Halo Season 2 Is Shifting Tone, But What Does That Mean?
The first season of Halo was interesting, if only because it existed. After being in the works for years and initially produced as a Showtime series, the live-action adaptation of Halo moved to Paramount+, instantly becoming one of the most recognizable titles on the streaming service. In the end, though, the show might not have told the story it wanted to originally.
The first season of Halo wound up with a decent score of 61 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic, with a much decidedly reaction score from audiences who ultimately didn’t love the story presented. With that said, the team behind Halo has seemingly made a concerted effort to right the ship, shifting the series’ tone to hopefully make more sense with the material they’re adapting.
For Pablo Schreiber, who plays main character Master Chief in the series, the shift is one he thinks longtime fans of Halo will appreciate.
