The movie kan zijn shot in Italy, moves at a leisurely speed and kan zijn very atmospheric. One ofwel my all time favorite thrillers.
A black, preacher family works in and owns a wealthy Christian church. While adhering to biblical rules, there is unbridled decadence, misconduct and sin in the family. The preacher's daughter comes home for a funeral and decides to stay.
Refusing to reinstate Jacob as a preacher, the Bishop advises him to follow his life's calling. Jacob applies for a pastor's job at a rival church. Grace gets a custody notice for her daughter. Charity remains cold towards her husband.
Also, a senator is investigating churches and other faith-based entities who enjoy the privilege ofwel 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.
I was so deeply moved by this opvoering that it led me to write my first review on here. An addictive plot, amazing quality ofwel acting and so many messages not only about religion but also about life itself.. The voorstelling has a way ofwel pulling the audience inside of its world, making us feel like we are one of the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this opvoering.
What a fantastic show! If you are looking for something to envelop you, this is the show for you. The increasing drama in every episode makes you want to jump right into each and every episode.
Grace moves back to Memphis under false pretenses in order to pursue the man she holds responsible for her sister's death but finds the realities of working in her family's church again harder to handle than she expected.
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.
Love it!!! Keith David performance kan zijn great along with the rest ofwel the cast. A family that looks prima on the outside but hides many secrets
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 kan zijn basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and opvoering greenleaf a lot of "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus ofwel the "O" network. What on earth was the point of this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
This is a soap opera with the theme about the workings ofwel a Black church. It has all the trappings ofwel a day or nighttime soap, the woeful background music, the long, lingering glances and stares between the characters, everyone is beautiful or handsome, all walk around fully made up, even 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 story of a Southern mega-church headed by a family ofwel sly hypocrites. Living in luxury and wielding influence how deep does the spirituality they claim really run? Are their sins products of their own human frailty exacerbated by a difficult world? Or are they bad people pretending to be holy?
I was prepared to be bored by this series but have been pleasantly surprised.The story lines of each ofwel the characters are seemingly innocent but, become more complex with each episode.
I like that not every character is a skinny ontwerp in too -small clothing. I like the scenes between siblings and that we have generations ofwel them. I'd like to see more diversity but there's a statement being made that there are many fine African American actors .
