Surprise! The Halo TV show is now free on YouTube and season 2 is apparently out this February

This one might've been an accident

www.gamesradar.com

In perhaps the most casual TV announcement I've ever seen, Paramount+ has put the entire first season of the Halo series up on YouTube and has revealed that season 2 is set to begin on February 8, 2024.

The Paramount+ YouTube channel now includes a Halo season 1 playlist with all nine episodes streaming at full length in full HD quality. The season is fully visible for me in the US, though you might be locked out from viewing it if you're in a different region.

Gross. This show is a catastrophe.

 

[The Cockatrice]

You'd have to pay me to watch this.

 

[Skifi28]

Season 1 Free on Youtube

Seriously, don't do this to yourself.

I enjoyed it for what it was. Always liked the actress that played Dr. Halsey since I saw her in Californication.

 

[poppabk]

I thought it was pretty enjoyable for someone who has never played a halo game.

 

[StereoVsn]

This show actually started alright and a first few episodes weren’t too bad. Then it all went to shit.

 

[Vyse]

Stay away from Master Cheeks!

 

[Skifi28]

I'd watch forward unto dawn again instead.

 

[Timberwolf25]

I emjoyed most of the storylines and characters, but could do with less of the Asian chick character. I found her annoying af.
Looking forward to S2.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

No.

 

[LordCBH]

The first season was hot dogshit, so I’ll hard pass on this.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

hilarious

 

[mitch1971]

Halo. Goodbye.

 

[j0hnnix]

Emotional Chief.
Season 2 Episode 1 - Inside the Halo of our Feelings.

 

[Thirty7ven]

The first season was offensively bad. Halo deserves much better.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Big Nose Master Chief naked scene was the only thing worth watching in the show.

 

[Codes 208]

Halo: The fall of Cheeks

 

[reinking]

I kind of liked it when it came out. Not enough to watch it again but I didn't hate it.

looks like they’re staying closer to the canon of halo with reach being glassed and then the discovery of the halo ring. At least that’s what I assume based on the trailers.

The problem with the show is that it appeared so low budget season 1 and it’s also on paramount+ which is a mediocre service. I don’t know many people that subscribe to it…

The show would have done much better with Netflix or Amazon and a higher budget.

It might have been better with Amazon or Netflix, then again it might have got ruined into the ground ala Rings of Power, Witcher, Cowboy Beebop, Resident Evil, etc

A big streaming service company is no guarantee of success especially with the shitty writing those companies seem to like to employ.

I enjoyed most of what Paramount did with this version sans that Asian chick who was annoying to me.
I wasn't on board initially with the Chief face reveal, but actually think it was better in the end because of it. The story is definitely not canon as they made that clear even before the show aired, so at least I don't feel like it was a bait and switch.

Edit: New Godzilla movie is crushing it and it was reportedly done on a 15 million dollar budget. Compare that to the poop that Disney has released recently that have bomber so hard spending in the 100's of millions of dollars each.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Terrible fucking show.

 

[Del_X]

Season 1 was a fucking train wreck. I’m gonna end up watching this anyway but still…

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Seriously, don't do this to yourself.

I have YouTube Premium so I'm half thinking of watching it.

 

[Tams]

So bad that they have to give it away for free?

What a mess over at Microsoft Gaming!

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Watch season 1 on PTV instead as it's in Dolby Vision.

 

[wolffy66]

Straight ass

 

[Quezacolt]

The only people that seem to enjoy this crap are the ones who never played an Halo game.

 

[daffyduck]

They give so-so shows like this the star treatment, and they cancel decent ones eg Rabbit Hole? Streaming service 101.

 

[wolffy66]

When I say this was a bad show I almost feel guilty for lumping other bad shows in with it. Complete trash.
