There are moments in the first half of the new season that successfully draw stray plot threads into the main thrust of the story and more enthusiastically lean into silliness. For now, though, Halo, like its identity-seeking protagonist, is still trying to find itself.

It feels like we're right back where we started. And not even a hail-Mary attempt to adapt the seminal Fall of Reach storyline can save it.

Many fans are sure to love the increased focus on action in season 2 and, in some places, it proves to be a well thought-out decision. However, especially at the beginning of the season, when fans will be looking for answers to the questions we were left with at the end of season 1, it takes away from some of the character-driven stories, leaving little time for anything else. All of this results in a less meaningful season 2 that's lost some of its heart.
