Weighing in quickly on The Chosen: the director really wanted to make sure he'd be bringing the Jewishness of Jesus to the show. So, although the show doesn't use the Hebrew names for Jesus and his disciples, there are Hebrew prayers and words sprinkled throughout, and at least one actor from Israel. Big thumbs up for me on that score.
I also find it does a great job of giving context for what we'd read in the gospel accounts. There's a multifaith group of consultants for the show, including a Messianic Jewish rabbi. When I've finished a season of the show, I love to hear the director and these consultants talking about choices made for each episode and whether he's done a good job dramatising but staying true to the context.
So I say it's well worth watching!
Since Season 4 is a bit delayed for streaming, I think I'll go back and watch from Season 1 again. It's free to watch online (with bonus content too) at watch.thechosen.tv
