". I would never have been a follower of this uncertain, must ask the disciples how to deliver a sermon Jesus. It is not the Lord I know in my heart."

I have not seen it, and certainly your description is contrary to the Christ of Scripture. I am also alarmed about the type of alliance and level of spiritual discernment of the shows creator:

Dallas Jenkins, the creator of the most successfully crowdfunded series of all time, “The Chosen,” said...that he has friends who belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church), among them being the brothers who launched Angel Studios, the streaming platform behind “The Chosen.".."When I've talked about my brothers and sisters in Christ, and when I talked about those LDS folks that I know who loved the same Jesus I do, I'm referring to some of the friends that I have who identify as LDS who I've gotten to know very deeply over the last few years, in particular. And I've had hundreds of hours of conversations with [them], and I stand by the statement that those friends of mine that I'm referring to absolutely love the same Jesus that I do,” he said....The series writer and creator maintained that he has Mormon friends who believe in “Jesus of Nazareth, the Jesus of the Gospels, the Jesus that I’m portraying in the show, and I do believe and do stand by that statement.”
Jenkins further stressed that he alone is responsible for the content in “The Chosen” and is inspired by the Bible...In an earlier interview with Ruslan KD, Jenkins assured viewers that “The Chosen” did not receive any funding from Angel Studios or any religious organization. He maintained that while Angel Studios employs people who are Mormon, the company is only a "distribution partner," and "they don't actually fund it," he said. - https://www.christianpost.com/news/dallas-jenkins-clarifies-his-mormons-are-christians-comments.html

This is the first time a production not affiliated with the church has been allowed to use the Jerusalem set, an authentic re-creation of significant locations in the ancient city that roughly covers the area of a football field or two....“We found that we had the same goal in mind, which was to make Jesus known around the world,” the director said. - https://www.deseret.com/faith/2020/10/28/21515467/the-chosen-faith-utah-desert-film-jesus-lds-mormon-show-jesus-dallas-jenkins-covid-testing

“The Chosen” is distributed by partner Angel Studios, a streaming video company that was co-founded by brothers Neal and Jeffrey Harmon, who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints....Angel Studios raised millions through crowdfunding to fund the multi-season series about the life of Jesus Christ.

Mormons use the same words but have their own definitions.

You just have to drill down deeply to find out who they are referring to when they say Jesus, for example.
