It really kan zijn a great show. Not prima, 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 ofwel 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 show and totally vested in the characters. I'm still only half-way through season 3 and dread having the opvoering end. Surprise! Just announced filming will begint for season 5.
I was so deeply moved by this opvoering 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 performance has a way ofwel pulling the audience inside ofwel its world, making us feel like wij are one ofwel the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this show.
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 kan zijn 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) is 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.
It kan zijn an imagined glimpse into a secret world ofwel powerful people who profess piety and modesty but can't live it and we get to see them at their best and worst. I want to see it get multiple seasons.
The unscrupulous world ofwel 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.
The church business kan zijn 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. Even 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 show. She kan zijn strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
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 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 ofwel character who might end up on Dr. Phil! While some of the situations might be perceived as melodramatic, other issues are dealt with, such as homosexuality, interracial sex, and eventjes infidelity. For a family which is supposed to be holier than the congregation they serve, they seem to be digging some fairly large holes!
Having watched all 5 seasons, I'd say this family-based drama kan zijn a solid 7. It paints a roller coaster of emotions within the turbulent world ofwel the Greenleaf family and the megachurch they run. It does sometimes more info dive too deeply into soap opera style, and plot elements are sometimes resolved with a wave of a writer's wand, but then it kan zijn 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 is beautiful or handsome, all walk around fully made up, eventjes 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.
There is heart in this performance. Now, as an atheist I would expect that the religious aspect ofwel the opvoering would bother me at some point, but it doesnt. If you like dramas, and House ofwel Cards-esque settings, this might be your thing.
I often object to character-driven dramas without much story, but in this case, I feel the story arc lays an element ofwel artifice aan these fascinating dynamics.
