Sunday, June 19, 2016AMC/?HBO variety, but it is a good soap, closer in tone to, say, “Nashville” than the campiness of “Empire.”
The story begins as disillusioned preacher Grace “Gigi” Greenleaf (Merle Dandridge, “The Night Shift”) returns home for her sister’s funeral in Memphis, Tenn. Grace’s father, Bishop James Greenleaf (Keith David, “Community”), welcomes her home like she’s the prodigal daughter. Her more aloof mother, Mae (Lynn Whitfield), gives a chillier reception.
“Promise me you’re not here to sow discord in the fields of my peace,” Mae seethes.
It takes three episodes — airing over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday nights before the show settles into its regular 10 p.m. Wednesday weekly time slot — to fully understand the gist of the past crimes that Grace attempts to investigate. But even in the first episode it’s clear that they involve Grace’s Uncle Mac (Gregory Alan Williams), whose sister, barkeep Mavis (recurring guest star Oprah Winfrey), sets things in motion when she confides in Grace, who takes it as her mission to seek justice.
“Greenleaf” creates the world of Calvary Fellowship, a megachurch run by Grace’s father that also employs her brother, philandering Jacob (Pittsburgh native Lamman Rucker), and her sweet but oblivious sister, Charity (Deborah Joy Winans, “Whitney”). The family talks faith at a dinnertime conversation in the pilot episode with brittle, scheming sister-in-law Kerissa (Kim Hawthorne, “Rake”) questioning Grace’s devotion.
TV often ignores faith because bringing up religion only causes headaches for showrunners and networks (see: reactions to ABC’s 1997 drama “Nothing Sacred” or ABC’s 2012 comedy-drama “GCB”), but it’s a natural part of life for many Americans and ought to be acknowledged. “Greenleaf” addresses religiosity in a specific way in its first episode that’s not as daring as “Nothing Sacred” but still mo...
