Just wanted to pop in and say I am very excited for this series.
One because it is a series helmed by Native Hawaiians (Kānaka Maoli); Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett. Throughout his career, Momoa has always inserted inklings of his culture, (the same with Dwayne Johnson) however, this is the type of project that I've always wanted to see where they go all in. Also super excited to see Temuera Morrison, Cliff Curtis, and Luciane Buchanan.
Second, because this is taking the indigenous perspective in and around the age of the Western Colonial expansion of the Pacific Islands. It seems Momoa will be portraying King Kamehameha who united the islands.
For this to be on as large as a streaming platform like Apple TV is such a big step. I've always wanted to see a historical, political, war epic centered around Indigenous People BY Indigenous People. I'd love to see a version like this with the dramatization of the formation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
