I remember when people use to pay big bucks to watch 15 minutes of commercials every hour.
Then they fooled people into thinking they were getting a better deal by “bundling” multiple services.
The Offer shows me Paramount can still make real movies. Casting, script, performances and production values have all been top notch.

I did watch a few shows but after a while I stopped.

The Halo game series fanbois’ don’t care yo. /s
It's called "Night Sky" it's about an older couple who find a doorway to other worlds buried beneath their backyard shed.
Great premise!
Starring Sissy Spacek and J K Simmons.
But the rest of the cast is loaded with diversity hires, they are great actors but it just keeps niggling at you that there seems to be a boatload of them...
The cast keeps expanding... they must have to haul the diversity hires in by the busload now...
I'm hooked and will keep watching but lordy...
The story didn’t go anywhere.
The characters didn’t develop.
There is no reason to care about Season 2.
If you think this was bad... did anyone catch season 2 of Start Trek - Picard?
If it is part a subscription service it has 'momentum' regardless of how garbage it is - ratings don't factor in, only subscriptions. Hence, why increasingly more and more stuff is mediocre junk. they make the same money even if it is awful.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds is good.
“Red vs. Blue” was the last good Halo TV series.
Okay...we have to accept there are varying levels of bad.
This is not Disney+ Marvel M-She-U bad, but it isn’t great.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I give it a 6.
You do have to flesh out the story a bit when it is based on a video game. Unlike some other recent shows, it isn’t a case of the women are awesome and the men suck. Yes, there is a lot of racial diversity, but at least they didn’t turn the Master Chief into a black woman or anything.
There is also no overwhelming LGBTQRSTUV going on.
It is what I call Saturday afternoon TV. Something to pass the time, but not at all awesome.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds is good.

Agree. The traditional episodic format for Star Trek works well and the cast has a good chemistry together. I thought the 3rd episode, “Ghosts of Illyria”, was well paced with some interesting plot twists at the end.
‘Halo’ uses a new looney lefty tactic that’s becoming very common, they introduce characters but don’t reveal that they’re half of a mixed race or homosexual couple until well later in the series.
Whether I object to mixed race or homosexual relationships isn’t the point, the point is it’s stealth indoctrination. They think they’re so damn clever that they can slip in a surreptitious sermon without you realizing you’re bring preached to.
I’ve seen the same tactic used recently in ‘Ozark’ and ‘Bosch Legacy.’ I’m sure it’s being used more widely than that but I can only tolerate so much Hollyweird.
If you’re going to proselytize, man up and admit you’re doing it, otherwise you can pound sand.
FTA: ...the show tells the story of a super soldier learning about himself and his connection with a magical rock that has some connection with the halo world that the Covenant want to activate.

You know the writer was drinking and taking magic mushrooms when he came up with that story line.
I had “Halo’’ as a video game years ago.
Well, yeah. He’s got ‘feeeelings’ now.....and lookin’ to hook up with an alien raised hellspawn girl who looks like a freak SM influencer. Not to mention the other part of storyline with the AAPI-ish rebel girl and the female streak-haired Spartan who gots ‘feeeelings’ now, too. Oh, and can you say matriarchy? Everybody in charge is a woman.....
It’s probably not for everyone.
But I think it’s f*ing funny as heck
Especially the voice acting.
The drawing of the characters also captures emotions very well.
