O Eleito

The Chosen One (el elegido) The Mexican series based on the American comic by Mark Millar consists of a total of 6 episodes. It follows the story of a 12-year-old child who discovers they possess powers akin to Jesus Christ. What will happen in their life?

In summary, this series is a brilliantly crafted adaptation from a comic, featuring a storyline with intricately developed characters much like a Mexican version of Stranger Things. Every actor delivers an impressive performance, and the narrative unfolds in a unique and captivating way, filled with excitement and complexity that persists even in its conclusion. Highly recommended not to be missed, especially for fans of the writer Mark Millar.

I'm not sure why the review score is so low but this tv series was amazing. I went in with zero expectations and came out wanting a season 2. I have never written a review but this definitely deserves one in hopes more people discover this gem on Netflix.

I gave it a 9/10 only because I wished it was a bit longer( which is a good thing). The ending sets up for a possible second season and the story definitely would be amazing as it was in season one. The characters are likeable and don't make any stupid decisions. There is no modern day politics or agendas just a great story with a great cast.

As an English speaker I don't often watch foreign language shows with subtitles, but I decided to give this one a watch. I'm glad I did. Sure, the dialogue, at times, was horrific and some of the effects were a little questionable. The story was pretty good, although mostly predictable. The young cast was able to portray emotion at key moments that caught me off guard and was really impressive. The ending was exceptionally well filmed and is worth watching all 6 episodes for. Except for the final moments which felt rushed and could almost been from a completely different series. I will definitely watch the next season if there is one, if only to see where they take the story next.

Apparently the bigots are out for blood and give this show bad reviews for a few kissing scenes between two 13-year olds. Honestly some people Need to chill out! This was an excellent series, stellar acting and such a fascinating plot! Give it a chance and you'll like it or even love it! I didn't have many expectations when I started watching and now I'm so upset it's already over. I do hope the show gets renewed as the finale leaves a lot of room for a new storyline. Do yourself a favor, ignore all the nasty reviews and watch this series as you won't be disappointed, even gave me the chills.!

I'm glad I ignored the low ratings. Probably people who didn't get past the first few episodes or have issues with the way religion is portrayed. But the acting was top notch and the story was engaging. The climactic scene gave me full-body goosebumps. Something I rarely remember experiencing from a show. And the twist had me reevaluating everything that came before. The last few minutes were weird, but that didn't diminish the impact of the story for me.

I am hoping there is a second season On the way to tie in some of the less fleshed out characters and concepts introduced. I'd definitely watch it!
