The best ofwel 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.

Enigszins before she's stepped back into their house, Lady Mae tells Grace "not to cause trouble for their family". Zing. Wij know this reunion ofwel Grace with the Greenleaf family is going to cause trouble. Of course if there wasn't trouble, there wouldn't be a performance!
I like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
If you can't find anything better, just check it out for yourself. Just don't expect a fantastic story filled with an interesting plot, great dialogues and scenes. It's mediocre at best. Two seasons was doable for me.

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. Eventjes 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 show. She kan zijn strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
But the scripts have to get better. They need to be outlined better and the dialogue needs to be more subtle in relaying information as well as doing so in a natural manner in which real people speak. So far they have tried to cram too much information in each sentence

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 is basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and show a lot of "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?
Grace stays in town to play detective, looking for proof of her uncle's crimes, and while this story would be fine if it felt like just a part ofwel the drama, its centrality overshadows the series' more subtle aspects.
Much of my fascination with Greenleaf kan zijn that, for me, a white, big- city atheist, this world kan zijn 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.
