Halo Fans Have Mixed Feelings on the New TV Series

By Logan Moore - March 24, 2022 10:34 am EDT

After such a long wait, the first episode of the Halo TV show finally released today on Paramount+. As a whole, this project is one that has been in development in some capacity for the better part of the past decade, which means that its release almost feels surreal. Now that the TV series has finally arrived, though, some longtime fans of the Halo video games seem torn on the direction that this adaptation could be heading in.

Not long after Halo debuted on Paramount+ in the early hours of this morning, social media began to fill up with impressions from viewers who quickly decided to tune in to the show. In a general sense, these impressions were very mixed overall. While some fans praised the look of the series, especially in regard to Master Chief's armor, others found the story a bit lacking out of the gate. Others were also a bit confused about how this series fits into the larger Halo universe, which is something that 343 Industries itself has already explained in the past.

If you'd like to see some of the reactions from fans to today's Halo premiere episodes, keep reading on down below. And conversely, you can also check out our own review of the series so far right here.

Too Many "Boring Scenes"

#HaloTheSeries the first episode was bad, I didn’t like what chages they did with the story, I also didn’t like the fact that Chief removes his helmet, there were many boring scenes and maybe the only good part of this episode was the battle from the beginning pic.twitter.com/smlvgyvtib

It's Just Okay

First episode of #HaloTheSeries was okay. The presentation is amazing but the story has me more than a little worried after episode one.

Need More of That Halo Music

Finished the pilot of #HaloTheSeries

I enjoyed it! I like the political drama the most so far. The action is fun, and the VFX looks pretty good. I do wish there was more Halo music, this is very likely cause of the lawsuit, but hearing noises from the games was cool- pic.twitter.com/VdoHosP0M6

Master Chief's Voice Sounds Odd

The first episode of #HaloTheSeries was an interesting one. I quite enjoyed it. I would have rather Master Chief go unseen facially like the games and I would have also liked his voice actor to make the transition over to the show too.
