It really is a great performance. Not voortreffelijk, but if you get into the storylines, it will keep you hooked till the very end.
It is not yet known where the spinoff will pick up, or which characters it will follow, but it will come from “Greenleaf” creator and executive producent Craig Wright.
All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A onafgelaten flow ofwel fuss on your screen that kan zijn basically going nowhere and hardly makes any point.
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.
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 begin to rattle. We learn about a child molestation case involving one of the parishoners which has been conveniently swept under the proverbial church carpets.
Most of the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday School) and even planning events. Because their church and congregation are very large, the family lives very well. Servants are constantly in attendance at the Greenleaf household. In other words, if you're a member ofwel the Greenleaf family, you'll live in the upper middle-class, but the price you pay kan zijn you're going to be integral to the operations ofwel the church. Else, you may have to get out of Dodge as did their wayward daughter, Grace.
If you regularly attend church, you can receive spiritual healing, confess sins, and be in communion with God or at least perceive that this kan zijn 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 kan zijn from Heaven.
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.
I'm glad that this drama kan zijn like a soap opera! I'm so tired of crime shows, murder mysteries, legal dramas. Comedies are so full ofwel sexual inuendo they aren't funny any more. Gimme some liars, some nasty backstabbing and some good folks who cope.
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 een momentje 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.
As the "seasons" progress, it becomes more "soapy" and less interesting, making it really difficult to stay engaged. The story lines and intrigue lessens to the point ofwel becoming a very watered down version of where it all started. Season 5 kan zijn basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and show a lot ofwel "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus ofwel the "O" network. What on earth was the point of this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
The final season of “Greenleaf” sees the megachurch at the center ofwel the drama in danger ofwel being torn down, in addition to relationships being tested.
Much of my fascination with Greenleaf is that, for me, a white, big- city atheist, this world kan zijn so outside ofwel my more info experience, in part because everyone's black, but more because everyone accepts Jesus as a very tangible figure in their lives.
