Chosen

The concept was interesting and I have watched simlair shows and movies using it! However this show has so many flaws it reduces the entertainment value greatly! I can accept one or two as poetic liscence for the good of the story but the flaws in this show come so hard and fast it makes it difficult! One of the many but one that kinda stood out as crazy was when his daughter was abducted and he was beaten and had his hands tied and they shot is car tyre as they left,not only did Milo manage to change his tyre with both hands tied together but he also managed to drive his car many miles back to his wife's house with his hands closely tied! I mean come on that is so ridiculous! The flaws continue but I will let you watch and choose your own favourite ones! The other negative is why they chose to make each episode so dam short 15-20 min in length is an absurdly short episode ! I am presently on episode 5 the suspense has long gone due to the poor writing. I am basically watching as I am interested to see how they plan to end the show not going to hold my breath that it will be a good one as the show itself is not but I am curious.

I was bored at work when I stumbled upon this fantastic little series. I was expecting next to nothing from this. Mostly hoping to kill some time with anything that was moderately interesting. But, was pleasantly surprised. Ended up watching the whole series in one sitting.

Didn't care for his acting in Heroes, but, he plays the part well here. Short, quick, and exciting. Always leaves you waiting for the next episode.

Definitely hope crackle starts pumping out some more free shows of this quality. Lets get some fanfare for a SEASON 2!!!!

10 out of 10

I cannot believe that they canceled this series. I have been avoiding this show for years because of the low rating and bad reviews. However I am running out of things to watch so I decided to give it a shot and boy am I glad I did! The storyline is superb, the FX are good, and the acting is decent. There are a few parts that the actors failed to deliver a perfect performance but all in all the acting was just fine. I truly hope that the network decides to bring it back. With this style of a show they could plug in different actors at any time and make it work. Anyway I just love this show! PLEASE CRACKLE BRING IT BACK!

As I live outside of the US, I had no idea this was a series. I watched it as a movie and, as such, it was one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Milo Ventimiglia holds it all together. I predict future acting awards for him. The supporting actors also do well. The story will pull you in from the very beginning.

Briefly, those chosen must perform for the watchers, who, apparently, have the god-like ability to know all and see all. We are never really informed as to who the watchers actually are, only that they use a system of cameras to watch those chosen murder for their amusement. If there is a weak point, it is accepting the power of the watchers.

This film may slip under the radar, but it should not. If you have not seen the series, watch this film. I rarely rate films this highly, but, trust me, this one deserves it.

Fast, fast, fast paced. Gripping. Thrilling. Loaded with moral ambiguity. While some complained about "unanswered questions" I like the fact they didn't spoon feed everything to the viewer, and we were left to wonder about the back-story. I find this more satisfying than inserting a random scene where some "villain" explains everything to the "hero" in some long-winded soliloquy. Not particularly violent, surprisingly. Very little sex: you have to be really attentive and looking for any nudity, to see it :). I also thought it was all well structured, very well filmed, and the seasons tie together brilliantly. I tried to keep my review quick and snappy as well, though this was my 10th line.
