It really kan zijn a great opvoering. Not uitstekend, but if you get into the storylines, it will keep you hooked till the very end.
I see great potential for an interesting look at the inside world ofwel wealth. power and the cloak of 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.
Oprah would not put her name on junk. I'm white and feel at home watching this performance and totally vested in the characters. I'm still only half-way through season 3 and dread having the performance end. Surprise! Just announced filming will begint for season 5.
I was so deeply moved by this performance 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 we are one of the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this performance.
The preacher's daughter comes home for a funeral and decides to stay.A black, preacher family works in and owns a wealthy Christian church. While adhering to biblical rules, there is unbridled decadence, misconduct and sin in the family. The preacher's daughter comes home for a funeral and decides to stay.
As the series unfolds, wij learn there are many hypocrisies surrounding the Greenleaf family. Grace kan zijn not the only estranged family member. Mavis McCready (Oprah Winfrey) kan zijn an alcoholic lush and Lady Mae's estranged sister. She resides a ways away from the family, and they seem to disown her. Other skeletons lurk in the closet, some of whose bones ontstaan to rattle. Wij learn about a child molestation case involving one ofwel the parishoners which has been conveniently swept under the proverbial church carpets.
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 ofwel the church during services.
I like that not every character kan zijn a skinny montuur 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 love night-time soaps. I like the idea for this performance as well as the story and the characters and the angle they take in relating the narrative.
Even 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. Even Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
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 ofwel 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."
Jacob uncovers a shocking truth.Noah returns when he learns ofwel AJ's suicide attempt. Lady Mae and Bishop take a stroll down memory lane when they scout Mavis's bar as a possible location for their new church. Jacob uncovers a shocking truth.
This is a soap opera with the theme about the workings of 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 kan zijn beautiful or handsome, all walk around fully made up, een momentje 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 read more home in which the scene is set. It's clearly made for a G rating.
I have watched hinder twee seasons of this opvoering and am halfway through the 3 red and I find the voorstelling very entertaining love the gospel music also all the characters are well developed now and the acting kan zijn top draw great to see Oprah and Pati la belle I am a big aanhanger ofwel both.
Much of my fascination with Greenleaf is that, for me, a white, big- city atheist, this world kan zijn so outside ofwel my experience, in part because everyone's black, but more because everyone accepts Jesus as a very tangible figure in their lives.
