I haven't watched The Chosen, but given how people are describing it here, I'm going to strongly recommend Dorothy Sayers' serialized radio play "The Man Born To Be King."
Most adaptations of the Gospels make Judas an evil caricature of a human being. Sayers' Judas strikes disturbingly close to home, leaving one with the thought "There but for the grace of God go I."
Every one of the characters in her adaptation feels plausible and real. Whatever you think about the Gospels' historicity, I think it would be hard to read these plays and not understand why so many people try to follow Jesus, even today.
