Halo

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.

Let me first say that this is still not Halo. However, season 2 is a huge step up from season one, and is actually now a show that I enjoy and look forward to watching. However, it is still not Halo, but damn if season two has not had a few bangers of episodes and you actually care about these characters now, unlike season one. Not sure what changed behind the scenes, but it was a good thing, whatever happened.

I watched season one because of the effects, which were pretty great! Now, I'm watching because of the story too, which is pretty good! I used to watch the old school Doctor Who because of the story, not the effects budget, which was probably about $150. Story is everything, and this show is starting to have both a good story and big budget. Bravo!

Having played the games and loving the scifi of it, I was really looking forward to the Halo TV show.

Season 1 took some getting use to, Season 2 is a whole lot better. I understand and respect Master Chief taking his helmet off to show the human perspective and emotional depth of the Spartan. It has grown on me an I like it!

The actors do a phenomenal job of portraying these (super) soldiers, and I love the powerhouse moments of Master Chief both in and out of his suit. Halsey Is also a beautiful gem in the series.

Does it need to be exactly the same as the games?

No not in my opinion, it is still Halo trough and trough.

This Halo Universe has a lot of material and so many stories to tell. It can't be easy to make with many CGI components and the actors physical routines are demanding, but they are doing it! Keep it up!

Season 2 is a whole lot stronger, and I pray we have more Seasons to come.

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.

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.
