Southern Baptist here and we enjoyed The Chosen immensely. It’s not a show for Biblical snobs though.
I found seasons 1 and 2 of The Chosen both entertaining and inspiring.
It’s treatment of Mary Magdelene, however, is bound to fall short of the inspiring echo that her example has sounded through the centuries as the most magnificent example of human penitance, and unbounded love for and appreciation of and earthly devotion to God.
And of course, the actress playing Jesus’ mother Mary hasn’t the physical beauty and distinct appearance of youth that marks her as perfectly sinless and worthy of her future queenship.
Some, and I believe Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was aming them, have been inspired to the pious belief that the Blessed Virgin Mary was crowned Queen of Heaven immediately upon Christ’s magnificent Ascension into Heaven, even prior to the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Spodtles and Mary on Pentecost, by means of a miraculous bilocation, so much more would she then be prepared and strengthened to fulfill her remaining duties here on earth, nurturing her Son’s fledgeling Church. If true, what an inspiring gift that would have been, primarily to her, but also, by extension, to all of the other faithful souls in the Church Militant
