Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a strong character drama. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
5 seasons: a few months of evenings, episodes of about 42 minutes, about 42 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

The unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, where scandalous secrets and lies are as numerous as the faithful. Born of the church, the Greenleaf family love and care for each other, but beneath the surface lies a den of iniquity—greed, adultery, sibling rivalry and conflicting values—that threatens to tear apart the very core of their faith that holds them together.
