This show is not like the game, that's a good thing. As an avid player of the Halo series I have been waiting a long time for some good Halo content, i.e. movies or a TV series. I gotta say that although I've seen all of the video game story clips, I found them less than memorable and not that compelling, usually I would skip past them so I could get back to slaughtering the Covenant. After watching the first 4 episodes of this show, it looks like they've taken the characters and the universe that we love and are telling an updated and more compelling story that definitely reflects the times we're living in. Over all I like it and can't wait to see where they take us. I would recommend this show to people looking for new Sci-fi content and folks needing a break from Marvel or Star Wars.
