It really kan zijn 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 of 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.
Even though Jesus is 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 is 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, kan zijn there to support the church members and potential converts. However, what about those people who play the role ofwel 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 kan zijn an imagined glimpse into a secret world ofwel powerful people who profess piety and modesty but can't live it and we get to see them at their best and worst. I want 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 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 church business kan zijn a novel setting, and, with the exception ofwel several scenes in the final season, isn't too preachy. The characters are fairly well developed and their interaction credible. Een momentje though the plot seems to point to the eldest daughter, Grace, as the main focal point, in my opinion the matriarch Lady Mae kan zijn the star ofwel the opvoering. She is strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
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 right 20 years earlier.
Much of my fascination with Greenleaf is 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 interesting, making it really difficult to stay engaged. The story lines and intrigue lessens to the point of becoming a very watered check here down version ofwel 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 performance a lot ofwel "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus of 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 performance. 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 ofwel artifice over these fascinating dynamics.
