The Chosen article archive
Links to all of my episode recaps, reviews, interviews, and other major articles about the hit life-of-Jesus series.
Below you will find links to all of my detailed episode-by-episode analyses of The Chosen, as well as links to some of my other major posts and articles about the series.
As of this writing, I have written detailed notes on every episode up to S3E8. (I also wrote very detailed notes on the ‘Last Supper’ sequences that began every episode of Season 5, but I have not written about the rest of that season yet.)
For the other episodes, where available, I have linked to posts of mine in which I gave my first impressions of new episodes or commented on specific scenes that had been released as sneak peeks. These are basically “placeholder” links; I will replace them with links to the full episode analyses as they become available.
This list also includes links to my reviews of The Resurrection of Gavin Stone and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever—two movies directed by The Chosen creator Dallas Jenkins that both happen to be about non-Christians acting in Bible-themed church plays.
For more of my writing about The Chosen and its universe—including many, many news updates and livestream reports—see the posts tagged here and here.
