What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Chosen gives its biblical drama room for everyday life: banter between friends, meals shared, and quiet conversations alongside moments of healing and wonder. Its warmth is sincere without excluding sorrow or doubt. The unhurried, episodic storytelling allows individual backstories and small acts of kindness to carry weight, rather than moving only from one major event to the next.

Fishermen, a tax collector, and parents bring different experiences to their encounters with Jesus. Their relationships as brothers, spouses, friends, and students make faith a personal matter, tied to family bonds and a growing sense of belonging. Dusty roads, lakeside villages, and places of worship give these intimate stories a varied setting, while Roman occupation supplies a harsher backdrop to the tenderness.

Call the Midwife

BBC One • Jan 11, 2026
DramaMedical

Drama following the lives of a group of midwives working in the poverty-stricken East End of London during the 1950s & decades following. Based on the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth.

Why this pick

The Chosen’s warmth comes from people caring for one another through hardship, a quality Call the Midwife brings to its close-knit East End community. Its midwives and nuns share gentle jokes between difficult births and family troubles, while The Chosen gives more time to followers, relatives, and neighbors learning to trust and support one another.

Grantchester

ITV1 • Jun 14, 2026
CrimeDrama

It's 1953, and Sidney Chambers is vicar of Grantchester, a village just outside Cambridge. Sidney's life is a quiet life - right up until the moment that murder comes his way. Pushed into the dangerous world of lies, betrayal and murder, Sidney quickly finds that his insight into the human condition, and the natural trust that he engenders in people, means that he excels in his new position as 'detective'. Joining Sidney as he journeys into this dark world is the affable but world-weary Detective Inspector Geordie Keating, the naive, but well-meaning curate Leonard Finch, and his austere and constantly disapproving housekeeper Mrs Maguire. But crime isn't the only matter that occupies Sidney. He's smitten with the witty, beautiful, Amanda, but could high society Amanda ever be allowed to marry a lowly country vicar? Can you still see the best in people when the world of murder asks you to see the worst?

Why this pick

The Chosen and Grantchester both find human warmth in faith, friendship, and people facing private doubts in close-knit communities. Grantchester adds village murders, dry humor, and a vicar’s bond with a weary inspector, while The Chosen is gentler and more hopeful, lingering over family ties, meals, and conversations between a teacher and his followers.
