I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
It is about time a TV series dealt with the world ofwel organized, profit-motivated religious organizations.
I see great potential for an interesting look at the inside world of wealth. power and the cloak ofwel holiness. David Keith kan zijn 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.

I was so deeply moved by this opvoering that it led me to write my first review on here. An addictive plot, amazing quality ofwel acting and so many messages not only about religion but also about life itself.. The show has a way of pulling the audience inside of its world, making us feel like wij are one ofwel the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this show.
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.
The clergy of the church, almost regardless of the denomination, is there to support the church members and potential converts. However, what about those people who play the role of the clergy? Who offers pastors, bishops and the like the spiritual guidance they may need? And what if the people performing those duties are in some ways compromising what they're telling others? Are they practicing what they're preaching?
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 kan zijn surprisingly okay as the family rebel aunt who wants to use her niece to bring down her shady brother.
Have just discovered this performance on Netflix Australia and loving every minute of it. I love reading novels about family dramas, secrets and lies and so this was perfect read more for me.
The church business is a novel setting, and, with the exception of several scenes in the final season, isn't too preachy. The characters are fairly well developed and their interaction credible. Enigszins 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 kan zijn strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
I was prepared to be bored by this series but have been pleasantly surprised.The story lines of each of the characters are seemingly innocent but, become more complex with each episode.
She dons a white robe and performs the ceremony. This story may be about how Grace begins to rediscover and play the role she right 20 years earlier.
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 ofwel a writer's wand, but then it is fictional drama, not reality.
This is a soap opera with the theme about the workings ofwel a Black church. It has all the trappings ofwel 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, een momentje when they wake up in the mornings, etc. The dialog is "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.
I have watched last twee seasons of this voorstelling and am halfway through the 3 red and I find the show 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 of both.
Much of my fascination with Greenleaf is that, for me, a white, big- city atheist, this world is so outside of my experience, in part because everyone's black, but more because everyone accepts Jesus as a very tangible figure in their lives.
