I watched 1 episode, and that was all I needed to know that the creators had an opportunity to make something amazing but instead they wasted their resources on this garbage. I didn't read any of the Halo books, but playing the Halo series video games, you quickly realize that you'll never see Master Chief's face, and honestly, I don't want to. It is one of those things where you don't want to know what he looks like. But the show took about 15 mins to reveal the actors face.. No thanks. That is now what Halo is about, at least the games are not about.
Wil not watch another episode. If you do want to watch something that better portrayes Halo, watch "Forward unto Dawn".
