Synopsis

6 Episodes. Jodie, a twelve-year-old boy in Baja California, suddenly discovers he has Jesus-like powers: he can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead! As the Evangelical and the Yaquí leaders in town try to get him to use his powers to save mankind, all Jodie wants to do is impress the girl he likes and stand up to his bullies. As Jodie struggles and eventually comes to terms with his destiny, everything gets thrown for a loop when he realizes he discovers the truth around his identity. Adaptation of the comic American Jesus.

Critics' reviews

"Instead of being dense with spirituality, 'The Chosen' takes the stance that the story of Jesus involved real and fallible characters. And that is what makes the show an entertaining story instead of a didactic narrative."

Joel Keller: Decider
"Gorgeously shot and featuring a stellar young cast, 'The Chosen One’s' friendship dynamics are instantly charming and compelling — but its supernatural elements take a while to warm up (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Sophie Butcher: Empire
"'The Chosen' offers its fair share of Judeo-Christian-based biblical teachings. But it also offers a well-produced, substantive story world that goes beyond mere proselytizing.

Melissa Camacho: Common Sense Media
