This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you grew up loving this series be prepared for disappointment. This had the potential to be great, producers were giver the opportunity to make it great, and they flew it into the ground like Captain Keyes did The Pillar of Autumn. I can only hope that the rest of it doesn't end up like The Pillar. It starts off with a almost exclusively non-white female dominant casting with a few whites thrown in to not seem racist. This Star Wars 7 spacer brat is not only lucky, but able to outrun 20 elite's AFTER her 5 friends are picked of brutally with plasma fire within seconds while she manages to send off a flare to signal to her people. They get torn to shreds in some great CGI. The Elite's rip the insurgents to pieces and then the Spartans come in and you expect it to get good. So it does for a bit but then some continuity starts popping up, heavy machine guns used by the humans are useless but as soon as a Spartan grabs it now it has power. They wreak the Elite's in typical Spartan fashion managing to save our now even luckier space rat. After the Chief and Spartans walk away from the lone survivor they make their way to the main continuity mess up. These Spartans we know to be children told an elaborate lie and given a goal to be humanity's heros are no more then literal BRAINWASHED super soldiers. Flash over to the Covenant who have been eradicating the humans like Hitler did the Jews, now have a young white human as a "Blessed One" and seen as an equal or even greater then the High Prophets. Not only is she fluent in their language and refuses to teach them anything in human dialects, she gives them advice on how to deal with humans. Right back to the UNSC where the casting for the Keyes Family, a military proud, to the letter, respectful family is replaced with a Jacob Keyes who doesn't care for military procedure with beards and regulation buzz cuts, he is a wuss and can barely stand up to his strongly opinionated daughter about disposing of the brat. This same child who would rather lie about aliens killing her whole settlement and blame it on her savior's because of a grudge regarding her mother's death. This brat then gets thru to John somehow and he starts to go rogue since these old repressed memories sparked up completely disregarding his Motherish like figure Dr. Halsey ordered him not to. The head honcho of the UNSC is of course a woman, orders him brought back and the girl killed so now John has to save himself and the girl. Doing so he is then "threatened" by this girl and I say that because she just picks up his rifle while he is still fully armoured. He tells her it won't even dent his armour then proceeds to humanize himself by removing the helmet. This is a huge no-no but the actor did a great job playing Sierra-117 and although a bit more cold then the real deal he does great. They keep the helmet off for the rest of show. Overall, it has absolutely nothing to do with Halo other then the rights to use the characters. The steaming hot turd they call a story completely built on messages throw at you deliberately and under the radar while making up their own lies to tell this story. The casting was inclusive while being exclusively almost non white. CGI was great for the elite's but simple things are overlooked. The spacer girl is Jesus like with her luck of avoiding death while being indignant, ungrateful, disrespectful and a life coach to the Chief. The Keyes Family was casted for their skin color, nothing to do with how well they portray the actual character. Covenant hail some white human and while she learns more about them, she gives nothing back. So in the end, I won't even give this a mark. I didn't pay for it so I don't feel like I wasted my money but don't go outta your way to watch it immediately. Feel free to watch it never or if you just wanna watch an attempt at shoving the message down your throat while messing with a well developed universe still watch something else.Ive watched the second now and it is worse then the first episode. Been told about the third and I now give up on these producers. The white girl with the Covenant is not only able to operate a Covenant ship like an AI but she also wields the flood like a pet. Or at least I think it's the flood since of course the producers didn't read or play or watch anything that came before. This show is **** and the creates of this atrocious waste of money should be skinned alive and strung up by their ham strings, beaten like a pinata and left out for the crows to pick at.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's just not good. It's subpar acting, subpar CGI (hell the expanse has better CGI and that's from Sci Fi), and every character from the core series, and faction, is changed from their Orginal incarnations. Nothing to do with physical appearances, but with WHO and WHAT the characters/factions.

The Covenant would NEVER have a human. Their entire early belief system is about complete and utter genocide. The fact a human is included is literally a contradiction to who the Covenant is.

The Same goes for the Spartans. The entire point of SII project is stop insurrection. We. Know that, and in the main lore, the Spartans KNOW they were kidnapped. They understand that, but they put it aside because the Covenant don't care and the Covenant is a threat that everyone must unite against. Making Chief go Awol in the middle of the war is idiotic. Chiefs core beliefs are to protect all of humanity whatever the cost. Besides, the only reason he ever goes Awol in the main lore is after decades of battle and years of being with Cortana who changes his views about himself. Plus his alliance withe the Arbiter.

