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've used IMDb for years, I've never once had the urge to write a review, or rate anything until now. The fact this doesn't have any votes yet, or any reviews blows my mind. That said, I'll keep it short and simple though, and please, spread the word about this amazing series and crackle for bringing it to us.

Chosen is a gripping, dark, and gritty series that not only keeps you in suspense constantly, it psychologically melts you and your emotions with every episode. As the plot thickens, your compelled to watch the next episode, and it feels like at any second a major plot twist can happen.

It's an on the edge of your seat ride that keeps you begging for more, and this is only the first season as the series aired just last week.

I cannot wait for season 2 to air, it's been a fantastic ride so far and I'm nearly frothing at the mouth to see what comes next, my mind is just filled with possibilities, which I normally never have with ANY TV series.

Fantastic Series, 10 / 10, loved it, and can't wait for more, you owe to yourself to check out Chosen.

Going into this mini-series I was somewhat skeptically, especially with the series being aired on Crackle. Boy, was I surprised. The series is well thought out and has the acting standouts (Milo Ventimiglia, Chad Michael Murray, Rose McGowan, Caitlin Carmichael) and production value to be expected of a series on a major network. I believe Chosen would attract those who enjoy thrillers, dramas and action-type series.

Speaking for myself, once I started watching the series this spring, I binge watched all 3 seasons (6 episodes in each) in the matter of 5 days. I haven't felt the this sort of anticipation since watching LOST years ago.

To anyone reading this review, I say give it a shot. Its a free series online and the time commitment is minimal. I think you'll enjoy it.

Here's hoping for more seasons soon!

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.

I really enjoyed the series, it was super fast paced and easy to watch, since each ep was only 20 minutes. The plot was interesting, but the ending seemed rushed, giving little to no explanation of why/who and how it all happened. I had rated it 9 and changed it to a 7 after the final episode

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!

I have to say this mini series is fantastic.May be some little parts of it copied and story seem a little bit Stereotypical but acting is fantastic and it will thrill you and force you to have more and more.I really recommend everybody to see this exciting series. Milo Ventimiglia is another reason that make this series worth to see. And other cast are really good too.You know this just make you watch every episode and say :Why this cast are not priced as they worth? the movie has a fast pace and gets you in the movie in first episode and don't let you stop thinking about it so :watch it! watch it!

yeah.just watch it to understand what am I saying!!!!

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.

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.

From a preposterous premise Ben Ketai and Ryan Lewis concocted a rather ho-hum suspense thriller. Without giving away much here, this is loosely based on a Twilight Zone episode, with a little of that Michael Douglas movie "The Game" thrown in for good measure - a connect-the-numbers kind of plot which lives mostly by Milo Ventimiglia's performance and a few necessary cliff hangers since this is really a movie chopped apart into six parts...eh, rather "gangster" in its set up and not believable. As "The Twilight Zone" has taught us all, the moral transformation of the key progenitor should matter more than the quasi-suspenseful machinations of the incredulous plot. If you care for some such structure, watch "The Booth at the End" instead.

Well, I have had Crackle on my list of video websites for ages but never really bother with it much at all when I simply stumbled onto Chosen and gobbled the entire 3 seasons in 2 daze of delicious horror of what would happen next. The series is as bizarre as a zombie movie, but the horror of The Game so well pulled off, that reality is left behind and you are pulled into The Horror of Being The Watcher, Horrified and Immediately Wanting More Blood.

Some of the prior reviews tried to say the show was 'off' because it could not happen in real life. Probably, let's hope! But this is fiction and entertainment and, let's face it, sex and violence sells to the base core of the American public and this one is horrible and yet makes you think and re-think as the story unfolds as to 'what-if' as you identify with the protagonist of the moment only to have him/her killed by the next turn of the corner. I am EAGERLY looking forward to Season 4 which has yet to appear!

Hats off to Crackle on pulling this off and it's a real shame it wasn't The Vehicle it needs to make waves and be a major video provider.

There's nothing like stumbling upon a hidden gem. Maybe your like me you've seen so many good shows what else could there be that could blow your mind or maybe your searching for an incredible show...well here it is. For FREE!

It took me awhile to find this gem because it's not on Netflix or Amazon or TV but crackle. But here's the great news. Crackle is free and this series has no commercials and minimal time commitment(3 seasons 6 episodes in each). This is as addictive as TV gets. Definition of binge but I must warn you it is very dark and violent. The suspense and intrigue are delicious and the drama and thriller aspect cause for a edge of your seat viewing experience. This is the best show you've never heard of period. Each season improves and the third is the best now imagine this the first is amazing!!! BTW renewed for a fourth coming soon. Enjoy Caio

Not too bad for a low budget TV Series.

The premise is interesting, but there is no real development, the series lacks any 'depth' whatsoever. It is overly simplistic, lacks in character development, so we don't really get to care about what happens to the various characters.

The performances are decent, but it is very visible that the script, the cinematography and the sound are all 'low budget'.

This could and should have been much better if the series had more 'substance' to the plot.
