TV show description:
This dramatic series revolves around the unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch. Scandalous secrets and lies are as numerous as the faithful.
Born of the church, the Greenleaf family love and care for each other. However, beneath the surface lies a den of iniquity — greed, adultery, sibling rivalry, and conflicting values. This threatens to tear apart the very core of their faith that holds them together.
The Calvary Fellowship World Ministries is headed by Bishop James Greenleaf (Keith David), a charismatic and manipulative leader. His wife, Lady Mae (Lynn Whitfield), stands by his side and is the matriarch of the church and their family.
Jacob Greenleaf (Lamman Rucker) is a ne’er-do-well and the eldest son. He’s married to ambitious and controlling Kerissa (Kim Hawthorne) and they are parents to daughter Zora (Lovie Simone).
Grace “Gigi” Greenleaf (Merle Dandridge) is the estranged middle daughter. She’s returned home after 20 years following the mysterious death of her sister, Faith. Grace’s teenage daughter is Sophia Greenleaf (Desiree Ross).
The Bishop’s youngest daughter, Charity Greenleaf-Satterlee (Deborah Joy Winans), is the church’s Minister of Music. She’s married to Kevin Satterlee (Tye White).
The owner of a blues club, Mavis McCready (Oprah Winfrey) is Lady Mae’s sister and Grace’s close confidant. Robert “Mac” McCready (GregAlan Williams) is Lady Mae’s brother.
Noah Kendall (Benjamin Patterson) is the estate manager of the Greenleaf mansion. He’s engaged to Isabel (Anna Diop), a teacher. Melisse (Terri J. Vaughn) is the estate’s chief housekeeper.
Episode #60 — Behold
Grace and the Greenleaf family must lay the past to rest once and for all as God’s plans for the future unfold.
First aired: August 11, 2020.
What do you think? Do you like the Greenleaf TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a sixth season?
Renew it! Please!! As soon as the last episode ended, I felt sad, like I’m going to be missing part of my family!! Even though I’m not black, I loved it! All families have problems, struggles, unscrupulous people in them, it was interesting to watch how they handled things!! Watching this family and how they handled them was not only entertaining but at times inspirational!!
I loved all the characters!!
Bishop should not die! He is too much of an intricate character in the total plot. Kill him and you kill the show!
The show should continue, with Bishop, showing how we “fall down but we get up” as Charity did Tuesday night. August 4, 2020. We have all fallen so now, get up!
