Chosen

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

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.

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!

Many reviews on the show say it is bad not working accordingly and just hate all over it I'll make it as simple as that there is two reasons to watch the show.

1- If You're a fan of Milo Ventimiglia from heroes then U'll love the damn thing so much.

2- Secondly, if u want a change and a hint of adrenaline rush from excitement then this is the show for u If u are someone who watches the show just to find the extreme technicalities and love shows with super sleek scripts and classic editing and directing well I can't imagine why did u even come to this review :p (Joking).

Overall, It is a very short mini series each episode is like 20min , so not a lot of your time is wasted and as to me no time was wasted on this fine piece from crackle with that hint of excitement and adrenaline refresh, is definitely not a regret.
