Jonathan & Jesus (2024)
A Must See!
Fantastic docuseries about the blessings and pressures of playing Jesus. This series documents the journey of actor Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus, the most famous man to walk this planet in the series The Chosen.
From his humble surrender to God asking for guidance, his acceptance of the role in The Chosen, to his visit with Pope Francis, the series shows a side of fame that few actors have achieved. How do you maintain your identity when many people actually think you ARE Jesus Christ?
Roumie's care and concern for playing this important role weighs heavily on him, and the series does a great job of illustrating just what it's like for a man go from struggling actor to being mistaken for the actual Son of God. A devout Catholic, Roumie exhibits his devotion and passion for his faith while also learning and praying for people of all denominations.
Filled with interviews from historians, religious experts and even Alice Cooper, the series is both entertaining and moving as it follows Roumie from place to place all around the world as he promotes The Chosen.
You don't have to be a fan of The Chosen to thoroughly enjoy the journey of a "regular guy" learn and grow as he is recognized more and more, not as himself, but as Jesus Christ.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)
Funny, Charming and Brilliant
If you're looking for something to binge watch, and you need a good laugh, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is perfect!
This ensemble cast will make you laugh out loud and will leave you wanting more! Three seasons have been aired, and you'll find yourself craving more.
Perfectly depicting the 1960's New York City Jewish community in a comical, yet respectful way, Mrs. Maisel will teach you more about the NYC of the early 60's than you ever thought you'd learn.
It's a comedy with true substance, and brilliant writing and acting. You'll find yourself watching it more than once!
Enjoy!
The Chosen (2017)
Just WOW!
This is not your typical religious story! So beautifully filmed and brilliantly scripted, this show is a ground-breaking chronology of Jesus and his disciples depicting them as REAL people and not over-zealous, overly pious people who you really can't relate to.
The acting is absolutely phenomenal and each character brings you to tears at one point or another as the story progresses.
You don't have to be religious to enjoy this story, but if you are you'll be blown away by the feelings the amazing script brings to each scene.
This project is an amazing gift to anyone who watches.
Don't miss this one!
