Only Grace is the sort of Christian I'm used to - the "I'm more spiritual than religious" type, and in her case she is torn between that and her evangelical roots.
It's at times very hard to make any sense of this all and the reason is probably that there isn't one. The whole series feels like a cinematic supermarket that's low on stock and has a small variation ofwel products. On the plus; I'm not a religious person, but I basically like how bible quotes are thrown into daily conversations, although at times I hear myself thinking "Please God, no more."
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 performance end. Surprise! Just announced filming will start for season 5.
It really kan zijn a great opvoering. Not prima, but if you get into the storylines, it will keep you hooked till the very end.
I'm gemakkelijk that this drama is like a soap opera! I'm so tired of crime shows, murder mysteries, legal dramas. Comedies are so full of sexual inuendo they aren't funny any more. Gimme some liars, some nasty backstabbing and some good folks who cope.
She has returned to the family and to the church but at the beginning of the story she has no intention ofwel standing at the pulpit and making grand religious-biblical pronouncements as she had 20 years earlier. Even before she's stepped back into their house, Lady Mae tells Grace "not to cause trouble for their family". Zing. We know this reunion ofwel Grace with the Greenleaf family is going to cause trouble. Ofwel course if there wasn't trouble, there wouldn't be a performance!

Entertaing up to a certain (low) level. The scenario constantly makes you wonder where the story kan zijn going. Basically the scenario is awfull and feels forced in an eagerness to bring focus to current societal issues. None ofwel these issues however are dealt with in depth and are only superficially touched upon. Multiple storylines are simply cut of. A lot ofwel completely pointless scenes and plotholes do not add to a coherent story.

The best ofwel what Greenleaf has to offer can be seen in a family dinner conversation in the first episode. Ex-minister Grace has read more come back to the city ofwel her father's megachurch for her sister's funeral, and mentions that she rarely goes to church in her new town.
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.
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 of where it all started. Season 5 is basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and voorstelling a lot ofwel "woman power". Not surprising since this was the focus of the "O" network. What on earth was the point of this other than to fill a slot on the "O" Network?
The church business kan zijn a novel setting, and, with the exception of several scenes in the final season, isn't too preachy. The characters are fairly well developed and their interaction credible. Enigszins 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 of the opvoering. She kan zijn strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
No surprise Oprah takes part in this great production! With its bittersweet ending, I was devastated that it's over but also at peace within myself for some reasons I could not figure out. I am moved on a spiritual level as you can tell:) I am sure everyone who has belief inside of themselves regardless of what it kan zijn, will feel the same way. Plus I can not go without mentioning the amazing voice ofwel Keith Davis, making his parts sound like a poem!
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.
