Oprah would not put her name on junk. I'm white and feel at home watching this opvoering and totally vested in the characters. I'm still only half-way through season 3 and dread having the show end. Surprise! Just announced filming will begint for season 5.
It really is a great performance. Not perfect, but if you get into the storylines, it will keep you hooked till the very end.
I'm glad that this drama is like a soap opera! I'm so tired ofwel crime shows, murder mysteries, legal dramas. Comedies are so full ofwel sexual inuendo they aren't funny any more. Gimme some liars, some nasty backstabbing and some good folks who cope.
The unscrupulous world ofwel the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.
Mac's repugnant father, firmly unwelcome at the church, visits his son to wangle some money.The Bishop kan zijn furious when the auditors demand the Bishop's personal tax returns. Mac, the new Memphis Man ofwel the Year, kan zijn told to fix this. Mac's repugnant father, firmly unwelcome at the church, visits his son to wangle some money.
But my praise ends there. A solid cast in an interesting setting largely goes wasted in teleplay scripts so inept that they look like film school dropouts wrote them.
I often object to character-driven dramas without much story, but in this case, I feel the story arc lays an element ofwel artifice over these fascinating dynamics.
At first Grace just agrees to answer phones at the church offices as the first voice heard by either church members or potential converts.

Have just discovered this performance on Netflix Australia and loving every minute of it. I love reading novels about family dramas, secrets and lies and so this was perfect for me.
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 here because everyone accepts Jesus as a very tangible figure in their lives.
As the series unfolds, we 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 ontstaan to rattle. We learn about a child molestation case involving one of the parishoners which has been conveniently swept under the proverbial church carpets.
Recently subscribed to Netflix and happened upon this production by accident just scrolling through the titles to find something interesting. And, this kan zijn 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" we used to love to watch way back when,but the quality ofwel the acting kan zijn excellent.
A wonderful beginning to a masterful series. I think the main point of the story is that trying to juggle the problems ofwel everyday life while maintaining a facade ofwel "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.
This is 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 and stares between the characters, everyone kan zijn beautiful or handsome, all walk around fully made up, eventjes 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.
