Have just discovered this show on Netflix Australia and loving every minute of it. I love reading novels about family dramas, secrets and lies and so this was perfect for me.To the cast and crew, keep up the great work.

Whomever written this script has some issues,not sure what its trying to portray,nobody is perfect but this is a house of i-morality and low ethics perceived with so much lightness ,the scenes that they think are getting the popularity are actually killing this show,fix your own issues first!

This show had all the potential needed for a great series: a secretive family with all it's flaws, the hypocrisy embedded in religious circles etc. But bad writing combined with one-dimensional characters put it at risk. I only watch it to gorge on Keith David and I am a sucker for gospel music. Being gay I hoped that the gay character in the show would be someone to relate. But alas! You will have to look harder to find a more one deimentional a character. The gay love scene we have so far seen is laughable. How disappointing! So dishonest! If a gay character is to be believed and be authentic, he/she has to "do" something! What, are supposed to take the producers word for it? Reminds you the gay character from Melrose Place. It is so symptomatic of the fear of anything gay that permeates the black production community. Be bolder, dammit! If the actors can't go "all the way", find gay ones!

So I just finished watching this show known as green leaf and this show was based on black Christianity and hypocrisy and corruption. This show tackles religious issues like rape and money drama and so much more especially with the gay community. As a black atheist who used to be a Christian it was hilarious to watch. This show while promoting black Christianity funny enough the opening to the show shows that Christianity and slavery went hand-in- hand and even went as far as to show the slave ship that many slaves were on because of the Atlantic slave trade and the beginning of Christianity. And now when you mix both the opening to the show to the actual show together it kind of seems like it's showing the truth all- in-one with slavery and Christianity being hand-in-hand, but then also showing how black people are so strongly religious because of this slavery to begin with which I find is insanely deep. So if you are still and Christian and you're an African American I say wake up. But if I had to rate this show I would give it a 6/10.
