Greenleaf is a television drama that premiered in 2016, starring Merle Dandridge, Keith David, Lynn Whitfield, and produced by Oprah Winfrey. It airs on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network and airs internationally on Netflix.The Greenleaf family runs the megachurch Calvary Fellowship World Ministries in Memphis. Run by family patriarch Bishop James Greenleaf, they seem to a loving, Christian family. Beneath it all, however, is familial tension and a history of emotional trauma. When Grace, the black sheep of the family, returns home after 20 years with her daughter Sophia, she’s determined to uncover the controversies her family has buried.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Parental Favoritism | |
| Greenleaf / int_88933ad4 | comment |
The Greenleaf parents, James and Mae are never physically abusive, but they tend to emotionally abuse and pin the siblings against each other by showing favoritism depending on the situation. Grace is the favorite of James, but Mae tends to ostracize her, blame Grace for things that aren’t her fault, and endorse other family members to gang up on her verbally. Mae also tends to push her own problems onto Grace rather than taking responsibility. James is better, but also seems to push Grace to do things she’s not interested in and puts a lot of pressure on her to follow in his footsteps. Jacob, as the only son, gets a lot of the pressure from James that he gives to Grace with none of the favoritism, and he’s essentially her replacement while she’s gone, unable to live for himself. When he wants to branch out, both his parents take it as a personal attack. Interestingly, he is the favorite of Mae, though she tends to baby him, and reacts theatrically when he goes against her wishes. Charity does not receive the ludicrous expectations of her siblings, nor is she explicitly The Un-Favorite, but seems emotionally neglected by both parents, since they each favor her older siblings. She tends to have any good news in her life overshadowed by her siblings problems. While it's not known exactly how her relationship with her parents was, Faith, before her death, had her sexual assault by Uncle Mac overlooked by her parents with no investigation. | |
