Yes, there has been an amount of controversy.
I have listened to numerous explanations by Dallas Jenkins about the things people complain about, including “I am the law.” I have also watched his behind the scenes discussions with the various scholars who are consultants for the show. I found these very helpful.
For any who are interested, here are two links to Dallas Jenkins explaining some of these kind of things. (Note that you can also watch the episodes at watch.thechosen.tv):

Also, if you listen to the many testimonies people have posted about the impact that The Chosen series has had on their lives, you see people whose lives are radically changed (as we expect when someone is truly born again) by coming to Jesus for the first time or coming back to Him after having fallen away. By their fruits you shall know them.
