Sonny J @RT04138644 08/21/2023 Absolutely fantastic! Two thumbs up! See more Johnny W @RT63372507 02/22/2023 Good story, great acting, and the 38,000 square feet house is quite a setting for much of the soap. What I'd like to see is some element, represented by a character who is anti-religion, soberly, and not via "sinning", and who es religion per se as the magical thinking that it is. See more 09/13/2021 I was expecting so much, but it's a very stilted, very cliched first five episodes. The acting is stilted. The settings over the top and the actors look ill at ease, like they are waiting for their cues. I don't know who this series will appeal to, but it is not my cup of tea. See more 09/20/2020 I don't like the way this series depicts the church. This show makes the church seem like it is nothing but a mafia, and that ALL pastors are preaching for money. Being a pastors daughter I don't appreciate this depiction especially because there are a TON of pastors out there that work hard to grow their churches. See more 01/26/2020 I really loved this show for the most part. I watched all the episodes. My problem with it was the white racial slurs that are woven throughout. If the shoe had been on the other foot there would have been all kinds of upheaval about how racist this show was. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been so racist. See more 02/03/2019 eenleaf is a great program about a black Christian family well set (read: rich) who are struggling with self esteem issues, life and death, morality, a sense of duty, betrayal, trust, money vs what matters, righteous values vs material wealth and infidelity. It also deals with the very taboo topics I n.v the black community such as domestic violence, spousal abuse by men to women AND the reverse, pedophilia from fathers to daughters and rape that is written off as consensual. The show features many great actors and actresses known in black Hollywood and the Christian singing world. O am purposely not giving names to anyone; watch for yourself. I just completed the final episode of season 3 and my wife tells me there will be a new season late winter 2019. It has unanswered questions and unresolved issues that I hope will be addressed in season 4. This show was great overall but i could have had it simply be about black family life as an inspiration to many of us who don't get to see a United family. This isn't to say there aren't great moments because there are PLENTY of great black love moments. I was pleasantly surprised at how respectful this cast was shown to be-something our people are not shown to be on MOST TV and film programs. Watch it and don't tell anyone unless they have seen the whole thing. Great work; I give it 4 out of 5 stars. ((At djjfreedomlives on IG, TW & FB) See more Read all reviews
