OMG - CHIEF OF WAR. I have been telling everyone I know to watch this - so, so, so beautiful (the robes and headdresses!!) and such an important and pivotal piece of history that so few people know anything about. I learned about it from listening to the Smartless interview with Jason Momoa. The level of care (not to mention the years he and his co-creator put in to get support when no one was interested) that went into the making of it made me want to give it a try. I'm glad I did. I so appreciated the intentionality behind the use of Hawai'ian and the gradual introduction of English. What really made the show for me was how they pulled the women's stories up front and put them at the center of the story. And the actors... holy mackerel. I cannot wait for season 2. Yes, I'm gushing. It's that good. Watch it EVERYBODY.
It’s one of those shows where after every episode we just sit on the couch in silence just wrecked and also so engrossed we need a minute to come back to life.
