El gran guerrero

The story is about 4 native kingdoms who are at war with each other to crown a king of Hawaii. Most of the dialogue is in their native Hawaiian language. Be prepared to read subtitles. Jason Momoa plays the lead. His character is a former chief who abandoned his kingdom to build a family in peace.

I'm not sure how accurate the wardrobe and traditions are in comparison to actual Hawaiian natives but the acting is excellent. This was mostly filmed in New Zealand. I would have liked it more if it was actually filmed in Hawaii. The pacing is a bit slow but the show has some suspense to it.

I feel like the plot is kinda predictable. Jason's character inevitably becoming king/uniting all 4 nations after countless battles and deaths of loved ones. I'm afraid this could end up being just another Jason Momoa series. Regardless, I look forward to seeing more.

The very first episode was immediately intense and interesting with a powerful moral.

This story needs to be told and I'm so glad it's finally being told in such an epic way.

The cinematography is gorgeous. I love how epic it is already.

The action reminded me at times of 300.

Jason mamoa is incredible in this.

I can't wait to watch more! Only 2 episodes in, but this show is right down my alley. Let's go on an adventure.

I have been waiting forever for a good series about the early Hawaiian kingdom being united. I only watched the first one and I'm sold so far. I hope they keep close the historical events even with Hollywood interpretation or embellishments. I was born on Maui, went to high school on Kauai, but unfortunately missed my junior year of Hawaiian history. Hopefully this will be on spot and a good for all to understand da early days of the islands...before England and settlers took over of course.
