I never played the Halo games so I didn't really know what to expect but I have to say I really liked it. First off, Pablo Schreiber is such an underrated actor and does an excellent job in almost everything he does and he's great as the lead here. It seems that most of the people who don't like it is because it's not exactly like the video game. These shows need to be adapted for tv so there going to be a little different. Most people don't read the source material and don't care but I guess some of the ones who do know it do mind. As long as it's entertaining I've never cared if they change it up a little. This story is well written, the acting is good, and there's plenty of action and drama to keep you interested throughout the series. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who's a fan of sci-fi or action.

Omg,This girl Kwan Ha totally spoiled the show. She needs to go.......nothing to do with her in the series. Her character is annoying as hell. No point of her in the series. Thank you.

Enjoying the show, the action, the actors, even the Forerunner tech (game departures aside), but OMG for the love of sanity can someone please shoot Kwan?!

It's like every time I'm getting into the story I'm suddenly dealing with a Rey Palpatine wanna be who is more fixated on her dusty rock tribe's little rebellion than the incredibly advanced aliens that are raining from the sky.

That aside, the rest of the show has been really good si-fi fun. Pretty well paced story wise, just enough character development without anything overshadowing the fact that this is a story about enhanced human super soldiers vs. Aliens.

It is not bad, I get that super fans are more critcal about it but overall it is a good show and entertaining.

BUT... Kwan Ha is so cliché heroic side character and annoying as hell. I couldn't get through her parts.

I am not a Halo Game aficionado. But I watched a few Game Videos, where the cinematic parts of the games are put together.

That said, I think that what this production does is simply the only way to make a consistent SciFi show for a broader audience and not a pure fan-service.

Its decision to show us the human flesh and bone behind the Helmet, how John thinks and how he feels, how vulnerable he is when not behind his armor, how broken as a human, that is the biggest strength of the show from the first season on, and makes this a good experience. Pablo Schreiber is clearly the right choice for this part. Him always behind the Mask, always in combat, would do the show no good.

The Halo TV series can stand for its own as a beautiful, high-level/high-budget modern Space Opera, with the characters and within the world of Halo.

The show does tell a different story than the games, yes. But that is another advantage. If not, it would be just a cinematic recap.

It is, I give that to the critics, not always consistent and perfect. Season one spent too much time on some side-stories and on the new character Kwan, who is kind of annoying to many of the audience, and seems to be hated. But Kwan seems to have a special purpose in connecting the other characters and a big part of the story arc.

But season two is now focused on converging many threads. It is more densely packed and had a breathtaking episode 4, a bit too slow episode 5, in is again gaining momentum in episode 6.

Some voices here write something like "desecration", or even "heresy", as if Halo were some holy book that has to be worshiped. But it is a game with a story and not an Epos that defines mankinds' culture. Some talented people at a gaming company set it up to make it work for players, and now other talented people do the same for the screen. And they do good.

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.

Halo (TV Series) is the long awaited live action project that's been teased since 2006 first in the hands of Peter Jackson. Years later we have a show produced by Paramount+ and the series' first season dropped in 2022. Halo (TV Series) had just concluded its second season in 2024.

The story of Halo (TV Series) has retconned several aspects of the games. The story of the series is that humanity is at war with an alien allegiance known as The Covenant and both sides will do anything to win. There are themes of loyalty, betrayal, mistrust, deceit, and duty in the show.

Many of the narratives in the games have been altered to fit a more generalized story, but the look and feel of the series is very close to games. The costumes, sets and themes are all still very Halo.

The biggest controversy in the whole series is the lack of Master Chief's helmet. In Season 1 Master Chief has his helmet off nearly the entire season. In Season 2 Master Chief has his armor removed for most of the season. This is extremely offensive to fans as the helmet represents the Chief and taking his armor away is like taking away his identity. The actor Pablo Schreiber portrays Master Chief as an angst ridden shell. Shreiber's performance tries to give Master Chief lots of anger and mistrust, yet very naive at first. I felt given the script Shreiber gave a good performance and physically he looks the part.

