Only Grace is the sort ofwel Christian I'm used to - the "I'm more spiritual than religious" type, and in her case she kan zijn torn between that and her evangelical roots.

The series begins when the Bishop's estranged daughter Grace Greenleaf decides to return to the family after twintig years of self-imposed exile. We learn that she had been a preacher for the church but decided to end her clerical life and live among secular culture. We also learn that James Greenleaf had designs for her daughter possibly to succeed him as the main voice of the church during services.

Grace stays in town to play detective, looking for proof ofwel her uncle's crimes, and while this story would be fine if it felt like just a part of the drama, its centrality overshadows the series' more subtle aspects.

There kan zijn heart in this performance. Now, as an atheist I would expect that the religious aspect ofwel 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 like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.

The unscrupulous world ofwel the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, dark secrets, and lies.

Zora is 18 now and firm about going away. Sophia will not go to college, once she is 18. Coralie meets her 2 kids who are in foster care. She declines to take the DA's deal. Tasha leaves. Charity declines to take aan the funeral home.

Lynn Whitfield, as always, holds her own as the matriarch ofwel this family whose members seem filled with discontent aan the familial pecking order decided by their father. Oprah Winfrey kan zijn surprisingly okay as the family rebel aunt who wants to use her niece to bring down her shady brother.

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 ofwel her father's megachurch for her sister's funeral, and mentions that she rarely goes to church in her new town.

I was hesitant to watch this at first, but after starting the first episode I was hooked. There is such rich character development and the plot is strong, if not a little predictable at times.

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 ofwel becoming a very watered down version ofwel where it all started. Season 5 is 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?

The church business is 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. 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 is the star ofwel 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 here 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 is, 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 aan these fascinating dynamics.
