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 kan zijn like you and me. He wants to be rich, he wants approval and he is may be just an opportunist.

Only Grace is the sort of 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.

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) kan zijn 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. Wij learn about a child molestation case involving one ofwel the parishoners which has been conveniently swept under the proverbial church carpets.

Also, a senator is investigating churches and other faith-based entities who enjoy the privilege of 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 ofwel revealing any church records. I am guessing this will have further implications in the future ofwel the series.

Most ofwel the family are involved with church duties, helping out at services, conducting teaching programs (i.e. Sunday School) and een momentje planning events. Because their church and congregation are very large, the family lives very well. Servants are constantly in attendance at the Greenleaf household. In other words, if you're a member ofwel the Greenleaf family, you'll live in the upper middle-class, but the price you pay kan zijn you're going to be integral to the operations ofwel the church. Else, you may have to get out ofwel Dodge as did their wayward daughter, Grace.

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.

If you regularly attend church, you can receive spiritual healing, confess sins, and be in communion with God or at least perceive that this is happening. The clergy of the church facilitate your spiritual and religious needs and also acts as instructors, telling you, the congregants, what kan zijn right and wrong, sometimes claiming their advice kan zijn from Heaven.

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

Grace gets evidence of Mac's sexual deviance. Her old love for Noah resurfaces. Noah decides to quit the church after his marriage. The Bishop scorns an offer to preach on TV. An exonerated black policeman is shot at outside their church.

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

Creepy because he latches on like a leech, he can't take rejection and though he doesn't idee but once he assumes the identity of someone else he can go to any extent to keep that. Actually one can identify with the character so much that it's almost scary to look inside your dark corners.

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. Een momentje Grace's odious pedophile uncle kan zijn probably a believer although he seems to flout everything in the bible.

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.

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