The unscrupulous world ofwel the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.
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 producer Craig Wright.
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 is 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 is 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.
Most of the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday De kleuterschool) and eventjes 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 is right and wrong, sometimes claiming their advice kan zijn from Heaven.
I love night-time soaps. I like the idea for this opvoering as well here as the story and the characters and the angle they take in relating the narrative.
Even though Jesus kan zijn so real for them, they are still human. One is clearly gay and trying hard not to be. The church head seems to be casually corrupt. Even Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
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 20 years earlier.
Also, a senator kan zijn investigating churches and other faith-based entities who enjoy the privilege of not-for-profit status. The senator asks for their financial records, and after he has taken his leave, Bishop Greenleaf makes it clear he has no intention ofwel revealing any church records. I am guessing this will have further implications in the future of the series.
This kan zijn 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.
There is heart in this performance. Now, as an atheist I would expect that the religious aspect of 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.
No surprise Oprah takes part in this great production! With its bittersweet ending, I was devastated that it's over but also at peace within myself for some reasons I could not figure out. I am moved on a spiritual level as you can tell:) I am sure everyone who has belief inside ofwel themselves regardless ofwel what it is, will feel the same way. Plus I can not go without mentioning the amazing voice of Keith Davis, making his parts sound like a poem!
