Chronologically it’s a mess as well. By the time we really catch up with Jesus doing “Jesus things” in The Chosen, according to scripture, he had already flipped tables and caused quite a stir at Passover on the Temple Mount that year, shortly after being proclaimed by John the Baptist as “the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” starting his ministry. I’m a huge nerd for cause and effect and sequence of events. Something that the Chosen has taken absolutely no mind to.
A good analysis, however I have a few points to address. We each follow our own paths that upon some point in our timeline we accept Christ into our hearts, and grow from there with the help of the Holy Spirit. For an individual that has walked that path, and has grown a bit - you would be rightfully pointing out the discrepancies in the material. However, you run the danger of negating the benefit the overall message would have on the unbeliever, perhaps throwing out the whole bundle as tainted, without reasoning that the good parts of it may start the spark that will soften the hearts of some. People like to be identified, and in order to bridge that gap of being able to identify with something, there needs to be allowances in my opinion, it is good to be critical for sure, but if the overall message reaches more of those needing it, rather than a show that may be foreign, and “boring”, would we not lose value in not acknowledging there is a place for it to help others start their journey to christ? We all start as “diamonds in the rough”, with wisdom only coming with time.

Thank you for that great comment, I didn't even realize how out of sync it was, although I knew they were playing loosely with it.
