I was hopeful for this series at first, glad that what looked like might be one of the FEW good adaptations of a video game would carry the Halo title, but...this? Why did the show runners feel the need to discard 20 years of lore establishedI was hopeful for this series at first, glad that what looked like might be one of the FEW good adaptations of a video game would carry the Halo title, but...this? Why did the show runners feel the need to discard 20 years of lore established over multiple forms of media, not just video games, but books, graphic novels, and animated shorts? You didn't have to do a 1-to-1 adaptation of a video game, but you went so far in the other direction that I barely recognize any of the characters except for the armor they occasionally wear to remind us who they are. This series is a disservice to a loyal fan base, and honestly, considering 343 seems to have signed off on this dumpster fire, I'm not sure I care to continue buying their games.

Who did they make this show for?

Disclaimer: I'm not even criticizing this from some "anti-woke" perspective, I could care less that Keyes had a palette swap. But the background details of how the Spartans were created, the motivations and personalities of the Chief and so many other characters is all out of sorts. The Prophets would NOT stand for a human wielding so much influence, it would be a threat of the highest order to their authority. Master Chief is not a raging lunatic. There are many BILLIONS of humans and almost 30 years of conflict with the Covenant to create new stories that synch with existing materials. Why this separate timeline crap?… Expand

A consistently disappointing series which is transparently bored with its source material and desperate to be doing anything else. Halo sets a new low for adaptations of any kind by outright refusing have anything in common with the sourceA consistently disappointing series which is transparently bored with its source material and desperate to be doing anything else. Halo sets a new low for adaptations of any kind by outright refusing have anything in common with the source material it is based off of. This is made abundantly clear by how half of the season is devoted to characters invented for the show doing things unrelated to the main plot in settings invented for the show. Half of the series' runtime is unrelated to Halo, effectively set in it's own universe; and the half which is allegedly built off of the source material changes effectively every character's personality and motivations, meaning very little of the final product bares any resemblance to the games, or even expanded universe of the series it is based on. Beyond its failures as an adaptation, Halo: The Series is just a poorly paced, awkwardly written show which clearly wants the viewer to see it as an incredibly intelligent work of science fiction, but repeatedly chooses to tell the viewer important information about its characters and plot instead of showing it, and what little moments of development we do see are often incredibly cliched and hard to care about. All around Halo: The Series oozes with disrespect for the IP it is based on and unenthusiasm to exist. The show-runners themselves have said they never played the games, but even without knowing this it's very clear in the show itself. So much of the series' plot feels tonally unlike, or in some cases thematically opposed to the games that it almost feels spiteful, as if the series thinks it is better than what it's based on and wants to distance itself from it. It lacks all of the character and captivating narrative choices of the games and tries to build it's own product instead. Unfortunately, even if that wasn't an inherently flawed approach to adaptation, the show can't find two legs for itself to stand on. There are so many new characters and locations meant to express themes the source material already did more effectively that it becomes almost humorous seeing how ignorant of the IP the show-runners were. At its heart, both the original series and the show are supposed to be stories about "humanity" in the abstract sense of identity and purpose, the games managed to explore this theme with subtlety and charm which made their stories genuinely engaging to move through. The show's attempts to explore the same concept however come across as stereotypical, predictable, and worst of all just bland. This series really feels like it isn't made for anyone. If you like the games you'll be disappointed with how far the show deviated from the franchise's identity. If you liked the show and wanted to check out the games, you'll be disappointed by how most of the show's cast, and all of its style are absent. This series is cut and dry just the cashing in of a paycheck with no respect or care for the franchise it was built off of, and it isn't worth your time.… Expand

It feels like a generic scifi trying to wear Halo's skin and it really shows that it had 265 failed drafts to try and make it canon. Covenants weapons are way too powerful than they have ever been depicted and writing choices makes 0 sense... Why would someone casually hang out with the person they knew who murdered their parent and why would the humanity genociding alien cult allow a human of all species tell them what to do. Avoid like the plague, unless you enjoy mediocre shiny scifi in which case this is for you until you find the next thing to move onto… Expand

It's a 4 out of 10 so giving a 1 to bring score down to 4 where it belongs. The action is the strong point... somewhat. The CGI can and often gets BAD, but they got some feel of the series' action in them. That's the 6/10 parts.

The 1/10 parts:
The casting is some of the worst this year. It doesn't even have the benefit of "Cosplayer Syndrome" (where the actors don't look anything like the character but their clothing/armour does, so at least they look like a good cosplay at ComiCon LA). But even their whole look is changed so for no reason they removed the Games' characters' essentially. If the show were muted, a Halo fan could not tell who half the characters were.
And these "new" characters are all about... politics? Awful Halo fanfic politics about the UNSC? Uh, that's not Halo's appeal or strong point.

