A knock off robo cop plot. A man who from age 6 has trained to be a super soldier, has seen worlds and countless people turned to glass and charred bone now cant function because he misses his parents.

United Colors of Benetton commercial in halo, real woke, creatively broke. an absolute white hot dumpster fire in every regard. About as accurate and faithful to the source material as World War Z was to its book.… Expand

The product of giving 5 yr old kids some halo toys and they play without knowing anything about them.
Very uninteresting, inmature characters. Misses the whole point of a human threatening war.

Every female is a Mary Sue, and every male is incompetent. All character have been changed, and the production has no attention to detail (everything is pristine in a dusty desert). Even the CGI is terrible. Deep fake videos made for YT have higher production quality. This is not even fan-fic of Halo. This is someone that hated Halo's toxic masculinity, so they infiltrated to write this to "get even". Cancel your sub immediately and send them the only message they pay attention to. 1/10
.
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

This is not the Halo you know from the games and they made this clear. 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 differentThis is not the Halo you know from the games and they made this clear. 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

Quel naufrage, quelle infamie… jamais je n’aurais cru qu’ils oseraient faire de Halo, la célèbrissime licence de jeux vidéo, une pantalonnade wokiste complètement à côté de la plaque ! on dirait que ç’a été boulotté par une bande de SJWQuel naufrage, quelle infamie… jamais je n’aurais cru qu’ils oseraient faire de Halo, la célèbrissime licence de jeux vidéo, une pantalonnade wokiste complètement à côté de la plaque ! on dirait que ç’a été boulotté par une bande de SJW rageux au taquet, à l’exemple de ce personnage inventé de toutes pièces qui parasite les deux tiers de la série : la petite conne d’ado rageuse en perpétuelle crise de nerfs (Caliméro dans les cordes !).

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

Based on the first episode, it's a good fan service, but with a bunch of problems. My mainly concern is if they tried to put some boring side character with a stupid revenge story, that master chief needs do baby sit.

Action packed enough with a story that senters around the Halo Reach era or a little ahead of it.
But it strays from being "Halo". Master Chief reveals his face from Episode one, which i think stomped on the mythic lore of 117.

I guess they did it to keep the series on a more human level.
McElhone does a good job as Halsey, and thank lord Jen Taylor is voicing Cortana. Atleast they have some respect for the game.
Pablo Schreiber is a meh. Master Chiefs voice is not there and he is not 117 that i have grown up with.
It deviates a little from the game, but the story works okay for me.
Still, this series has plenty to reach for (no pun intended)… Expand

It is so nice to have a franchise you love get announced as a show, but that can cause blindness in ignoring it's faults. And after someI thought this was great, but then after reading reviews, I think I was just a dazzled fanboy. It is so nice to have a franchise you love get announced as a show, but that can cause blindness in ignoring it's faults. And after some reflection, I must now admit those exists. Please don't get me too out of place -- I like some characters (and hate others), the CG and production looks good to me, and I do like how the Halo ring is something built up to rather than introduced immediately. But I am seeing a fair disrespect for the franchise. I believe it was said that several in development never played the game, or didn't like them (I got to find who those were), and when you look, it does seem apparent. Creating a new time line to take your creative liberties? I don't think so. Covenant hobnob with humans? I'm pretty sure most would kill on site or need a HUGE amount of persuasion not to. And Master Chief removing his helmet for all to see? The correct answer to that was "when Hell freezes over".

For all future game adaptions, they should always remember to hire people who actually like the source material.… Expand

Having finished the first season my thoughts on this season is a bit complicated and first off the series will definitely need a second season when they created a new timeline with new lore using less than 25 percent of the well establishedHaving finished the first season my thoughts on this season is a bit complicated and first off the series will definitely need a second season when they created a new timeline with new lore using less than 25 percent of the well established lore and because they need to explain a lot of stuff that was left unanswered. This season can be considered 7 and a half episode as one was just a filler to try and complete a sub plot that didn't need to be there and the other one to create a bond that wasn't entirely necessary but was used to move the story forward. Over all the first season felt very empty reason is that the writers wanted to create something original to them but also not used much of the original lore thus creating a mess with a noncoherent story telling. They are not trying to pull in the halo fans but a general crowd to try and experience a generic show that calls itself halo for branding thinking they can pull the wool over the fans eyes saying it's halo look its the master chief he is still the main protagonist even when he wasn't. Most people would say it's woke and I would agree to a certain extent because this has bad writing with generic scifi ideas and barely passable CGI along with it being a bad television series that overshadows whatever agenda they are nudging at. In conclusion this show is skippable due to bad writing and as a waste of time and if you are reading this you have been warned watch at your own risk.… Expand

I've been a zealot fanboy of Halo basically since I first played Halo CE in 2002, So I have quite a good grasp of the lore. I really respect that they've set it in a alternate timeline and approached the lore respectfully and created a compelling story.

The acting is great. Enough said. I like how the show depicts a much darker reality for humanity, it explores a lot of the nuance of the UNSC's decisions, whilst in the games/some books its "Aliens bad. humans good". For instance, Cortana's purpose is much more dystopian than the Smart AI role in the core timeline. Also Mirada Keynes becomes the viewers tool for exposing the moral **** of her parents and the UNSC. I also think their approach to Chief is both justified and rationalised. His interactions with forerunner artifacts and removal of chips means he has grown in a different way.

I have some criticisms and that's why it's a 8/10. For instance I wish there was a bit more battle sequences, perhaps a budget constraint for a new show trying to world build. I also felt it didn't fit to have Jen Taylor as Cortana. I respect she is the voice of Cortana, but everything else has changed. It just felt like a fan service move that ended up a bit jarring.

Overall, a really interesting start for a new approach to Halo. I look forward to this spinning into its own timeline of connected shows.… Expand
