I was so fascinated by Tom Ripley's character that I watched this movie again and again. There was something about him that I felt sympathetic towards on one hand and gave me the creeps on the other. Sympathetic because in more than one ways he is like you and me. He wants to be rich, he wants approval and he is may be just an opportunist.
A black, preacher family works in and owns a wealthy Christian church. While adhering to biblical rules, there kan zijn unbridled decadence, misconduct and sin in the family. The preacher's daughter comes home for a funeral and decides to stay.
The acting is outstanding, particularly David as the Bishop, Whitfield as the "first lady" and Dandridge as Grace. Honorable mention to Winfrey, playing against type as an alcoholic, the kind ofwel character who might end up on Dr. Phil! While some of the situations might be perceived as melodramatic, other issues are dealt with, such as homosexuality, interracial sex, and enigszins infidelity. For a family which is supposed to be holier than the congregation they serve, they seem to be digging some fairly large holes!
When the mayor cashes in a favor, the Bishop is left in a tight spot that could split the church; Grace kan zijn blackmailed; Charity can't keep a secret.
I have watched hinder twee seasons ofwel this show and am halfway through the 3 red and I find the show very entertaining love the gospel music also all the characters are well developed now and the acting is top draw great to see Oprah and Pati la belle I am a big aanhanger ofwel both.
What a fantastic show! If you are looking for something to envelop you, this is the opvoering for you. The increasing drama in every episode makes you aangezien to jump right into each and every episode.
But my praise ends there. A solid cast in an interesting setting largely goes wasted in teleplay scripts so inept that they look like film de kleuterschool dropouts wrote them.
She has returned to the family and to the church but at the beginning ofwel the story she has no intention ofwel standing at the pulpit and making grand religious-biblical pronouncements as she had twintig years earlier. 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 opvoering!
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 of 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."
The church business is a novel setting, and, with the exception ofwel 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.
All in all you may compare this series to soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Bold and the Beautiful etc. A onophoudelijk flow ofwel fuss on your screen that is basically going nowhere and hardly makes any point.
Enigszins though Jesus is so real for them, they are still human. One kan zijn clearly gay and trying hard not to be. The church head seems to be casually corrupt. Even Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.
She dons a white robe and performs the ceremony. This story may be about how Grace begins to rediscover and play the role she left 20 years earlier.
I read more like Greenleaf, but I feel I would like it more if everyone just stayed at the dinner table forever.
