Moku Moku

Prepare to fall in love with absolutely everything about Moku-Moku. We all have our favorite characters at our house and love their comic adventures. It's a show you'll want to binge with the whole fam, and a real look at island life on Maui for the local and native peoples. If you loved Reservation Dogs and Letterkenny like us, this is your new favorite. We don't usually see "upcountry" life pictured on TV at all- life on the slopes of the volcano which is more ranch style than anything tourists imagine Hawaii being- and that's what's fabulous about the setting. It's not a show trying to sell you some idea or fantasy of Hawaii- it's real Hawaii. It's the people. It's the traditions. It's also the challenges of living in the most expensive state in the country, for working young people trying to make ends meet. It's relatable, fun, silly and also quietly edgy. You'll love it! TV comedy at its best!

If you are old enough to remember the TV show, All in the Ohana starring comedian Andy Bumatai, then you will understand it when I say that Moku Moku is the spiritual successor of All in the Ohana.

I won't go into too much detail about story or plot, but I'd like to explain what I feel makes the show great... It doesn't take itself seriously. That's it. It tells stories that while unique to the local people of Hawaii, I feel can make anyone smile.

The funny moments (some of which are the kind you find in Naked Gun or Airplane) are in-between heartfelt demonstrations of friendship and family and even finding your place and purpose in life. All of this wrapped up with a competent, technical crew that gives a refreshing facelift to the aforementioned Bumatai comedy.

My review is based on the pilot, but I'm looking forward to the other episodes.

The acting is great amongst the main cast, and you can tell in some of the minor cast that they are greener, but that is to be expected (and the only reason I gave it a 9). What is really surprising is that you get a sense that the cast members all get along very well and it comes across on screen.

Again, Moku Moku doesn't take itself seriously, and that is welcomed by me during the crazy times we live in today.

I was beyond impressed when I sat down to watch Moku Moku- it's very easy to get immersed in the story and it has a good tempo- The stories in this series are relatable, and the people are just actually the way they are here. It's feels good to have Maui represented in the way this authentic.

I like the way it captured your attention and kept going without any hesitation. The editing is very good.

The character Pili was super relatable with his antics and mischievous fun loving time- there are a lot of people like Pili here- It has been a breath of fresh air to see Local entertainment by local artists, actors, producers and the like.

In an era filled with craziness, "Moku Moku" stands out as a breath of fresh air, offering a welcome escape through its lighthearted approach. For those seeking a perfect blend of laughter, heart, and a touch of Hawaiian spirit, "Moku Moku" seems poised to deliver a memorable and enjoyable ride.

The main cast receives praise for their stellar performances, injecting life into the characters. Even the minor cast members, while perhaps a bit inexperienced, add a charm that only enhances the overall experience.

In conclusion, it's like a tropical breeze of comedy blowing away the seriousness of life. So, grab your coconut cup, sit back, and let "Moku Moku" be your ticket to an island of hilarity - where even the palm trees are chuckling at the witty one-liners. As the Hawaiians say, "Mahalo" to the cast and crew for giving us a dose of sunshine in our TV schedules. Get ready to ride the laughter wave, because "Moku Moku" is the comedy luau you never knew you needed!

This comedy series show cases what being a young adult living in upcountry Maui is like. The show clearly features some of Maui's top talent in laughs, acting and production. Its really awesome to see something like this come from the islands. Watching this series makes me miss home so much and takes me back there when watching. The story line is very entertaining and the characters are so funny. It really leaves you wanting to know more about the characters and how the next episode will upfold. I Truly enjoyed the first episode and all the laughs. Looking forward to episode 2 and can't wait to see way more of this series. It is truly a one-of-a-kind offering from the island of Maui.
