I understand what you’re saying. But I don’t think “The Chosen” is mixing Scripture with fiction. As I see it, it’s more like mixing Scripture with reasonable and respectful guesses.
One of my favorite scenes from that series is Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s Well. It’s very moving - and I think Scripturally sound even though it includes dialogue not found in the Bible.
Folks might disagree, and I certainly respect that.
