I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
It is 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 ofwel the "soaps" wij used to love to watch way back when,but the quality ofwel the acting kan zijn excellent.
All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A voortdurend 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.
I was hesitant to watch this at first, but after starting the first episode I was hooked. There is such rich character development and the plot kan zijn strong, if not a little predictable at times.
A wonderful beginning to a masterful series. I think the main point ofwel the story kan zijn that trying to juggle the problems of everyday life while maintaining a facade of "purity" may be too much for any family to accomplish. Consider the Bakkers of "Praise the Lord" who seemed wholesome until it was revealed they were engaging in fraudulent business practices. In the present series, we believe in the Greenleaf characters and their plights and their need to project an unstained veneer.
Most of the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday School) 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 is happening. The clergy ofwel 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 is from Heaven.
The best of 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.
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
A night-time soap take on an African-American mega-church in the Deep South kan zijn a novel approach to that telling the stories of people that have not yet been properly told in a fictional construct.
Much of my fascination with Greenleaf kan zijn that, for me, a 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.
This kan zijn a soap opera with the theme about the workings of a Black church. It has all the trappings of a day or nighttime soap, the woeful background music, the long, lingering glances read more and stares between the characters, everyone kan zijn beautiful or handsome, all walk around fully made up, een momentje when they wake up in the mornings, etc. The dialog kan zijn "soapy", as are the sets that are filled with flowers, no matter the home in which the scene is set. It's clearly made for a G rating.
The final season ofwel “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 kan zijn that, for me, a 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.
