"The Fellowship of the Divine is a cult, led by Mr Phillips, whose face is so much the face of a cult leader that I have been subconsciously assuming Eccleston must be one in real life."
"In the Fellowship, the women nurture and do as they're told by the men, and the men pray and provide and tell each other they can do what they want."
"One day they are all out having a picnic when a big thunderstorm breaks over them. A child, Grace, who is deaf, mistakes the noise for the Rapture and runs off to hide in the woods."
"Her mother, Rosie, disobeys Mr Phillips's order for the women to stay put while the men search for her and finds Grace drowning in a large pond or small lake."
Unchosen is set in a Christian splinter sect where men and women share domestic duties but adhere to strict gender roles. The Fellowship of the Divine, led by Mr. Phillips, isolates itself from modern society, rejecting technology. The plot centers around a picnic interrupted by a thunderstorm, leading to a crisis when a deaf child, Grace, goes missing. Her mother, Rosie, defies orders to search for her, highlighting the tension between obedience and maternal instinct. The series delivers conventional drama without breaking new ground.
