The show is so unrelated to halo that if you took out halo from the title then it would be a different show. Every character that is from halo are blatantly man handled and destroyed as characters. No one acts like how they do in the books or the games. The show practically is a complete slap in the face to anyone who has even watched a youtube playthrough on halo, so much so that I think the director and writers were forced at gun point to create a story for halo but clearly didn't want to in the slightest. Over all this isn't a Halo TV series.
