I didn't watch the show but I happened to see some clips on YouTube. Basically what they portrayed is not Yehuda, it's probably Texas. And the Pharisees were not so idiotic as they looked there. And that the Galilean was not 'the main character' of his life as this work indicates.
Some Jews have a custom of not referring to Jesus by name, but I have never heard 'The Galilean used." The common name that's used (for Ashkenazim, at least) is Yoshke, which is just that yiddish diminutive of Yehoshua. It's basically calling Jesus Joshy.

Interestingly its what Julian the Apostate used.
If you’re just talking about the filming location, From my understanding, it’s not Texas, it’s Utah. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has a huge “isreal” set there. While the production isn’t sponsored or even related to the church in any ways (in fact, sometimes counter to it), I believe the church allowed them to use the set. Which is a VERY RARE opportunity and privilege
You're about half right: while it's true that some seasons of *the Chosen* were largely filmed at the Church's Israel set in Utah, they also have a major set in Texas.
One big thing you should know is it’s not attempting to portray modern Jews. But isrealities 2000 years ago. It’s also not trying to be accurate. It’s trying to be authentic.

Completely out of left field question here, but is the “Galilean” a tern used by some Jews to refer to Jesus?
No.
Ah okay, I thought I’d seen it before
