible quotes are thrown into daily conversations, although at times I hear myself thinking "Please God, no more."
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.
I often object to character-driven dramas without much story, but in this case, I feel the story arc lays an element of artifice over these fascinating dynamics.

No surprise website Oprah takes part in this great production! With its bittersweet ending, I was devastated that it's over but also at peace within myself for some reasons I could not figure out. I am moved on a spiritual level as you can tell:) I am sure everyone who has belief inside of themselves regardless ofwel what it is, will feel the same way. Plus I can not go without mentioning the amazing voice of Keith Davis, making his parts sound like a poem!
