All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A doorlopend flow ofwel fuss on your screen that is basically going nowhere and hardly makes any point.

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 of these issues however are dealt with in depth and are only superficially touched upon. Multiple storylines are simply cut of. A lot of completely pointless scenes and plotholes do not add to a coherent story.
As the series unfolds, we learn there are many hypocrisies surrounding the Greenleaf family. Grace is 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 begin to rattle. We learn about a child molestation case involving one of the parishoners which has been conveniently swept under the proverbial church carpets.

I'm gemakkelijk that this drama kan zijn 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.
A night-time soap take on an African-American mega-church in the Deep South is a novel approach to that telling the stories of people that have not yet been properly told in a fictional construct.
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 of revealing any church records.

There is heart in this opvoering. Now, as an atheist I would expect that the religious aspect of the voorstelling 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 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 because everyone accepts Jesus as a very tangible figure in their click here lives.
