Yup, I've seen all the episodes but it feels lacking imho. The Passion of the Christ is still the best out there. Superb acting that one. Even Prince of Egypt the animation is way better than this series.
The Chosen, for me, is quite lacking either in direction, script, acting or all of the above. But I still watch it... 😅 I even asked a director of another religious/catholic movie on Twitter and he said he would not direct an episode at all if given a chance. 😆 Might be I was asking the wrong person but at least I tried.
Anyway the Jesus actor is ok and Matthew's actor is great. I am still watching just to see what their interpretation of the story is. I even tried to watch the Christmas special but meh. Didn't even finish it. Oh well. Waiting on the next season.
While I agree that the I was not as impressed with the Christmas special, I have to agree to disagree on the production as a whole. The Passion of the Christ is an excellent depiction of what is in scripture. However, I think it follows the path of every other movie about Christ in that it de-humanizes Him. I have never seen another story about Jesus that shows him to be a real live person that others can relate to. I, too, and waiting on the next season.
