Jason Momoa’s New Apple TV+ Show Becomes an Instant Streaming Hit

by

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve just got to share my excitement about “Chief of War,” which made its grand debut on Apple TV+ on August 1st. This historical drama has taken the platform by storm, outperforming all other shows, even the ongoing Season 3 of “Foundation.”

I’m captivated by the story of Ka’iana, played brilliantly by Jason Momoa, a Native Hawaiian nobleman who embarked on global journeys in the late 1700s and returned home to ready his people for potential invasions from foreign forces. The plot is inspired by real-life events, with the tension, drama, and action cranked up to deliver an unforgettable streaming experience.

Two episodes are available now, with new ones dropping every Friday until September 19th. If you’re a fan of gripping historical dramas, I highly recommend giving “Chief of War” a watch on Apple TV+!

The highly anticipated “Chief of War” premiere surpassed expectations, with Momoa’s fame undoubtedly contributing to its initial success. However, his genuine enthusiasm for the project seems to have taken it even further. Known for his openness about his Native Hawaiian heritage and advocacy for the islands’ environment and culture, Momoa has been actively involved in the series since at least 2015, both in front of and behind the camera.

Simultaneously, there’s no denying the current demand for such grand historical TV dramas, and Chief of War certainly satisfies this craving. The series provides a raw portrayal of the early encounters between Hawaii and the wider world, avoiding stereotypes or oversimplification in its characters and narrative. What makes it even more captivating is the sense that it’s largely based on truth, although we can’t guarantee absolute accuracy.

It’s clear that positive opinions don’t always equal praise, but luckily, the excitement for this show appears to be justified. The series currently boasts a 92% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics commending Jason Momoa’s performance and the meticulous production as a whole. So far, it has been certified fresh based on 38 reviews, although the audience score is slightly lower at 79%. However, given this discrepancy, it’s reasonable to infer that positive word-of-mouth has played a role in the show’s success.

Keeping that information in check, the adventure has only begun! The series “Chief of War” can now be enjoyed on Apple TV+, with fresh installments dropping every Friday until September 19th. Be ready for the upcoming episode, which will premiere on August 8th!
