I basically can't even with this show.
If you follow The Chosen on social media, even if you haven't watched season 2, you know that it ended with the Sermon on the Mount. It did NOT disappoint!
Actually the whole season was incredible.

I love how this show stays true to Scripture, while still using current best practices in telling a story—the most important story of all. I love how an episode on just a few verses (Ep 2), sent me to the Bible to see what the Word had to say.
I love how Jesus continues to be portrayed as fully human and fully God.
I love how the disciples are being portrayed as people with different personalities, so that it's easier to remember who is who and maybe get a glimpse of what it was like to be the first to follow Jesus. Seeing their real struggles, both personally and inter-personally, adds such weight and dimension to what is going on.
I love the humor of the show. (Jesus and Quintus in the same room!?! WOW!)
I love the beauty of it, from the effects to the bright colors.
I love seeing a portrayal of what these famous events (like miracles, the sermon on the mount, etc) could have looked like. I love the moments when I realize what is happening.
I love the tender moments, the teaching moments, and even the hard moments between Jesus and His followers.
I love the insights into Jewish culture, like the prayers and Mary Magdalene teaching Ramah how to read. Since I am also learning Hebrew, it was cool to see her teaching the alphabet to her, and me realizing I knew what she meant!
Basically, I LOVE this show!
I'm still trying to figure out what my favorite moments were from Season 2, because it was just so good. I definitely need to #bingeJesus soon.
What about you? Have you seen The Chosen yet? It is the first-ever multi-season series based on the true stories of the Gospels of Jesus. Let me know what you thought in the comments below! And if you haven't seen it yet, you need to #comeandsee! It is worth it!
