    I refuse to watch that show, I was planning on bing in it once it was done but as soon as I heard about the absolute disregard for the IP I stopped caring and every time I see it mentioned it somehow gets worse over there.

    All they needed to do is space John Wick with just 20% more high level plot

      I read some of the books back in the day, there is definitely room to do a space opera, war focused scifi show without twisting the halo universe away from the games… I have zero interest in watching it though because halo 1-3 were one of my most beloved childhood franchises, I know they could have found writers and directors who love halo as much as I do and would have updated and fleshed it out in a way that felt true to the games. As it is, it just feels like the show’s target audience is people who don’t really have any connection to halo which seems like a pretty dumb idea.

      I got star trek on paramount tho, so I don’t need a shitty Halo tv series adaption.