Basically the characters are hollow copies of their true selves and its boring and dull.… Expand

Pretty bland. Another 'woke' TV series. Reality TV meets Sci-Fi. The entire show is based around interpersonal/personal conflict. Not expecting anything fantastic out of the cast or story for the rest of the season.

Linear plots.Pretty bland. Another 'woke' TV series. Reality TV meets Sci-Fi. The entire show is based around interpersonal/personal conflict. Not expecting anything fantastic out of the cast or story for the rest of the season.

Linear plots. Non-caucasians and women can't be bad guys. No large battle scenes. Small conflicts with 5-15 people. Plots entirely driven around self discovery. Just waiting for a non-hetro character to be dropped zzzz. Stop abusing minorities to try to win awards, we dont like it. Theres going to be An episode entirely dedicated to John's flashbacks. A capture and escape of Kwan who then, not directly, killers her captor. Probably Vinsher. We'll be made to hate him through lines like 'the UNSC is right' and 'we have a war going on, it's justified' etc. It won't be anything like hating Joffrey in game of thrones.

End game, Keyes siding with John and using her ship to taxi service him around the galaxy racing the Makee to activate an artifact. End game, she's captured and coverts to love himans and the covenant and profits become the main antagonists for season 2 and 3. The characters never come together to solving an issue that's not driven by their own 'woke' status. Ie, covenant attack and we all band together to defend it. Nope. A rogue UNSC fleet break a truce with the miners and they all come together to stop them. Not gonna happen. This is a reality TV show. Just goes downhill and gets worse and worse after that. Throw in realllll lazy animation. Almost none. Lots of recycled animated sets. There should be 1 more 4-20 person to person battle and one 'sneaking' or daring escape of some sort. Every character has a redeeming moment. Depressingly boring show so far and my expectation is that it just gets worse. I guess 10 more episodes might prove me wrong but I doubt it.

They will have more story arcs than game of thrones and none of them will make sense. You'll see probably a hero Caucasian male become the main antagonist and he'll die to one of the diverse characters, usually through a secondary action ie a bomb goes off as they escape and he gets engulfed in flames. Or after a battle, he'll fall through a floor and won't be helped by the diverse character because they realise he's evil to the core or something.

There's lots of different weird side story arcs that add nothing to the main plot. They will be there to stretch out the series and story. You'll get sick of them pretty quick. It will be stuff like, Kwan has so get back to her planet and its half an episode dedicated to her walking only to be captured as a spy. Or keyes spending heaps of time researching, like a whole 20mins to find out that the covenant didnt make the artifact. Covenant won't have any big battles but they will elude to them happening, like they will arrive just as the battle ends and theres wreckage or a destroyed camp or something. Right at the end expect a battle to occur but they won't do it because of budget. Overall... pretty unimpressive show. Unfaithful to the source material. Completely imaginative rewrite but also clearly incorrect in its basis. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they jump the shark and just go do some time travel or at least some weird magic, dead serious. Thats gow non sci-fi writers get around filler material for tv shows, they just say 'cant we have like, John has a twin, and he can communicat with her through space instantly using his psychic powers? Also hes a vampire?. Break causality because the writers have zero understanding of the genre. Its much easier to just screw with source material or learn the basis of a universe than it is to just straight up make stuff up. It breaks the ability to suspend disbelief. So many jarring moments. The sets are cheap. Real real cheap. So so so many moments where there's just characters sitting doing nothing but contemplating their existence urgh. Very lazy writing. I'm really struggling to make my way through them. Scenarios and sources of conflict are entirely driven by stolen glances and internal thoughts of the characters doing morally ambiguous actions.

To quote the show -
'The Truth could bring us all down'
'That's what Cortana is for'
'Cue ominous music...'
Pretty much sums it up. Words and emotive language are the go to for the writers. Not sets, plots and good writing. It's all about trying to get people on an emotional roller-coaster rather than standing them in the light of discovery and enlightenment. Mad Max. Mandolorian. Lower decks. Star treks (pre-discovery). Boring.

It's obvious what the show would have been, a mandalorian style man against the universe who picks up friends along the way. Instead, it's a let's make it cheap, fast, cut it where we can, hire the cheapest animators and set builders we can find and cross your fingers it's enough to get it over the line for awards and for fanservice. Let's see what happens, i guess the only way is up when you're at rock bottom right?
