With July coming to an end, it means summer is almost over. At least we have a fun batch of Channel Surfing TV picks to keep you happy. Twisted Metal returns for an even more chaotic season. Learn the history of the Hawaiian Islands in Chief of War. Then, follow an elite group of warriors in Eyes of Wakanda.
Tournament Time
The first season of Twisted Metal had the characters from the popular video game that shares its name, but didn’t pack the same kind of mayhem. That was all build up for the new season which will incorporate the titular tournament.
The Twisted Metal tournament is hosted by the enigmatic Calypso. It is high risk, high reward with a competition that kills, but the prize of one wish granted. Follow the performances of characters we’ve already met along with some new additions as they race for the win.
The first three episodes from Twisted Metal season two release Thursday, July 31, on Peacock.
War in Paradise
Today, people go to Hawaii to enjoy the weather and beaches. However, before it became a tourist destination, the islands had a violent history both amongst its people and with the outside world.
Chief of War is an epic telling of the history of Hawaii near the turn of the 18th century. Learn about how the islands became unified in order to face the incoming colonization. The cast is mostly of Polynesian descent and the series highly incorporates the indigenous language into the dialog.
The two-episode series premiere of Chief of War airs Friday, August 1, on Apple TV+.
The Warrior Retrievers
Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe began this past weekend with the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Now, we are receiving our first series in the new phase entitled Eyes of Wakanda.
The story revolves around the Hatut Zaraze, Wakandan warriors responsible for retrieving Vibranium artifacts from enemies of the African nation. These brave warriors travel the globe into dangerous settings just to accomplish their mission.
