Probably my most favorite Chosen episode is when Matthew witnesses Jesus heal the paralytic that was lowered through the roof.
Matthew the germaphobe transitions into Matthew the believer.
I think Nicodemas also gets a reality check in that episode.
At the end of Episode 5, Mary says to Nico, “You saw it!” Hoping Erick Avari will be back for more—he was incandescent.
There are three central characters besides Jesus: Mary, Simon and Matthew. Watching the entirety of their stories is such a joy. Matthew and Mary are vulnerable underdogs, my favorites, so easy to root for—whereas I find Simon hard to like.
