Greenleaf never once forgets that it is first and foremost a television show--and a soapy-sudsy one at that. But it is also an impeccably written and often beautifully envisioned family drama, reflecting a level of care and authenticity rarely seen in fictional stories about church life.

The big family doesn’t quite sort itself out in the first two episodes, with a second airing Wednesday.

I really enjoy this show. It really has some zingers in it. "They're like pigeons, these people. They just keep coming back, making noise." OMG, I could just die laughing.

My husband and I used to love the drama Greenleaf until they bought in H & H (WHY???) It seems to be taking a turn in a direction that we don't want to go. If H&H are still in the next season then you lost both of us. Very disappointed

Greenleaf packs a lot of plot into its first few episodes, building gracefully to revelations and confrontations, and playing to its actors' strengths.

Ms. Dandridge makes a positive impression as the show’s lead character and it helps that she has such strong support from Mr. David and especially Ms. Whitfield, whose character proves an effortlessly serene scene-stealer.

The tension between true worship and religious lip service gives Greenleaf an extra spark.

A soap that alternates between unartfully delivered exposition, provocative weirdness and real insight.

The drama that surrounds them is fairly familiar and hardly religion-specific. Greenleaf World Ministries needs more of the details that would make this more than just another soap opera.

I am really enjoying the new season! Charity is truly a "case" this season. Happy to see young new faces as well.
