I fully expected this show to bomb because well, the actual story of the video games isn't great to begin with. And even putting that aside, great video game stories rarely ever translate well into live action TV shows or movies, because they simply have very different styles of writing to make up for the length and gameplay.
Many fans of the franchise were upset that Master Chief takes off his helmet in this series, but these fans are unfortunately absolutely clueless, because I can only imagine how terrible the show would be if we never got to witness the nuances in John's facial expressions. Basically, this is creative license done right.
Putting the video game element aside, Halo is easily one of the best space sci-fi shows I've seen since The Expanse. I've been looking for a new sci-fi series to watch for awhile; who knew that the show I was avoiding all this time turned out to actually be pretty great?
