Review of Chosen

Chosen (2022)
7/10
Decent enough Danish sci-fi
15 February 2022
Seventeen year old Emma lives in Middelbo, a town whose sole claim to fame is that it was hit by a meteorite seventeen years before. She works at the meteor museum until an incident leads to her being fired, it also leads her to question whether the 'meteorite' on show at the museum is even real. She gets involved with a group that has other theories about the nature of the incident seventeen years ago. Soon Emma's life is get distinctly strange and more than a little dangerous.

I thought this was a decent enough series; it is by no means a classic but equally it is far from terrible. It gets off to a fun start and once Emma has a good idea about the truth there is a good level of threat and some solid action Emma is a good leading character and the supporting group is solid too; if more than a little irritating at times. The self-proclaimed leader of the group is petty and childish most of the time; jealous that Emma is discovering things as soon as she joined while the others never really found anything. The cast is solid enough with Malaika Mosendane being likeable as Emma. Many questioned are answered by the end of the sixth, and currently final, episode but more are raised leaving scope for another season; if there is more I'll watch.

These comments are based on watching the series in Danish with English subtitles.
