HALO Live Action series moves to a new platform.

News this week that NETFLIX will be streaming the Halo live action series originally produced by Paramount+.

Not having a Paramount subscription, this is great news for me.

Now, I know that the die-hard gamers out there panned the series for it's departure from the story line, but my question is this.

As a person who has NOT played the game, nor read any of the books, and so DOESN'T know the minutiae of the lore, is the series worth watching?

Engaging story?
Decent acting?
Good special effects?

Give me your thoughts.
