SPOILER ALERT: In short, I have been a halo player for 10 years, At first, I was skeptical of the show being non canon and the first trailer didn't actually comfort me, but after watching the first episode, I can say I was extremely surprised, while the cgi was a bit shabby here and there, the acting was great and the action scenes were really well done. The way how the UNSC, Catherine Halsey, Oni and the insurrectionists were depicted was on-point. The spartans looked as great as I hoped and the covenant didn't seem like generic alien monsters which missed their shots but rather looked menacing and literally murdered children. They really humanized master chief which was honestly a great thing because Pablo schreiber has really invested himself in the character and has genuinely worked hard. Over all I give it an 8/10 and can't wait for the next episodes!
