The Chosen One

This was an amateurish attempt from beginning to end. Actors didn't know how to play their pats, dialog was questionable and the story made little, if any, sense. The worst of the bunch was the female doctor. She smiled when she should have been looking serious and so on. Only reason I watched it to the bitter end was that it was less that 6 hours long. Next time though I turn it off immediately. NFLX needs to send a crew to Brazil and teach these guys how to make movies. In more expert hands this probably could have been a decent effort.

B4 I start a review let me say there are so many reviews that are I guess U.S.centric and I'm American. They need to come here abd learn how to make a thriller blah blah. From the same voices of U.S. shows that lament adnauseum about pc this pc that woke etc,hmm ok.But then this show gets bad reviews not going in hardly any of these directions plus it has a rather unique premise. A Chosen man, a healer in a land where Doctors are trying to at first bring vaccines for a mutated more fatal zika virus. But oh boy that's just the beginning. The acting is very good, the story is original and the setting is great. Season one is good and season two is even more interesting Binge when you can and enjoy this unique series. Netflix out did themselves.

An intriguing/entertaining/convoluted look at the human condition and what happens when one's pride/hubris takes over. Also a look at what happens when lust inspires disloyalty and unfaithfulness to one's partner. When I first started debating watching this show I didn't think I'd be hooked from the first episode. I'm very intrigued by the clash of religious fanaticism with the overzealous drs who all have their own motives and reasons for doing them and finding out that none of them are truly good, moral, upstanding people. Additionally, with current events being what they are, I feel this is very timely.

I was quite surprise that ppl gave it just 5 stars!!! thank god i didn't check ratings before watching, or else i wouldve missed out on this beautiful series. Every episode is unpredictable, it has so many twist and turns to the point u cant figure out wats coming next untill it happens Acting- photography- storyline .. all is 8/10

The first few episodes were really suspenseful to watch, but it eventually becomes over-done with all of the crazy things that happen. I am giving this a 5, because the acting is very good. The writing could have been worked on a bit more to cut out some of the fluff and get to the point. It just feels like you experience climax after climax, but then nothing ever happens except a lot more of the same old thing. I am on the last episode....so glad I am finally there!
