Grace stays in town to play detective, looking for proof of 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 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 of the "soaps" wij used to love to watch way back when,but the quality ofwel the acting kan zijn excellent.
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 school dropouts wrote them.
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.
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 ofwel the mother or father), Grace decides to take the role she vowed she wouldn't play.
The clergy of the church, almost regardless ofwel the denomination, is there to support the church members and potential converts. However, what about those people who play the role ofwel 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?
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 of the church during services.
If you regularly attend church, you can receive spiritual healing, confess sins, and be in communion with God or at least perceive that this is happening. The clergy of the church facilitate your spiritual and religious needs and also acts as instructors, telling you, the congregants, what kan zijn right and wrong, sometimes claiming their advice is from Heaven.
The best ofwel 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 ofwel her father's megachurch for her sister's funeral, and mentions that she rarely goes to church in her new town.
I was prepared to be bored by this series but have been pleasantly surprised.The story lines ofwel each ofwel 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 twintig years earlier.
Having watched all 5 seasons, I'd say this family-based drama is a solid 7. It paints a roller coaster ofwel emotions within the turbulent world of 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 of 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, even 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 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 is top draw great to see Oprah and Pati la belle I am a big aanhanger ofwel both.
Much ofwel my fascination with Greenleaf is that, for me, a more info white, big- city atheist, this world is 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.
