This series, is beyond my scope to convey to you, that it is the most excellent, and Humanistic rendering of the earthly Ministries of the Son of God...his First Born,
....in this series, you are drawn in immediately, in that the actors and actresses', convey their characters, with such grit and humanity, with ALL their human flaws...no celestial halos...people...like and you and me. Christ called the 12 Disciples from everyday people...people with wives, with brothers, with mothers and fathers...with debts, with carrying on daily exercises that you would...working, feeding families, helping friends and neighbors, grieving at the loss of friends and families...and Jesus Christ...He is depicted in the ONLY series that I know, as a man...a human being, but with the fore-knowledge of his Celestial pre-existence sitting beside his Father, God Almighty, at His right hand.
He eats, he drinks, he sweats, he tires...he must exercise judgment and patience for His lambs...and this is the first ever taking in of the visuals of the Holy Scriptures...the New Testament, that I feel, I could sit at the feet of this 'man'...and receive his parables, understand his message, and absolutely want to be nurtured in my soul by Him...and only realize, perhaps after He gave up His blood, for us all...that I was being saved...and that he wanted in return, that by my lips...by my actions, as one of the 12 Disciples ,that I would save, in His name...
This is the ***BEST*** Christ Narrative that I have ever seen...I laughed with the Savior. I wept with the Savior and I was , 'in his presence' with the Savior, along with all the actors and historical characters they portrayed.
The actor who played the Christ, did a superb job, in that you not only knew he came, and was sent by God Almighty, but the REASON that God did it this way...to send the One, that cried with you, laughed with you, joked with you...on your level...never talking down to you....God sent his only begotten Son, to be amongst us...and this, called The Chosen....truly, truly makes you feel that you have opened a door to the Narrative, and slipped in....to be amongst them all, at the feet of the Savior....and for that, was being saved...
Amazing series, an amazing crisp production value...and did those behind The Chosen succeed? They certainly did, for this reviewer.
Watching the two seasons, I have never felt more close to my Christian (Catholic) Faith...as I have after watching all the superb actors and production staff, of The Chosen....bring my faith...to Life...
Thank you all, God Bless you all...and to the entire Production Staff, and to the Actors, each and every one....THANK YOU...thank you, and thank you...
