The Chosen - Der Auserwählte

Christian movies and shows aren't typically known for quality, good character development, or well-written, compelling stories. There are certainly some exceptions (e.g., The Passion of the Christ, I Can Only Imagine, Ben-Hur, I'm Not Ashamed, Faith Like Potatoes, The Case for Christ, and Narnia).

To cut straight to the point: The Chosen is far and away the best on-screen depiction of the life of Christ-either mini-series or movie. The writing and character development are exceptional. It's as captivating as The Passion, yet in so many ways more human and relatable. My family and I keep re-watching them just to get one more glimpse of the Son of Man. The miracles are deeply moving and will bring you to tears.

And now... the biggest problem is we'll have to wait for Season 2. The wait is going to hurt more than waiting for Stranger Things Season 3.

Love how human the Chosen are! Totally relatable in today's world and they could have been any one of us. Thank you for this wonderful peek into history. A devoted fan forever! #bingeJesus

This show is really well done. The story moves at a great pace, taking time to develop characters, but still moving the story along without feeling like it's dragging out. The historical accuracy of the time period is excellent. And the actors are wonderfully cast.

Well-written, well-cast, well-acted. So so happy this show exists.

This series is just phenomenal. It speaks to the soul and represents Jesus in a wonderful and relatable light. God bless everyone behind the scenes making this show! You are changing lives!
