This is plausible because he is seen in John 3 as seeking…he actually was seeking, and it is plausible that he was seeking and questioning before that one night he came to see Jesus. He is questioning what he knows and doesn’t know. He is shown to be seeking and open to the miracles of the man he comes to know as Jesus. He is shown as compassionate, knowledgeable, but not proud. For example, Nicodemus is portrayed in almost all of season 1.
Where the Bible doesn’t speak, the narrative is plausible. I have not seen them depict any of the disciples in any way that is contrary to the way they are presented in the Bible (except they made Matthew be on the autism spectrum…why? I dunno). They use verses and phrases from the Bible quite often. Where it depicts biblical events, it again for a lot of the screen time, is very close or exactly biblical. I’m so happy to have a Christian production that is not embarrassing in its acting, scenery, costumes, or settings! From what I understand, a lot of research and thought went into it.

The production values are terrific, the series is lush to look at.
The production itself is very close to depicting the real culture of Jesus’ day. I adore The Chosen! Here are reasons why I like it, some cautions, and the 2nd Commandment issue. The Messiah and disciples walk away from the well, after meeting the woman.
