"The Chosen": One Unexpected Pleasure

[dutchal]

As you may know, this is a series portraying the life of Jesus.  It began as a crowd funded project.  I watched one of the first episodes a couple of years ago, about the birth of Jesus, and thought it was terrible.  I got talked into watching a recent episode from the current season 4.  It was much better, although still not Oscar nomination material, to say the least.  It's interesting to see how they take the basic Biblical text and fill in backstories, additional dialogue, and other missing details.  I was startled, however, to find that the character of Simon Peter, played by Shahar Isaac (a NYC based Israeli actor), is sizzling, smoking hot.

Definitely a sizzle. I agree.

I tried the first episode and couldn't get into it.  I meant to try another because I had heard so much about it but never got around to it.  The director/creator, however, is right up my alley. I look forward to seeing his "Best Christmas Pageant Ever" movie next month.
