Our verdict
“A genuinely cinematic take on the Gospels, and it costs you nothing.”

The Chosen is the rare piece of faith media that competes on production quality with mainstream television. Its multi-season retelling of the Gospels is character-driven, well-acted, and shot with a cinematic eye that has earned it a global following far beyond the usual Christian-film audience.

Look elsewhere if

You want a broad catalog of movies and shows; The Chosen is one series, not a full library.

−Long waits can separate seasons on the release schedule
