If you want to watch it, watch it! Just remember it is a Hollywood Production, and NOT Scripture, and you will be fine IMO.

1. your yelling isn't going to get anyone to change their minds....

2. Um... I bet to TOTALLY DIFFER!!! The Chosen is NOT a Hollywood production AT ALL! as a matter of fact, Dallas had to pretty much fight with them to let some of their actors play their scenes during the strike. They did because THEY weren't paying the actors, the public were.

Kind of funny to criticize someone for yelling and in the same post, yell yourself.

I wasn't yelling myself... but quoting him.

All caps is considered yelling. Has been that way for at least 30 years. Typing in a bigger font, is not. Though I agree with you using a bigger font doesn't sway anyone's mind, either.
And you can change their font manually, when quoting, if you want to use the time and effort. But seems pointless.

If you are eager to know Yeshua, and you really pay attention, (get beyond the artistic license) you see the story of Messiach, and the ones He chose to follow him. They "bring it to life" for me, so to speak. It helps me to understand what was going on at that time. That's what blesses me. and Thanks for asking... Cuz not only did I get inspired to work on my website, but I'm also going to do another binge watch of The Chosen again! Thanks!

I liked the portrayal of the Romans- although I did almost spit my coffee when the Captain tells Matthew "SAY YOUR LAST PRAYER, JEW!!!" I thought that was cartoonishly over-the-top.
The Praetor rules with fear- but he's not a bloodthirsty maniac, and he's seems to be attempting to do good government.

I really liked the part with Peter and the centurion repairing the well together- NOT CANON but good, very symbolic lore.

Matthew is my favorite character. His encounter with the elder-Jew is also very good, symbolic lore.

John the Baptist's portrayal as "Creepy John" seemed awkward; but, whatever.

I think they did a decent Job with the pharisees; except they might have taken too much liberty with the Jesus& Nicodemus encounter. Seeing the pharisees trying to rebuke Jesus for MIRACLES on the sabbath is even more frustrating than reading about it... they probably wouldn't have complained if he miracled the Romans into outer space.

Oh- and the flashback to Jacob where his gentile visitor is perplexed about Jacob's relationship with God- that is the best part.
