In this video essay I break down why I believe the halo TV show is probably going to fail to meet audience expectations. As a huge fan of the games, I really want them to succeed, but I just don’t think there’s much of a chance of it turning out well. There are major challenges with the source material, and the very nature of the film industry is going to be a huge hurdle to overcome if the show has any chance of doing well with fans.
