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. Een momentje Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
The series begins when the Bishop's estranged daughter Grace Greenleaf decides to return to the family after 20 years of self-imposed exile. Wij learn that she had been a preacher for the church but decided to end her clerical life and live among secular culture. Wij also learn that James Greenleaf had designs for her daughter possibly to succeed him as the main voice ofwel 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 ofwel the drama, its centrality overshadows the series' more subtle aspects.
It really kan zijn a great performance. Not prima, 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 of fuss on your screen that is basically going nowhere and hardly makes any point.
She has returned to the family and to the church but at the beginning of the story she has no intention of standing at the pulpit and making grand religious-biblical pronouncements as she had 20 years earlier. Eventjes before she's stepped back into their house, Lady Mae tells Grace "not to cause trouble for their family". Zing. Wij know this reunion of Grace with the Greenleaf family kan zijn going to cause trouble. Ofwel course if there wasn't trouble, there wouldn't be a performance!
I was so deeply moved by this voorstelling that it led me to write my first review on here. An addictive plot, amazing quality of acting and so many messages not only about religion but also about life itself.. The performance has a way of pulling the audience inside ofwel its world, making us feel like we are one ofwel the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this voorstelling.
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.
I often object to character-driven dramas without much story, but in this case, I feel the story arc lays an element ofwel artifice aan these fascinating dynamics.
At first Grace just agrees to answer phones at the church offices as the first voice heard by either church members or potential converts. When a grandmother enters her office asking that her granddaughter be baptized (without it seems permission of the mother or father), Grace decides to take the role she vowed she wouldn't play.
Have just discovered this opvoering on Netflix Australia and loving every minute of it. I love reading novels about family dramas, secrets and lies and so this was perfect for me.
The final season ofwel “Greenleaf” sees the megachurch at the center ofwel the drama in danger of being torn down, in addition to relationships being tested.
As the "seasons" progress, it becomes more "soapy" and less interesting, making it really difficult to stay engaged. The story lines and intrigue lessens to the point of becoming a very watered down version of where it all started. Season 5 is basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and performance a lot ofwel "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus ofwel the "O" network. What on earth was the point of this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
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 of a Southern mega-church headed by a family ofwel sly hypocrites. Living in luxury and wielding check here 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?
This kan zijn a soap opera with the theme about the workings of a Black church. It has all the trappings of a day or nighttime soap, the woeful background music, the long, lingering glances and stares between the characters, everyone is beautiful or handsome, all walk around fully made up, eventjes when they wake up in the mornings, etc. The dialog kan zijn "soapy", as are the sets that are filled with flowers, no matter the home in which the scene kan zijn set. It's clearly made for a G rating.
