I really, REALLY wanted to like this one. I have been such a huge Halo fan since the first game. This is an example of a production company who liked the IDEA of the intellectual property, and had a complete disrespect and disdain for the CONTENT of the property. This felt nothing like Halo, and completely ignored the established franchise's history, lore, cannon, etc. Bad CGI, bad action sequences, and a completely underwhelming plot and actor performances.

I know that this show is controversial to the die hard Halo fans, but I have to say, as someone who loves that universe, I really enjoyed this show! Putting a face to Masterchief was a little nerve racking at first, but it worked out. The action in this show is really great and reminds you of the games.

At first I had no hope for any series that would be spawned by 343 industries that had to do with Halo. In my opinion 343 industries was the downfall of the Halo series. When Bungie left Microsoft and gave Halo over to 343 industries, they turned the entire series into something that was just bland and unfeeling.

I had hoped after season one we had seen the last of "Halo" the series. In short and without wasting too much time, in this reviewers opinion, cringe worthy, woke nonsense, with a thin veneer of a sci fi series that looks and behaves nothing like the famous games franchise, it apes. Only upside I can see is reasonable CGI..... My advice, if you haven't already, watch the movies instead. Oh and play the games, they are great fun, with a story much better than this.

It could have been an a average sci-fi show but with the attachment of the halo name it just plunges this show to the bottom. the writers intently ignore all the things that made halo fun, the lore, the action, and the stakes. instead what we get is a space soap opera (and not a good one) with the halo name attached.
