"I think we're just getting started." - Halo Ep 1 Breakdown

***SPOILERS***

Halo on Paramount+ is finally here. Derived from the hugely popular video game, the show is being billed as Paramount’s answer to Game of Thrones (though at a measly $90mil for the season it’s less than half the budget of Marvel’s Disney+ shows). And despite all the comparisons to The Mandalorian, Linsay and Genevieve...didn’t hate it. They loved the introduction on the rebel planet. Not only did they give all of the characters (even background) personality with their appearances, but they also got the audience thinking from the beginning, “Who are the good guys here?” Quan was hands down the stand out performance of the show. The sound design is fantastic and we firmly believe that Master Chief taking off his helmet made sense to the story and the character (sorry gamer diehards, FPS just doesn’t work or a TV show). The CGI and production design for the most part were pretty great, though the Spartan CGI does get jerky at times, especially when they run, making it pretty obvious when they switch from CGI to an actual person. We would have loved to see Master Chief as Master Chief a bit longer before he breaks ranks and takes off with Quan. The writing wasn’t bad, but we are curious as to where the story is heading. The first episode was a bit cliche. We’re hoping it doesn’t take us down The Mandalorian, Lone Wolf and Cub route. While the show wasn’t great, it has us intrigued enough to keep watching (unlike The Book of Boba Fett...sorry, I know I promised no more BOBF references)
