Big fight scenes are everywhere in the Aquaman star’s drama about the real-life 18th-century warrior that united Hawaii’s four kingdoms. But so too is a lot of heavy backstory. It’s dense stuff
The one thing people can't say about Apple TV is that their content is low budget. Whether the cast is large and partially well known, the locations and sets are elaborate and the SFX and CGI are extremely well done. Sometimes you get all of the aforementioned. Chief of War definitely didn't spare any expense with its story about the end of the 18th century when the four major kingdoms of the Hawaiian Islands were in a state of war. As Ka’iana Jason Momoa provides prescense and then some and I immediately began to wonder why he took his family to live in the solitude of the kingdom of Kaua’i, and turned his back on tribal life. But how things play out it is revealed in a story that is intense,bloody and with all the right amounts of turmoil and raw emotion. After watching 2 episodes i started wishing that all of the episodes had been released. I'm wondering about how things will play out for the characters and on what paths they will take in their lives.
