Greenleaf

2016–2020 · 5 seasons

A slow-burning family saga of faith and hypocrisy, where polished church politics hide simmering resentments and moral compromises.

Tagline: Faith and fury.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Tense, melancholic, dark and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, faith, power, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