The action in the show is very good. Each fight in the whole series had me hooting on the edge of my seat. The show opens with one of the best battles in the two seasons. The first season has some great action but not that much of it. Season 2 however, has action almost every episode and really steps it up a notch. There's close quarter combat, medium range combat, sniper range combat, ground scale battles and space battles. The choreography is really great stuff and very fluid in direction. I felt when the show had Spartans in battle the series really shined.

The writing in this show took a more anti authority approach, showing the military force UNSC as the ultimate bad guy. Master Chief is constantly battling his own belief as a soldier and what it means to be a Spartan. There's civilians and rebels shown in the series to portray the mistrust in government and really sells that war is propaganda. The tone is different than the games, but it still is consistent with the themes in the Halo universe. War is hell and the military will use all its power to win.

I felt this series does a decent job, but it had the weight of more than a decade of anticipation to live up to. If this series had come out sooner I think it would have been much better received. The action is great and the look of the show is extremely close to the visuals in the games. The story was retconned to have a more general appeal. The tone of the story was written to be more anti establishment rather than a unified army against a common enemy. I still recommend this show to anyone who enjoys sci-fi and any Halo fan.

I actually enjoyed Halo a lot more than I thought I would. It's based off a video game about an enhanced super soldier they call Master Chief and his team as they defend humanity from Aliens and it takes place in the 26th Century. The special effects stand out as you can tell they put a lot of money into the show. It may start a little slow for some while it builds it world and it's characters but I found it extremely entertaining. It may get a little complicated for some of you who don't pay close attention though. I enjoyed this show so much that I binged the entire first two seasons over a weekend so I'm really looking forward to them making a few more seasons.

Go back to Cortana design from season 1.

The season 2 design is horrible, too young and looks like a bad CGI render and lost all personality from season 1. All the good work from the actress gone.

Season 1 design was good, with very good work done by the actress. The only problem was the color, make her blue, like that all.

Like I don't get it, really. Show both design to anyone season 1 win easily with only one critic to it.

Everyone is doing a good job in the show. I'm just starting the games so I can't really say much on that. Maybe more Spartans, less non-spartans content would be great.

Oh and would always follow MC or believe him, LOL. Bull from a few characteres.

When you approach an intellectual property that you clearly do not respect or understand, there can be no good outcome.

In this case, the intent was obviously to exploit a beloved gaming franchise to push an agenda and make a profit.

Unfortunately, in their haste to use the Halo universe for their own purposes, the makers of this show did not bother to stop and reflect on the elements which originally made it successful.

Instead, they hollowed out the core concepts of the game until all that was left was an aesthetic shell, which they then filled up with their own ideology.

Beyond the lack of respect for the source material, this show also suffers from inept dialogue, abysmal character development, and emaciated plot development.

While this criticism may seem harsh, the series truly is an abject failure right out of the gate.

What is truly sad is that this did not have to be a disaster.

Forward Unto Dawn stands as a testament to the fact that Halo can be translated into an engaging story with flesh and blood actors.

Alas, in this instance a game with a devoted following and enormous potential was desecrated by outsiders who merely wanted to use an existing fanbase for their own purposes.

Firstly I have never played the game so my review is purely based on the tv series!

As far as Sci fi goes this up to now has been quite entertaining it has a good cast which is essential the only actor whom annoys the hell out of me the young Kwan played by Yerin Ha I have not seen anything she has been in so don't know if it is her or the script given to her but she is the only actress that I would more than happily see eliminated from this show! Sadly I can't see that being anytime soon as the role she has been given seems to be one that is in the centre of things, I have viewed 5 episodes and interested how it develops.

In my 40s, a gamer and massive sci fi fan. In my opinion the two best sci fi series in my generation have been Battle Star Galactica (the newer version) and also The Expanse. This Halo series has done a great job of using the source material from the games and creating an adult sci fi series combing elements of BSG and Expanse. This is not just for the kids who enjoy the games (they will unfortunately probably be the review bombers) but suits a much wider audience and it delivers. Spectacular visuals, awsome acting and a multi layered storyline. Definitely recommend to those people looking for their next sci fi fix.

