The unscrupulous world ofwel the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.
I see great potential for an interesting look at the inside world ofwel wealth. power and the cloak ofwel holiness. David Keith is 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.
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 school dropouts wrote them.
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.
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 is 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 of the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday School) and een momentje 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 ofwel the church. Else, you may have to get out ofwel Dodge as did their wayward daughter, Grace.
I like that not every character is a skinny model in too -small clothing. I like the scenes between siblings and that wij have generations ofwel 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 kan zijn 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 over the funeral home.
I'm glad that this drama kan Dutch greenleaf zijn like a soap opera! I'm so tired of crime shows, murder mysteries, legal dramas. Comedies are so full of sexual inuendo they aren't funny any more. Gimme some liars, some nasty backstabbing and some good folks who cope.
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 kan zijn investigating churches and other faith-based entities who enjoy the privilege of 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 ofwel revealing any church records. I am guessing this will have further implications in the future of 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 aan these fascinating dynamics.
The final season ofwel “Greenleaf” sees the megachurch at the center of the drama in danger of being torn down, in addition to relationships being tested.
No surprise Oprah takes part in this great production! With its bittersweet ending, I was devastated that it's aan 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 of what it kan zijn, will feel the same way. Plus I can not go without mentioning the amazing voice ofwel Keith Davis, making his parts sound like a poem!
