El gran guerrero

I'm stuck on this show, 3 episodes in and I'm sold on this. Jason kills this one again. My only issue so far is how fast he learnt English but I also like the fact that there is no time for BS, they really mean business. If you liked vikings and the likes you will certainly love this, it's fast paced and filled with reasonable action and also has a very good story.

I am deaf and I was born and raised in Hawai'i, but with no Hawaiian ancestry. I still have my highest respect in Hawaiian values and culture. When I heard about this TV series by Jason Momoa, I was thrilled to watch. But once I started watching, I was looking around to turn on the subtitles because I am deaf. To my astonishment, I discovered the Hawaiian subtitles!! Luckily, I took the elementary Hawaiian classes at Kapi'olani CC, and to satisfy my curiosity, I turned on the subtitles in Hawaiian and... it gave me goosebumps!! By seeing the subtitles in true Hawaiian language, I was able to read and understood some of them. Incredible!!! I'm excited to be able to watch this with subtitle options being shown in English and Hawaiian. Mahalo, Jason Momoa and the entire crew behind this TV series and Apple TV for this amazing feat!

Im a Canadian Native on west coast of BC. There are lots of movies for Eastern and Southern Natives but none for North West Coast Natives. I would love to see a movie of an actual war that happened in my Village of Nuxalk Nation (Bella Coola, BC) We took a thousand war canoe to Yalis (Alert Bay, BC) and we slaughtered an entire village in relation for the rape and murder of our Nuxalk Cheif Daughter. On another note, I fully love how "Native". The usual other "Native" movies are always telling the story of a whiteman surrounded by Natives but not Chief of War. We all know Hawaii men are Warriors but the women are fierce warriors too, so only thing i would suggest is put the camera on a female warrior a bit more. I would love to see 2 women added to script. First would be Portia Woodman, she would be great on set. The second would be UFC Rachel Ostovich, she is Gorgeous. Men like me want this. Im proud of the work you did on this set. Eager to see next.

Chief of War is finally here and it has not disappointed. I've been waiting and looking forward to this ever since I first heard about it. Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew even more. I love these types of shows and movies and I'm a big fan of Jason Momoa. He's had a lot of memorable parts in his career and this is among his best yet. It's such an original story of Hawaiian history that's never been told before. You can tell Momoa but a lot of love into this project. There isn't a dull or boring scene in the entire series. The only bad thing is all the episodes aren't released at the same time because this would be best watched as a binge. Apple TV has hit home run after home run. It reminds me of peak HBO when almost every show they put out is a must watch. I can't recommend this show enough.

Ignore the half wits that don't do subtitles, it's their loss. As a historical drama it works really well and pays plenty of respect to the indigenous people of the Hawaii's, the language only serves to add the feel of authenticity.

The story is a little clunky at times but it keeps you engaged and the the look of it is luscious. I for one enjoyed it.
