I have watched hinder twee seasons ofwel this performance 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 is top draw great to see Oprah and Pati la belle I am a big aanhanger ofwel both.
The series begins when the Bishop's estranged daughter Grace Greenleaf decides to return to the family after twintig years ofwel self-imposed exile. We learn that she had been a preacher for the church but decided to end her clerical life and live among secular culture. We also learn that James Greenleaf had designs for her daughter possibly to succeed him as the main voice of the church during services.
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 of the drama, its centrality overshadows the series' more subtle aspects.
It really is a great performance. Not voortreffelijk, but if you get into the storylines, it will keep you hooked till the very end.
All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A onophoudelijk flow ofwel fuss on your screen that is basically going nowhere and hardly makes any point.
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 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 enigszins 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 like that not every character is a skinny ontwerp 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 .
I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
Most of 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 kan zijn 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.
Lynn Whitfield, as always, holds her own as the matriarch ofwel 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 check here 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.
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.
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 of 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 it is fictional drama, not reality.
The church business is a novel setting, and, with the exception ofwel several scenes in the final season, isn't too preachy. The characters are fairly well developed and their interaction credible. Even though the plot seems to point to the eldest daughter, Grace, as the main focal point, in my opinion the matriarch Lady Mae is the star of the show. She is strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
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?
It is 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.
