The Chosen series is fantastic, but their Christmas Special in the theaters was horrible unless you’re into that music. I felt like a prisoner forced to watch 90 minutes of lip syncing to really really really really really yeah yeah really repetitive pop. Not a single instrument or vocalization that was shown on screen was real. 100% studio music with people pretending to sing and play on camera. Dallas Jenkins owes me 90 minutes of my life back for that. And it wasn’t just me. Everyone in our group felt the same.
Then when the music/torture was done they showed an episode of The Chosen, which was nice of them. We liked that part.
Personally I enjoyed the Christmas special and while it was mostly a repeat of last year I can see this being an annual tradition for our family.
That said, the overwhelming consensus is that The Chosen trailer for Season 4 was by far the best part of the Christmas Special this year.
Enjoy
I have not seen the Christmas special, but over the last two weeks, I binge-watched the first three seasons, just finishing up last night.
I liked it. I thought all of the actors did a great job. We can’t know all of the details of what happened 2000 years ago, but the scriptural parts were there, and, I thought, well done. I will watch the next season.
My favorite actor, other than the actor playing Jesus, was the actor playing Matthew.
Reading the backstory of how the production was conceived, promoted, and executed, well, it’s almost a miracle in itself.
