Created by Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett, both of whom have native Hawaiian roots, this Apple TV+ historical drama immerses you in a world that feels both foreign and familiar, grand and grounded, bloody and beautiful. There’s also a deeper layer to this series that sticks with you… the idea of who gets to rule, who decides what a nation becomes, and how outside forces reshape identities and erase stories. Those themes hit differently when they’re told from an indigenous perspective, and it’s clear that Momoa and Sibbett are telling this story not just as entertainment, but as a way to reclaim and amplify a history that’s long been overlooked.
