Its Halo so its awesome by default even if it sucked which it doesnt it would still be better than all the Woke infected unwatchable sewage that hollywood has been puking out over the lasat couple of years. The story is good. The special effects are great and they didnt ruin it by injecting political propaganda which has nothing to do with advancing the storyline while alienating 80%+ of the audience. So far anyway, so good business decision, unlike some other scifi series ruined by progressives. Keep in mind most of youre audience just wants it to be fun and entertaining and not trigger a gag reflex like the video game series. The critics reviews ive read and watched seem to be a collection of pseudo intellectual narcissist more interested in tearing something down while making themselfs sound smart and pompous, than remembering how to just have fun watching something cool.
