[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 127927, member: 8"] Halfway season 2 now and I must say it's pretty good, they're not trying so hard anymore. The religion is there all the time but it's not really a religious soap - it's not about what they do, it's what they are. It's a way of life, and the actors (all very good) perform that life in a relaxed manner. Not that I agree with everything, but I don't have to. It's not my story it's theirs. I like all the Mass scenes, it's outrageously showy from a Catholic's point of view but GREENLEAF leaves it to the viewer what to think of it, and I think that's one of the show's selling points. This season has a new villain, and he's short and funny. Jacob Greenleaf is sort of a black Gary Ewing and he's still my favourite. And the First Lady, well she keeps on purring and she thinks she's the most dignified person on earth. A very entertaining character indeed. I wonder if [USER=27]@Daniel Avery[/USER] and [USER=3]@Jason73[/USER] have watched this series because I know they're watching the other Oprah soap THATHN. [/QUOTE]
