It really is a great opvoering. Not uitstekend, 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.
I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
Eventjes though Jesus kan zijn 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 of the mother or father), Grace decides to take the role she vowed she wouldn't play.
The clergy ofwel the church, almost regardless ofwel the denomination, is there to support the church members and potential converts. However, what about those people who play the role of the clergy? Who offers pastors, bishops and the like the spiritual guidance they may need? And what if the people performing those duties are in some ways compromising what they're telling others? Are they practicing what they're preaching?
It is an imagined glimpse into a secret world ofwel powerful people who profess piety and modesty but can't live it and wij get to see them at their best and worst. I aangezien to see it get multiple seasons.
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 kan zijn 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.
I was prepared to be bored by this series but have been pleasantly surprised.The story lines ofwel each of the characters are seemingly innocent but, become more complex with each episode.
She dons a white robe and performs read more the ceremony. This story may be about how Grace begins to rediscover and play the role she left twintig years earlier.
Having watched all 5 seasons, I'd say this family-based drama is a solid 7. It paints a roller coaster ofwel emotions within the turbulent world of the Greenleaf family and the megachurch they run. It does sometimes dive too deeply into soap opera style, and plot elements are sometimes resolved with a wave ofwel a writer's wand, but then it kan zijn fictional drama, not reality.
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 of becoming a very watered down version ofwel where it all started. Season 5 is basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and performance a lot of "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus ofwel the "O" network. What on earth was the point ofwel this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
There is heart in this opvoering. Now, as an atheist I would expect that the religious aspect ofwel the show would bother me at some point, but it doesnt. If you like dramas, and House ofwel Cards-esque settings, this might be your thing.
Much ofwel my fascination with Greenleaf is 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.
