Halo’s adaptation accuracy is mildly undercut by the moderately creaky narrative wheels it’s set in motion. ... [However] with top-notch CGI and a lead performance from Schreiber that lends new depths to his famously one-dimensional hero, Halo appears to have the firepower to become its own uniquely formidable sci-fi titan.
Where this all goes and whether the balance tips more toward character and story or more toward video game-like battle scenes is unclear, but if the first two episodes are any indication, character stories will win out. As long as that remains the case, I’ll gladly go along for this sci-fi ride.

Vale a pena assistir, e lembrando que é apenas o começo, tem muito enredo pela frente ainda.

Série simplesmente perfeita, a primeira temporada foi um show e já não vejo a hora de poder assistir a segunda temporada, simplesmente recomendo a todos

It mostly succeeds in this regard, with the relationship between Quan and John proving to be the show’s saving grace. They offer a hopeful glimpse at a future where they both help each face off against a universe that is dead set on using them for their own means. Even when everything else around them struggles to come together, they remain the glue that holds it all together.
The first couple of episodes represent a decent start that, despite its best efforts, failed to stun me. But it didn't drive me away, either. Without question, one detail the producers got right is casting Pablo Schreiber ("American Gods," "Orange Is the New Black") as Master Chief. The man has range, and that makes the possibility of what he could bring to "Halo" exciting.
While “Halo” features a few minor pivots in these early hours, there’s very little to spoil and even less to spark curiosity that’s not already present. Perhaps most surprising is how smoothly the initial narrative plays out, given how many creatives came and went during development.
Maybe Halo does play as more exciting and specific if you have an internal checklist of game elements — weapon types, helpful acquisitions, character or planetary allusions — you’re looking to have acknowledged. For those of us who don’t necessarily crave or appreciate those things, Halo has a generic story, limitedly engaging characters and a clearly high special-effects budget that yields respectable but unremarkable results.
They’ve avoided the trap of filling precious screen time with impenetrable jargon and shorthand, but the result is an extensive mythology rife with political machinations that, at least in the first couple of episodes, feels alternately opaque or convoluted.

Decent show, but the "original" and "coming of age" side story featuring Kwan Ha (Yerin Ha) brings the series down, her character is the most obnoxious and disrespectful thing I've seen in television in a while, no spoilers but her story is completely irrelevant in the season and can be skipped altogether, and you'll save your sanity by doing so.

I'm both a fan and player of the video game and I know what kind of toxicity exists around the Halo franchise.
So all the complaints about how it wouldn't respect the canon were to be expected, but just like a comic book or book adaptation, no one said these should be exact copies of the game. If you want that, then play the damn game.
Now speaking of the show, I do understand the changes. These were more than necessary because this show needs a bigger audience than just fans of the source material.
How well does it work for it? Well that's a different question.
The main story is solid, although I do think it lacked a little more action. It's quite understandable that there wouldn't be shootouts in every episode, but there was a deficiency in that area.
What it does well even with the CGI failing at times, is enough. Not great but for the most part it's solid.
Kwan Ha's narrative was completely useless though.
I didn't understand the need for that character and I hope I don't see her in season 2. Other than that I thought the main narrative even with its shortcomings was entertaining enough.
There is a lot of room for improvement of course, and I hope they get their act together heading into season 2 because this show has a chance to blossom if given the time. We'll have to see what happens, but in the meantime I can recommend it.

As a halo fan since the first game on the original Xbox, i have to say this series is a travesty to Halo. Boring, bad and lacklustre story and little to no acion.
