benedictaaugustine Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Ah it’s sooooo good! I love it! I like how they take artistic liberty to expand on personalities and storylines in a way that is still pretty orthodox. I love that they hired a Protestant minister, catholic priest, and Jewish rabbi to be on their consulting board. I love how respectfully they’ve portrayed Mary so far and man, just seeing Jesus’s humor and kindness and joking around with the disciples is so good and healing. I also like that the actors all come from middle eastern descent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytherese Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I haven't seen it, but saw an episode of Jason Evert's podcast where he interviewed the actress who played the woman at the well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some of the reasons I love it: First and foremost it helps put me into that time period. It's cool seeing all the Jewish customs, the politics, the settings, etc. The diversity of the cast and the non-white Jesus seems more realistic to me. Even though the accents are sometimes not great, at least they are attempting some authenticity. It's not anti-Catholic. Even though it's created and directed by an Evangelical, the actor who plays Jesus seems to be a devout Catholic in real life. They also have advisors from different faiths (including Bishop Barron recently). It's not preachy. It's more like an actual show you might watch about any other subject. I enjoy seeing other people's take on how all the stuff not included in the Bible might have happened. It's stuff I often think about so it's cool seeing it presented in an artistic way--but still largely based on the research of scholars. Jesus smiles a lot. I like that.

tinytherese Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The Hallow app got the actor who plays Jesus on this show, Jonathan Roumie to narrate Gospel readings on their Audio Bible. https://hallow.com/2021/07/09/hallow-press-release-30-day-gospel-challenge-with-jonathan-roumie-from-the-chosen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 How long is The Chosen? It’s a series, right? (On my watch list but not seen yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(On my watch list but not seen yet) There are two seasons so far (they just started filming season 3), and each season has eight episodes. (In addition, there are two special Christmas episodes.) The episodes vary in length, but on average I'd say about 45 minutes each. I like The Chosen a lot. It's brought Jesus and the other people and events of the New Testament to life for me in a way unlike anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
