I have generally enjoyed The Chosen. Just now catching up with the latest season and finding some slow going. Almost the feel of one sequel too many. Not bad, just not the same standard. Peter's confession is definitely given a Catholic twist; Peter is the rock, not the confession. Interesting setting at the Gates of Hell.
Overall, the series that I have seen has been good, as you note, but needs to be watched with care and attention to Scripture, as does all human creative effort.
We love The Chosen at our house but we can relate to all your hesitations as well. And we are very slow with tv so we’re still working on season four. The two things that bug me the most are the sheer number of possessions everyone owns. Are they poor or do they have houses crammed with stuff? And, especially, I don’t think they would waste fuel the way they and everyone around them seem to. So many torches—sometimes during the day! Just kind of amusing. And, then, the pace is so very slow. I think this is partly a feature. But points where an entire conversation is held while a former fisherman ties a single tent knot? No. 😂. Minor quibbles, both!
The Chosen is, quite simply, my favorite TV show ever. Its depiction of Jesus' ministry feels as vibrant, surprising, and groundbreaking as it must have been 2,000 years ago. I am very glad to hear that you are finally getting into it.
