The Chosen One

Millar's original core idea remains (it's one of my favorite books of his) but execution is all over the place.

Some performances are very weak, but it's understandable given how weird dialog and pacing are. Some dialog feels very unnatural and forced. Like the writer is trying to make a point as fast as possible instead of making characters get to the point by talking to each other like actual human beings. It feels rushed, desperate to get to a point not minding HOW it gets there.

Even though is poorly written, premise is captivating enough to get you attention, but that's all Millar, not the show-runners. Some characters are very likable (Tuka, Wagner), but other are very cartoon-y (pretty much every antagonist)

Cinematography is great.

Apparently the bigots are out for blood and give this show bad reviews for a few kissing scenes between two 13-year olds. Honestly some people Need to chill out! This was an excellent series, stellar acting and such a fascinating plot! Give it a chance and you'll like it or even love it! I didn't have many expectations when I started watching and now I'm so upset it's already over. I do hope the show gets renewed as the finale leaves a lot of room for a new storyline. Do yourself a favor, ignore all the nasty reviews and watch this series as you won't be disappointed, even gave me the chills.!

As an English speaker I don't often watch foreign language shows with subtitles, but I decided to give this one a watch. I'm glad I did. Sure, the dialogue, at times, was horrific and some of the effects were a little questionable. The story was pretty good, although mostly predictable. The young cast was able to portray emotion at key moments that caught me off guard and was really impressive. The ending was exceptionally well filmed and is worth watching all 6 episodes for. Except for the final moments which felt rushed and could almost been from a completely different series. I will definitely watch the next season if there is one, if only to see where they take the story next.

Sorry but this series is pretty poor in every way.

Even knowing that it is a fictional series, the events are not at all credible.

I found myself thinking if it were really possible this would be how the story unfold?

After half a dozen episodes I felt that the forward button is my best friend, and you don't miss much after all.

Maybe the kids enjoy this kind of series but for adults I think this is a comedy!

I saw Messiah and it was so much better than this one.

Well in my opinion this is a kind of series that in one year you will not remember that you saw it.

Well Netflix has these things!

I'm glad I ignored the low ratings. Probably people who didn't get past the first few episodes or have issues with the way religion is portrayed. But the acting was top notch and the story was engaging. The climactic scene gave me full-body goosebumps. Something I rarely remember experiencing from a show. And the twist had me reevaluating everything that came before. The last few minutes were weird, but that didn't diminish the impact of the story for me.

I am hoping there is a second season On the way to tie in some of the less fleshed out characters and concepts introduced. I'd definitely watch it!
