3/5
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. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 07/05/2024

They feel like real friends with lived-in relationships, and they each get enough screen time for audiences to empathize with their struggles. Go to Full Review Hernán Ferreirós La Nación (Argentina) 08/22/2023

As often happens with adaptations whose creators aspire to renew contracts for several seasons, everything moves at minimum speed... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator 08/19/2023
Though it gets off to a slow, slightly messy start, this is a series with bags of charm, some delightful performances, a gripping plot and lots of local colour. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 08/17/2023
The Chosen One takes a bit of time to get to the heart of its premise, but the ride there is made easier by the chemistry between the members of the friend group and between Luhnow and Agron. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mar S 11/27/2024 It starts off with great promise, the cinematography is beautiful, the lingering pace helps build up the anticipation of what’s to come. Unfortunately, as you watch each episode, the pace continues at the slowest possible, the character development stalls, the storyline starts to get confusing and the last five minutes absolutely ruin the entire season. It’s as if the producers tried to do too much. This could have been a great show, but it’s all over the place and the end is such nonsense I wish I had never watched this show. See more Peter K @Vacadoug 06/06/2024 Beautifully filmed, amazingly well-acted by a remarkable cast; this was definitely worth the watch! For a Christian this might rankle some and inspire many more. See more james o 03/31/2024 the tv adaptation of american jesus brings miracle to the fan. See more Pete W 09/17/2023 This was such a slow series and the first episode didn't really draw you in to any resemblance of a storyline. The first episode was brutally slow and the only thing that saved it was its so so cinematography. The cast and acting were great and it had a lot of potential but it drags out far far far far too long. It's disappointing and I wish I had that time back See more Kaio L @Kaiolf 08/28/2023 Um seriado que não promete nada e entrega tudo!!! Nice série!!!! See more Chalearmchai U 08/25/2023 I'd recommended this such a interesting concept and location. Kinda get bored of US set sometime, this is new and a bit weird in a good way. The downside will be Love scene with involved kids... They not even in highschool yet so it kinda disturb to watch See more Read all reviews
