Even though Jesus kan zijn so real for them, they are still human. One kan zijn clearly gay and trying hard not to be. The church head seems to be casually corrupt. Eventjes Grace's odious pedophile uncle is probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
Enigszins though Jesus is so real for them, they are still human. One kan zijn clearly gay and trying hard not to be. The church head seems to be casually corrupt. Een momentje Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn 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 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.
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 unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.
Mac's repugnant father, firmly unwelcome at the church, visits his son to wangle some money.The Bishop kan zijn furious when the auditors demand the Bishop's personal tax returns. Mac, the new Memphis Man of the Year, is told to fix this. Mac's repugnant father, firmly unwelcome at the church, visits his son to wangle some money.
I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
Most ofwel the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday De kleuterschool) 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 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 of 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 of 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 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 ofwel 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 of 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 it kan zijn 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 ofwel sly hypocrites. Living in luxury and wielding influence how deep does the spirituality they claim really run? Are their sins products greenleaf of 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 of 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.
