Chief of War, Mini-Series
Jason Momoa stars in Chief of War, a sweeping 18th-century Hawaiian mini-series that’s told largely in the Hawaiian language. The series plunges into the islands’ turbulent past with fractured kingdoms, prophetic whispers, and colonisation. Momoa plays Kaʻiana a weary warrior who is drawn back into the political storms threatening to overcome his people. With battles as breathtaking as the landscapes they’re fought on, the show balances display with rich, dialogue-driven storytelling. It’s an immersive and rewarding watch. Streaming on Apple TV+.
The Assassin, Season One
Keeley Hawes trades polite period drama for pure mayhem in The Assassin – a smart and sweary action-comedy where maternal instincts meet murder contracts. Julie, a retired hitwoman living quietly in Greece, is yanked back into the dark side when an attempt on her turns deadly. Enter Edward, her clueless, estranged journalist son (Freddie Highmore), who learns mum’s “headhunting” career wasn’t exactly corporate. What follows is a gloriously unhinged chase across Europe, with fight scenes, killer one-liners, and plenty of mother-son banter. Watch on Prime Video.
