not the show specifically, but the creator/director gets badmouthed b/c he doesn't hate Mormons
some of the producers are LDS, but they have no input on the show and some of it was filmed at the LDS bible sets. since Evangelicals hate all things LDS, they're mad the director won't denounce us.
What religion is behind ‘The Chosen? Do Mormons and evangelicals love the same Jesus? Are Latter-day Saints Christians? Dallas Jenkins, the creator, director and executive producer of “The Chosen” addressed these questions in a YouTube video.
