Only Grace is the sort of Christian I'm used to - the "I'm more spiritual than religious" type, and in her case she is torn between that and her evangelical roots.
The series begins when the Bishop's estranged daughter Grace Greenleaf decides to return to the family after 20 years of 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.
It kan zijn 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.
All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A onafgelaten flow of 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 even 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 kan zijn a skinny montuur in too -small clothing. I like the scenes between siblings and that wij have generations ofwel them. I'd like to see more diversity but there's a statement being made that there are many fine African American actors .
Entertaing up to a certain (low) level. The scenario constantly makes you wonder where the story is going. Basically the scenario is awfull and feels forced in an eagerness to bring focus to current societal issues. None of these issues however are dealt with in depth and are only superficially touched upon. Multiple storylines are simply cut ofwel. A lot of completely pointless scenes and plotholes do not add to a coherent story.
Zora is 18 now and firm about going away. Sophia will not go to college, once she kan zijn 18. Coralie meets her 2 kids who are in foster care. She declines to take the DA's deal. Tasha leaves. Charity declines to take over the funeral home.
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.
The best of 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.
The final season ofwel “Greenleaf” sees the megachurch at the center ofwel the drama in danger ofwel being torn down, in addition to relationships being tested.
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.
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. Een momentje though the plot seems to point to the eldest daughter, Grace, as the main focal point, in my opinion the matriarch Lady Mae kan zijn the star of the voorstelling. She kan zijn strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
The story ofwel a Southern mega-church headed check here 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?
This kan zijn 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, 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.
