It took me a few episodes before I started to really like it. I'm a hardcore Halo fan and I wanted to see something very close to what happens in the games. And this show isn't what I was expecting. It's not like the games. It's a lot that's different. I still don't understand why they didn't just make something that's close to the source material. It has a huge following and the story has a lot of ways you can expand upon some things that they didn't do in the games. A good example is The Last of Us on HBO. They definitely get it. That's how the Halo tv series should've been made. But I started to tell myself this is a different universe from the game. A different timeline. After that I started to enjoy it. The one thing they got 100% right is the look. The VFX is fantastic. It very much so looks like Halo. And it has a great sci-fi story. Just don't expect it to be like the games. Maybe if it was it might not have gotten canceled.
