Title: Has no one talked about “Chief of War”?
Post by: HerbertTarkel on 27 September 2025, 06:31:48 AM

Apple+ series, starring many actors: Jason Mamoa, Temura Morrison, and others.

Overall, an ok watch - I’d give it a 6/10.

It’s visually brilliant; colourful, use of (what I assume is) authentic Hawaiian language and history (post Cook, so just after “contact”).

The downsides? Do you like reading your shows? And then randomly not? By mid-season, it’s like that.

Also, Mamoa could grunt, tear off his feather cloak, and flex literally one less time. Please. I get it: you’re a buff dude.

And, final complaint: the Hawaiians come off as very “primitive”, or “childlike” - it’s badly stereotypical. Big holes in the character.

Nine episodes. Not a big investment. It’s … ok. 6/10.

Thanks for the review.

Will be picking up Apple+ soon again. New season of Slow Horses.
But wanted to take a look at Chief of War.

Slow Horses new season is off to a killer start - that’s a show that never stops being awesome.
