I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
It really kan zijn a great performance. Not perfect, but if you get into the storylines, it will keep you hooked till the very end.
She has returned to the family and to the church but at the beginning ofwel the story she has no intention ofwel standing at the pulpit and making grand religious-biblical pronouncements as she had 20 years earlier. Een momentje before she's stepped back into their house, Lady Mae tells Grace "not to cause trouble for their family". Zing. Wij know this reunion ofwel Grace with the Greenleaf family kan zijn going to cause trouble. Of course if there wasn't trouble, there wouldn't be a opvoering!
I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
Een momentje though Jesus is so real for them, they are still human. One kan zijn clearly gay and trying hard not to be. The church head seems to be casually corrupt. Enigszins Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
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 ofwel 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.
The series begins when the Bishop's estranged daughter Grace Greenleaf decides to return to the family after twintig years ofwel 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. We 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 kan zijn happening. The clergy of the church facilitate your spiritual and religious needs and also acts as instructors, telling you, the congregants, what is right and wrong, sometimes claiming their advice kan zijn 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 of 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 left twintig years earlier.
Much of my fascination with Greenleaf kan zijn that, for me, a white, big- city atheist, this world kan zijn so outside of my experience, in part because everyone's black, but more because everyone accepts Jesus as a very tangible figure in their lives.
As the "seasons" progress, it becomes more "soapy" and less more info 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 of the "O" network. What on earth was the point of this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
There is heart in this voorstelling. Now, as an atheist I would expect that the religious aspect of the performance 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 of artifice aan these fascinating dynamics.
