The Halo TV show on Paramount Plus has got off to a fairly good start, with reasonable if not outstanding reviews from both critics and fans, although the latter have been complaining about the latest trailer for Episode 7, "Inheritance".
Basically, there's been quite a bit of criticism that it "looks nothing like Halo." We have to admit, the snippets we see in this trailer definitely remind us of a Star Wars / Mandalorian style desert planet, but then again, it is just a trailer...
Here's what some Halo fans have been saying about it:
"Generic Star Wars Desert Planet #45046946."
"Like, without the the logo I would not have guessed at all that this is Halo...."
The other thing that's getting quite a bit of criticism at the moment is the focus on Kwan Ha's subplot, which seems to be the key focus of this episode. In general, many fans just don't seem interested in the storyline:
"I really hope the Kwan stuff gets wrapped up soon so she can re-join Chief and the UNSC story. Talented actors are being used for a really off-brand story that doesn't really feel part of the Halo universe."
"I feel bad for Kwan’s actor because she has to deal with terrible writing and being out of place in the Halo universe. I’ve tried to enjoy this show but if this episode entirely focuses on Kwan, I’m not watching."
There's plenty of criticism bouncing around, then, but it's important to point out that the show also has lots of dedicated fans who are enjoying what it has to offer... just maybe certain parts of it more than others.
Tune in Thursday on Paramount Plus for episode seven!

I've been watching the series since the 1st episode. The MasterChief parts are really good, the few battle scenes we've had so far have been really well done too. The series has on the whole, exceeded my admittedly middling expectations.
That said, the Kwan character has been getting worse and worse throughout the series. After a decent introduction with MasterChief she now just does her own "save her planet" thing which feels so far removed from Halo it's increasingly difficult to watch. Not to mention the acting of the character is pretty poor, shouting "we need to fight" every 30seconds.
The show definitely has potential to be very good once it gets going however
What kinda cut u want?
Just ***** my ***** up.
I guess halo universe is not allowed to have desert planets. People keep complaining about everything these days.
I really like the show, it's not everyday we get a new AAA scifi series, excluding Disney's ***** series
I think it’s ok. I would have preferred they made something more true to the games, but it’s good for what it is.
This show sucks. The quality of the halo, reach, odst trailers are miles better than this.
I'm actually enjoying the show, but the Kwan B story is definitely the weakest part of it.
Halo fans complaining, shock, horror!
I haven't watched it, but these trailers...wow. When did year 2000-ish Sci-Fi channel budget quality become "pretty good" in 2022? Is that the effect of inflation?
@PhhhCough I'm enjoying it & I think halo infinite sucks 🤷♂️
@Would_you_kindly right on! Different strokes, for different folks. I give halo infinite a B-. Good for one play through and gamepass access.
