Moku Moku

This comedy series show cases what being a young adult living in upcountry Maui is like. The show clearly features some of Maui's top talent in laughs, acting and production. Its really awesome to see something like this come from the islands. Watching this series makes me miss home so much and takes me back there when watching. The story line is very entertaining and the characters are so funny. It really leaves you wanting to know more about the characters and how the next episode will upfold. I Truly enjoyed the first episode and all the laughs. Looking forward to episode 2 and can't wait to see way more of this series. It is truly a one-of-a-kind offering from the island of Maui.

This is the best comedy to come out of Hawaii. Its so much fun to watch. Already watched the first episode 3 times. Can't wait for the next episode to drop this week! This is going to be an exceptional series, I can feel it. Here's to many more seasons to come. The cast is fun and makes you want to get to know them more from week to week. The upcountry Maui local flair is super fun to see on screen. The production and crew did a spectacular job curating an experience that will be in our hearts for a long time. We are so lucky to get a glimpse into island country life. Be on the lookout for what's to come in the future from this crew!

I was beyond impressed when I sat down to watch Moku Moku- it's very easy to get immersed in the story and it has a good tempo- The stories in this series are relatable, and the people are just actually the way they are here. It's feels good to have Maui represented in the way this authentic.

I like the way it captured your attention and kept going without any hesitation. The editing is very good.

The character Pili was super relatable with his antics and mischievous fun loving time- there are a lot of people like Pili here- It has been a breath of fresh air to see Local entertainment by local artists, actors, producers and the like.

If you are old enough to remember the TV show, All in the Ohana starring comedian Andy Bumatai, then you will understand it when I say that Moku Moku is the spiritual successor of All in the Ohana.

I won't go into too much detail about story or plot, but I'd like to explain what I feel makes the show great... It doesn't take itself seriously. That's it. It tells stories that while unique to the local people of Hawaii, I feel can make anyone smile.

The funny moments (some of which are the kind you find in Naked Gun or Airplane) are in-between heartfelt demonstrations of friendship and family and even finding your place and purpose in life. All of this wrapped up with a competent, technical crew that gives a refreshing facelift to the aforementioned Bumatai comedy.

My review is based on the pilot, but I'm looking forward to the other episodes.

The acting is great amongst the main cast, and you can tell in some of the minor cast that they are greener, but that is to be expected (and the only reason I gave it a 9). What is really surprising is that you get a sense that the cast members all get along very well and it comes across on screen.

Again, Moku Moku doesn't take itself seriously, and that is welcomed by me during the crazy times we live in today.

Moku Moku is right up there with Reservoir dogs and Letterkenny. It shows you the side of Maui that tourism doesn't touch on. Classic upcountry hometown Maui life to bring you a closer experience to one of your favorite islands. It has local actors and local entertainment and it truly is a community project come to life and on your screen. This show immerses you in Maui culture and can bring you to the islands from anywhere in the world. If you're missing Maui - watch this show to feel back on island again. Grab a malasada and a spam musubi and get comfy to get to know Pili, Kimo and Leilani. Is your favorite going to be goofy lovable Pili? Or hopeful daydreamer Kimo? Or how about ambitious headstrong Leilani? Give a watch and support local art and entertainment to find out - you won't regret it.
