Jesus Is Real – And So Are His Disciples: Review of Season 1 of The Chosen

The Chosen is a superb historical drama television series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Season 1 was released in 2019. The series was created, directed, and co-written by an American filmmaker, Dallas Jenkins. It is a magical series – appealing to anyone who is interested in how life was lived in Jesus's time.

Set in Galilee and Judea, the story is about the beginning of the earthly ministry of Jesus, starting in A.D. 26. The Chosen is based on the true stories of the Gospels. However, some of the timeline and locations have been altered, and fictional characters have been added. Naturally, much of the dialogue has been invented, as well. But the historical context and artistic flourishes in the series have been designed by the creators of The Chosen to support the truth of the Scriptures.
