Chief of War

"Transportive, immersive and enlightening – the prettiest and bloodiest history lesson you'll get all year."

"Meditative and epic... demands to be seen."

"Has such a strong engine -- in Momoa, his character, and their shared daring -- it rarely feels slow or stagnant."

"A majestic and immersive story about rebels, home and allegiance."

"Sometimes rousing, sometimes meandering."

"Jason Momoa was made for this."

"It is a worthy endeavour, and if it occasionally feels too much like that, it does relax and gain confidence as it proceeds."

"Needs less talk, more combat."

"The passion shows through, and the stuff is interesting — nothing you see everyday, for sure."

"None of it would work without Momoa’s considerable screen presence."

"Epic and exotic; daring yet dignified."

"We... love the full commitment the series makes to the Hawaiian language, from Momoa and the entire cast."

"A visual and dramatic feast."

"Chief of War is a passion project for its star, but only sizzles when he’s on screen."

"Cut from a similar cloth to Shōgun, this grand, ambitious series deserves to call itself an epic."

"While comparisons to Game of Thrones are inevitable, Chief of War felt, to me, like a Hawaiian version of Shōgun."

"Certainly matches the competition in terms of scale and ambition, but its true secret to success is how it exemplifies a culture that has been underrepresented."
