"Chief of War," a historical drama series starring Jason Momoa, premiered on Apple TV+ this week. Set in early 19th century Hawaii, the show explores the life of a real-life chief during the unification of the Hawaiian Islands. Critics praise its intense narrative and visuals, though some note its pacing issues. Filming coincided with the rare eruption of Mauna Loa volcano, seen as a positive sign by the cast.
