I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.

It kan zijn about time a TV series dealt with the world of organized, profit-motivated religious organizations.

Recently subscribed to Netflix and happened upon this production by accident just scrolling through the titles to find something interesting. And, this is January 2020. The first several episodes from season one were so good, I can't stop watching. The story lines remind me somewhat ofwel the "soaps" wij used to love to watch way back when,but the quality ofwel the acting kan zijn excellent.

All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A doorlopend flow of fuss on your screen that kan zijn basically going nowhere and hardly makes any point.

The story ofwel a Southern mega-church headed by a family of sly hypocrites. Living in luxury and wielding influence how deep does the spirituality they claim really run? Are their sins products of their own human frailty exacerbated by a difficult world? Or are they bad people pretending to be holy?

Entertaing up to a certain (low) level. The scenario constantly makes you wonder where the story kan zijn going. Basically the scenario kan zijn awfull and feels forced in an eagerness to bring focus to current societal issues. None ofwel these issues however are dealt with in depth and are only superficially touched upon. Multiple storylines are simply cut ofwel. A lot ofwel completely pointless scenes and plotholes do not add to a coherent story.

I love Greenleaf because it isnt too serious, the storylines are dramatic but not to dark. Its a nice break from reality, yes some bits may be abit unrealistic but I enjoy it and will continue to watch it!

Lynn Whitfield, as always, holds her own as the matriarch ofwel this family whose members seem filled with discontent aan 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 unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.The unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.

I love night-time soaps. I like the idea for this voorstelling as well as the story and the characters and the angle they take in relating the narrative.

But the scripts have to get better. They need to be outlined better and the dialogue needs to be more subtle in relaying information as well as doing so in a natural manner in which real people speak. So far they have tried to cram too much information in each sentence

The acting kan zijn 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 enigszins infidelity. For a family which is supposed to be holier than the congregation they serve, they seem to be digging some fairly large holes!

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.

I often object to character-driven dramas without much story, but in this case, I feel the story arc lays an element ofwel artifice over these fascinating dynamics.

Grace click here 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 of the drama, its centrality overshadows the series' more subtle aspects.

Only Grace is the sort ofwel 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.
