The show makes a powerful opening statement by delivering its first episodes entirely in Hawaiian. Then the British arrive and suddenly everyone is fluent in English. Forgivable. But when Hawaiians start speaking English to each other with no Brits around, it makes no sense and breaks the internal logic of the show. A disappointing crack in an otherwise carefully crafted show.

I'm enjoying all aspects of the show: authentic costumes, strong performances and character development, good story building, and great action. And yet Hawaiians speaking English to each other is a jarring flaw that breaks immersion. It is especially frustrating because, as Jason Momoa put it, "That was the deal-breaker for us. We wouldn't have been able to go home if we did this in English," underscoring how essential speaking in Olelo Hawaii was to the show's integrity.
