      I watched it purely for nostalgia reason because of the games. There was few interesting scenes (combat scenes), but overall not worth it.

      They took a big dump on all the existing lore, and on the already well defined character of Master Chief.

      Forward Unto Dawn was so much better as a Halo adaptation.

      It would be an alright show… If it didn’t use the Halo name and was written to just be another science fiction/fantasy TV show.

      But unfortunately I don’t think the show was ever made for hardcore Halo fans - whether that’s because of the writers or just Paramount going over the writer’s heads I couldn’t say.

      I think there was some contractual obligation to produce two seasons, the 2nd of which was already in production before season 1 even aired.

    I’m so looking forward to S2, either it will be a great redemption arc for a failed TV-show or it will ruin HALO for me forever! I’m not even joking, I find it very exciting!

      I came here to see if the show is good enough that I should start watching it. I think I don’t have to worry about it now.
