Chief of War

Finally a series worth watching. Rare gem in a sea of dumbed down tv entertainment. Great story telling, powerful scenes and amazing delivery by a great cast starring Jason Momoa.

This is the type of show that starts in a way that you just know it's going to be a great ride and it didn't disappoint.

To those complaining about the language and subs - you do realise that not everyone in this world speaks English..? That there are many different languages? Have you not ever watched foreign movie? JC. My mother is 75 and watches everything in original with subtitles. If you can't manage then it's not the series problem. This is beautifully narrated and filmed story so far. Kudos to all actors.

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!

Chief of war is everything that you want and more with great performances, and with a great Hawaiian setting, amazing atmosphere that pairs with the cinematography, which is also another feat of the series so far, with how memorable some of the shots really are. Action sequences that are very unique and unexpected, the introduction to this series could not have been any better. 9/10 so far so good.

This series is what we Hawaiians have needed forever. Finally someone ( This is Jason Momoas project ) is telling our story accurately. Love that the Olelo Hawaii is the language spoken. Love that there are Polynesian Actors who can authentically speak the beautiful Hawaiian language . It is a fictional story based on real events. I cant wait to see the rest.
