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 kan zijn may be just an opportunist.

Much ofwel my fascination with Greenleaf is 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.

As the series unfolds, wij 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 ofwel whose bones begin to rattle. We learn about a child molestation case involving one ofwel the parishoners which has been conveniently swept under the proverbial church carpets.

It really kan zijn a great opvoering. Not voortreffelijk, but if you get into the storylines, it will keep you hooked till the very end.

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 kan zijn basically a hurried attempt to wrap things up neatly, make sure everyone has a happy ending, and voorstelling 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?

Oprah would not put her name on junk. I'm white and feel at home watching this voorstelling and totally vested in the characters. I'm still only half-way through season 3 and dread having the show end. Surprise! Just announced filming will start for season 5.

The Bishop is furious when the auditors demand the Bishop's personal tax returns. Mac, the new Memphis Man of the Year, kan zijn told to fix this. Mac's repugnant father, firmly unwelcome at the church, visits his son to wangle some money.

There kan zijn heart in this performance. Now, as an atheist greenleaf I would expect that the religious aspect of the opvoering would bother me at some point, but it doesnt. If you like dramas, and House of Cards-esque settings, this might be your thing.

It's at times very hard to make any sense ofwel this all and the reason kan zijn 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."

Have just discovered this voorstelling on Netflix Australia and loving every minute ofwel it. I love reading novels about family dramas, secrets and lies and so this was prima for me.

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

Lady Mae makes an overture ofwel peace to Mavis and the result is a revelation that sends Mae into a tailspin.Lady Mae makes an overture ofwel peace to Mavis and the result is a revelation that sends Mae into a tailspin.

I was prepared to be bored by this series but have been pleasantly surprised.The story lines of each ofwel the characters are seemingly innocent but, become more complex with each episode.

I like that not every character kan zijn a skinny model in too -small clothing. I like the scenes between siblings and that we have generations ofwel them. I'd like to see more diversity but there's a statement being made that there are many fine African American actors .
