As a HUGE fan of The Chosen, the entire Season5 sadly... didn't meet the usual high standards of this wonderful (overall) production.
This part 3 of the Last Supper (3 episodes) were especially non-engaging and non-emotional for me.
*Scenes going back in time, the intent of production was to help us identify with each disciple in a unique way... I don't feel that was accomplished. No emotions were drawn.
*The back and forth between Last Supper and current events was unnecessary and took away the importance of the event and caused a major disconnect with the importance of the last supper between Jesus and his disciples.
*Lastly, the leading up to the Garden of Gethsemane as well as the experience in the garden was so elongated and non-emotional. Even some of the props, including the rock, didn't look real. Somehow, I was not able to work up any emotion about that experience, which was supposed to be intense, sad and stressful... I felt that the writing, directing, props, and even acting, wasn't producing any of those emotions in me.
If you want to go to the theaters to watch any part of this Season, I'd suggest the 2nd part. It was definitely worth it and was the only part of this Season that was well written and portrayed on screen, fulfilling the intensity of the temple confrontation and emotions.
Sorry to disappoint my fellow "The Chosen" fans... because I assure you, I AM one of the most avid fans of this entire series. I'm simply saying: Seasons 1-4 were superb! Season 5... didn't meet the previous, usual standard.
