July 20, 20223 yr Now available on Amazon Prime and Apple TV in the UK. Anybody watching? I really like it. Decent budget, good acting, well written. I gather a few fans of the game aren't happy because "he took his helmet off". 🙄 Who cares, it's very well done, that's all that matters. For fans of the game Fallout 3... that's coming to Amazon Prime too. Edited July 20, 20223 yr by martin-w
July 20, 20223 yr I actually so far have had no interest. Too many of these Mega streaming channels are doing their interpretations of popular books and games, and again and again they just butcher them, apparently under the rubric of subverting expectations, or just because the writer thinks he has better ideas and wanders away from whatever made it popular in the first place. I'm just tired at this point of major characters being gender switched or whatever, and so-called edgy social agenda word not allowed inserted, which is perfectly fine in a brand new property for people who want that, but not so much for somebody who was expecting the classic book or whatever that engendered the new series. Once Bitten, twice shy. And thus, a series like this , that might indeed be good suffers because people are just burnt out after what's been done to The Wheel of Time and Star Trek and Doctor Who and to many others to name.

July 20, 20223 yr Author I've not played the game but I'm told it's pretty true to the source material. Not that it bothers me if it's close to the book, film, game... I judge these things on their own merits.
July 20, 20223 yr I watched season one. It's not bad. We'll wait to see what season 2 brings. Thank you. Rick $Silver Donor EAA 1317610 I7-7700K @ 4.5ghz, MSI Z270 Gaming MB, 32gb 3200, Geforce RTX2080 Super O/C, 28" Samsung 4k Monitor, Various SSD, HD, and peripherals
July 20, 20223 yr Author We 're up to episode 7 here. I've started from episode one again though because my daughter wanted to watch it with me. Impressed so far and I'm a fussy devil.
July 24, 20223 yr Moderator I read a few Halo novels a few years ago. When dialogue brought junior commissioned officers into the Master Chief's domain, the fact they saluted him and called him "Sir" completely turned me off to the series. Maybe it's petty of me, but respect the ranking systems. Of course, even the U.S. has one 'clinker' in their military structure: why does a Lt. General outrank a Major General? Fr.
