If you’ve already binged through Everything Now and are eagerly awaiting the seventh season of Selling Sunset, don’t worry, there’s a hidden gem on Netflix that’s been leaving people emotionally moved and longing for more.
Although this series was originally released on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) in 2016, it has recently gained significant attention on Netflix. Viewers are passionately recommending it on social media.
Created by Craig Wright, the series revolves around the Greenleaf family, who run a megachurch in Memphis. Their lives are marred by greed, adultery, and other sins, both in their personal and business dealings, as the official Netflix synopsis for season one explains. By season five, the Greenleafs are grappling with the challenges posed by H&H as Calvary Church teeters on the brink of collapse. They search for a way forward while trying to heal the divisions of the past. The details in between are best discovered by adding the show to your watch list and diving in. You might want to start soon before spoilers inundate your feed and social media is filled with praise for the series.
Greenleaf first premiered nearly a decade ago, but it arrived on Netflix in 2018. Despite its age, the show has retained a dedicated following. Users are flocking to Facebook Groups, such as ‘Netflix Bangers’ by LADbible, to share their appreciation for the series. They are posting about their emotional experiences with Greenleaf, fervently endorsing it and even yearning for more.
One Facebook user shared a poster of the series with the caption, “If you haven’t seen this yet, WATCH IT!! This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stop watching it. I’m on the last episode, and it’s had me crying like a baby!”
Another enthusiastic viewer wrote, “The best series I ever watched on Netflix.”
A third fan chimed in, “Yes, I have watched this three times now, and yes, it’s very good. There are some sad parts, but overall, it’s excellent. However, I didn’t like the ending too much, and I wish there could be another season to see what else happens in this story. But I do recommend this, and I hope you enjoy it as I did.”
A fourth viewer expressed their optimism, saying, “**Edit because too many comments saying ‘there is no more it’s finished.’ I know, but we can have wishful thinking! ***” They stated, “Waiting on the next season. Not one season was bad in my opinion.”
Greenleaf seems to have captured the hearts of viewers and left them eager for more, even if there isn’t a new season in sight. It’s a testament to the power of storytelling and compelling characters in making a series memorable and emotionally resonant for its audience.
