While Unchosen is fictional, it pulls inspiration from real-life British cults, which makes it hit a little harder. Director Jim Loach told The Independent that writer Julie Gearey “actually grew up in an area in the south of England where some people at school were going home to mums and dads who were in cults.”
He added, “I was really fascinated by that, because she’d spoken to people who’d come out of being in a cult about their experiences. I thought there was a huge amount in the script that resonated with contemporary society, and I felt it was a really brilliant time to do a story about people living in a cult.”
Considering the show only dropped on April 21, its quick climb into the Top 10 is pretty impressive. And based on early reactions, viewers are especially into the performances.