Those are the 1/2 out of 10 factors but then other things like some more still CGI like Covenant leaders looks astounding. Really odd. So it brings the score up a point or two, combined with action that can be sometimes passable 6/10 stuff.… Expand

This Halo TV series is quite bad, terrible even at some points (episode 8 for example). One of the biggest mistakes the Studio made was probably hiring writers and directors who have no notion or have even played the games, or at least read some of the books. I don't know why they thought this decision was good in the first place, but here we are. I have no problem with changes to a story so it can fit the narrative you made because you can't recreate absolutely everything precisely from the games and books, but the creators didn't even bother to make it as close as possible. They made an overly complicated story for a 1st season when they should've kept it simple. I'm okay with changing the looks of some characters as long as they are portrayed as close as possible to the originals, but with Keyes and Miranda they didn't even bother. And Master Chief has nothing in common to the original the design of his armor looks terrible too... how come Forward Unto Dawn makes a more accurate portrayal of the Chief and even look more accurate than this one considering it has probably 5 times bigger budget than FUD. The story itself doesn't make any sense and I still can't understand why the showrunners try to make Kwan a thing when even they themselves forget about her. She literaly disappeared for two episode episodes (would've been better if she wasn't included at all because her character is completely pointless) and came back, because the writers remembered that she existed. Elements of the story didn't make sense like the memory whipe of the Spartans' childhood and capsules for controling their emotions and stuff. As a whole the show is quite average, below average even if you are an generic viewer and haven't touched the games or books then you may find some enjoyment in it, but for the fans it doesn't appeal for us. I would've given it a 5/10 but consideribg what Paramount is doing with YouTubers who criticise the show it deserves a 3 (even that's too generous for them), but I really hope thay don't make a second season to this and just let it go.… Expand

.
Fan Fiction is defined as an element in the story that has nothing to do with plot, that is simply there to titillate the audience. So everyone saying this is Fan Service is not using that term properly. If a scantly clad woman walks into a scene, jumps up and down a few times, then walks out of the scene. Or a heavily muscled man walks out, removes his shirt, flexes a bit, then walks out, these two examples would be Fan Service. The after credit scene in No Way Home was fan service, but since GG/Doc were integral to the story they are not fan service.… Expand

Is it still good would be the reply and I say no even more if you are a Halo fan. Maybe unfamiliar viewers can get out more of the show. The show is something different than the games and the changes and new characters cant win me over. I think the games were already a blueprint for a movie adaption with not many changes needed. Even a Halo creator came out and roasted the show (Not the Halo I made). Lets start with the elephant in the room: The ending of season 1 is so horrible that I expected many angry rants. I don't know how they want people to come back for a second season. Lets continue with the problems: You barely see in the show that humanity is loosing a war against the superior alien Covenant forces with billions of casualties. Master Chief is hollow compared to the games and also other characters feel inferior like Cortana, Miranda Keyes or Elizabeth Halsey. Also Cortanas and Master Chiefs incredible relationship is ruined or non existing here. I know they want something different than the games but everything will be judged against the source material no matter what franchise is used and you have to deliver. This is something that will be come up again and again. While I see the potential of Kwans story and character it should be done better. Also does the struggle of 1 world matter when planet after planet is purged / glassed by the Covenant? The character Makee is an interesting choice that I would defend. Unluckily she is wasted by the script. Also there is not much action in the show. I hate bashing here but the choices were questionable if they would win the Halo fans over. The actors are fine for me after some thinking. I cant blame them for doing / delivering the script when their roles are different form the sources. Pablo Schreiber does a great job but does not feel like Master Chief. I praise him for the performance. Yerin Ha as Kwan and Charlie Murphy are wasted by the script but do a good performance. I cant blame them. I shorten this by saying all actors are decent to fine. I praise the action scenes but those are sparingly used. Some sets and effects are not that good but it is not that bad. I repeat this is not the Halo of the source material or what it need to be. Overall I think it is a missed opportunity and overconfidence that they can improve Halo harmed the show. The source was a blue print that should be used with some adaptations like Lord of the Rings. It would have millions of Halo fans watching and praising it instead. I give a 3/10.… Expand

Mais en vérité, c’est toute l’intrigue, la pseudo-intrigue de cette première saison qui fait n’importe quoi : on va d’ineptie en ineptie et les scénaristes défoncés au crack foulent au pied tout ce qui fait l’intégrité d’Halo, son identité même ! car franchement, à part l’armure et le casque, on se demande où est passé Halo là-dedans… non mais Halo quoi !

Plus on avance au fil de ces 9 épisodes, plus on tombe de haut, de très haut… à part le rôle du Docteur Halsey (bien interprété par McElhone) tout le reste de la distribution est sévèrement à la masse et ne sert qu’un seul impératif : promouvoir la diversité au maximum (les minorités sont ici… majoritaires) et déverser ses idées de propagande woke progressiste à la con… Du coup, la cohérence vole en éclats très rapidement et ça ne fait que s’aggraver : un putain de tissu de conneries ininterrompues !

L’USNC est ici par exemple (sans rien dévoiler…) le mal incarné… le Major réclame justice (lui aussi est un social justice warrior pleurnichard… pas un warrior hélas) et quant à Cortana… mais qu’ont-ils fait de Cortana ?! (c’est un massacre à tout point de vue !).

A chaque épisode, on est de plus en plus énervé et dépité… c’est tout l’univers de Halo qui s’effondre ici devant nous avec ces comédiens laids et grotesques (comédiennes y compris d’ailleurs… ). Les jeux avaient beau avoir l’air ballot de temps à autre avec leurs scénarios plus ou moins téléphonés et simplistes… mais ça tenait la route au moins ! ça restait à la fois énigmatique et étrangement fascinant. Mais là, avec cette série, on a juste de la merde, de la merde et rien d’autre.… Expand
