The Chosen
Growing up, I saw and enjoyed the movie Jesus of Nazareth. I thought The Chosen would be the same kind of story so I assumed it had nothing new to offer. I assumed wrong.
The Chosen is a Christian TV series. It is a detailed account of the life of Jesus Christ. The chosen has two seasons so far, each season consisting 8 episodes. Each episode runs for at least 30 to 64 minutes. It tells the story of a life of Jesus Christ. It is the only account of Jesus that has been related in an episode based multi-season version. The series is created by an American film maker Dallas Jenkins. Jenkins also happens to be the director and a co-writer of the series.
Jenkins tells the story of Jesus through the eyes of people who had contact with him and also followed him.
You can watch The Chosen TV series free of charge on the designated App; The chosen. The show is also available on a number of streaming platforms. The series was produced with the help of crowd funding and there will be a need for addition help because the series is intended to be a seven season series.

The Chosen has raised so many questions as to whether the story is a true account as it is written in the bible. I think the creator has tried to portray the story to give the modern day people a clearer picture and a better understanding of some of the stories in the bible. The aim of the creator does not seem to be defeated as many people continue to stream the series every day. The number of people who have downloaded the chosen app has since risen over 100 million.
