Halo Season 1 is now streaming on Paramount+. Review by Jesse Schedeen.
Halo: Season 1 is by no means a perfect adaptation of the beloved source material. The series makes some storytelling mistakes and often stumbles when the action is too focused on recreating the look and style of the games. But considering Hollywood's track record with video game adaptations, it's a small miracle Halo is as good as it is. It succeeds in charting a different, more character-driven course with the mythos. Many of the changes made to the familiar Halo formula help the series better take advantage of the serialized TV format. This is an adaptation willing to take some risks, and those risks tend to pay off.
