The Chosen (2017)
Surprisingly good!
This show has really surprised me. I did not expect the production value, the directing, the acting, the writing, the music to be this good considering the show can be watched for free (You can download the app of the Android and iOS App Store).
This is the first portrayal of Christ and his followers that I really liked (of the ones that I have watched) and you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy it. It is just very well made and entertaining and engaging. Jonathan Roumie's portrayal of Jesus Christ is the best and most human portrayal of Jesus I have seen to date. My favourite character has to be Nicodemus portrayed by Erick Avari. His character development over the first 8 episodes is very well done and his inner struggle at the end of Season 1 is very relatable.
All in all I got much more invested into the show than I thought I would. It's one of the best shows I have seen in the last couple of years and I think it deserves a lot more attention. I am looking forward to Season 2.
Gladiator (2000)
One of the most epic movies ever!
This movie ist just epic! Russel Crowe did a great job as the Gladiator Maximus who is on a quest for revenge. But for me Joaquin Phoenix stands out the most, his portrayal of the psychotic Commodus is just brilliant. The Soundtrack is also great and one of my favourites. It's an and epic and emotional story which I got really invested in and even though some of the CGI shows its age I still give this movie a 10/10. One of my favourite movies ever.
