"The Chosen" offers a script that fills in, speculatively, the life situations of the first disciples/followers of Jesus. These scenarios and dialogue are organized around the scriptural accounts of the ministry of Jesus. As such, the episodes need to be understood as works of cinematic art rather than interpretations of the gospels. However, the storylines are fully compatible with biblical accounts. The visual aspect of the production is strong, with gritty environments and lighting effects that suggest the producers have consulted quite a bit of classic art, especially Baroque visual art (Caravaggio, Rembrandt, etc.). Acting is solid. Characters speak like real people, not actors pontificating scriptural quotations in overly formal ways.
