While the early Halo video games are widely loved. The TV show on Paramount did not receive the same level of acclaim. Critics generally had a positive response to Season 1. Which introduces a conflict between humanity and an alien alliance called The Covenant. But it was a soft positive at best.
For instance, the Rotten Tomatoes score for the show is a fairly average 70%. However, Halo Season 1 received a more divisive reaction from general audiences. Especially those familiar with the games, as reflected in the show’s audience score of 52%.
Cast Unveiled for Season 2
Good news for those who weren’t thrilled with Halo Season 1 – franchise producer Kiki Wolfkill has assured that feedback. Both positive and negative, has been considered for Season 2. While the producer didn’t go into details, some of the divisive aspects of Season 1.
