Hello Fans of The Chosen, Well, I have found one who is checking it out so thought I'd give us a start to this blog. The first episode of this amazing series is a backstory for Mary Magdelene leading up to the moment when her life is touched forever by Jesus. Mary is lost, suffering from demonic possession and living life as a prostitute. We are also introduced to Matthew, the Tax Collector. I love how Matthew is portrayed on this show. A young man gifted in numbers far beyond his years. Very smart. Determined. And the way he is depicted makes it seem a bit like he is someone who has Asperger's. Does the Bible say this about him specifically? Well, no. But a scenario like this for Matthew makes sense to me and the young Actor who plays him in the show is incredibly endearing. We are introduced to Simon and Andrew, two brothers who are fisherman. Simon is married to Eden, Simon's wife. And Nicodemus, the Pharisee. The first episode is, admittedly, a bit dark as we learn about Mary Magdalen's time before she was touched by Jesus. But stick with the journey through this series and you will find yourself laughing, smiling, maybe even shedding a few tears along the way, but overall, it is a glorious experience. My favorite episode of Season 1 is actually Episode 3, btw. Simply titled "Jesus Loves the Little Children". This page is being created to provide a place to chat about Season 1. If more people would like to play along, we can do episode by episode pages but for now since there are so few, we can just use this one page. We will see what happens. Season three is supposed to be released in November. I think I shall rewatch the first two seasons before this happens. Anyone care to join me?