I gave a 10/10 earlier after watching 1st episode hoping something fun to happen.. But the show progress not interesting. Actions and stuff are pretty great. Pablo Schreiber also tall & fit the roles perfectly.. plus I don't mind if he wanna take off the helmet.. But the other characters in the show not likeable. You guys better go watch Moon Knight much more interesting.

Short and sweet.. Absolutely loved the series, hoping for a season 3.

Great casting in all roles, superb action sequences, only gripe is the lack of original music from the Games, Marty O'Donnell's score is easily one of the best video game scores of all time, and was a major part of what made Halo successful.

Sure it can't please everyone especially the more hardcore halo fan, (whatever that is!) I've read the books played all the games since day one and this series stands on its own, fantastic adaption!! Hopefully we can get a season 3 with a few more episodes as 8/9 per season is a little short!

Can't wait for more!

I am currently halfway through the first episode and the chick, Kwan, what a seriously unlikeable character. Also, macguffin, probably the girl is going to be the key to ending the war or something... Not a good start.

I love "Halo". I find it entertaining, well made in most aspects. As someone said, Pablo Schreiber is greatly underrated and I think that's owed to his masculine hero image, but he can act, I can tell you that. Ironically, even for a character that's supposed to be a silent super-soldier devoid of our "weaknesses", just following orders supposedly -- Schreiber's Master Chief is both a joy and enigma to watch. His mannerisms are on point and he's able to communicate a lot of confliction and other feelings just with his face. Great casting there! The other Spartans are well-cast too. Natasha Culzac starts a bit in the shadows but there's an episode in the second season where she is given enough to show her range as an actress, and her performance had me in awe. Kate Kennedy is consistently captivating on screen, it seems the more she's given to work with the better the scene with her in it. Natasha McElhone is, in some scenes, in a league of her own, which befits an actress of her renomé. But it's a compliment to Halo that the rest of the cast isn't far behind in terms of acting prowess, the show's so much better for it.

Halo doesn't fumble on the CGI. The Covenant are done masterfully, it's all really impressive, at least for a TV show. It's also done with finesse. When plasma bolts are flying, I have to say I am not getting tired of it. All the better stuff's not blown up all the time, the show has commendable pacing switching between meaningful engaging conversations and the rare battle which too seems to be put in the right place.

On a rare occasion, I feel Halo falls into cookie cutter villain territory, but it recovers quickly enough as the more complex elements of the plot are woven back in and get back into front seat.

I find the plot to be complex enough to be thoroughly entertaining.

Halo is a package. You may not vibe with all of it all the time, but it's been long I've had such a pleasure watching a TV show. There's marvelous, ingenous sci-fi out there, and while Halo could be better, I think it deserves my score. It had a tall order to fill -- please the gaming fan base and what not -- but it won't be forgotten by me the way I forget a lot of other stuff I discover and put away.

I hope Halo has a long run on television and I can only hope the actors are given great material to show off their range. It's not often that so much of the cast is so consistenly good, even the chemistry, for the most part(!), works to the cast's advantage.

Halo fans were very critical of season one, because it was not at all what we were expecting due to the lack of action and combat scenes and a silly love story.

There were also many holes in the script, pointless and useless annoying characters like Kwan, and a terrible unrealistic chain of events regarding the bizarre love affair with Master Chief and the silly choices he made.

There was bad acting, poor script writing, poor character development, silly dialogue, and an extremely vague and confusing storyline with no particular direction and purpose.

However, coming into the second season, we had one thing going for us, and that was the visuals and sound design. Kate Kennedy is the best casting choice of the whole series. She's actually huge in real life, at 6 foot 3 inches tall. She's a fantastic actress, I like her voice, she's really cute (the kind of cute that grows on you), and she serves an important role of holding the actors around her together to maintain a sense of team and loyalty.

If only they would finally kill off the monumentally annoying character Kwan and spare us all the constant annoyance every time we have to her face on screen...
