Reviews are out for the first couple of episodes of Halo The Series season 2, and things are positive so far. At the time I’m writing this, it’s sitting at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. I got to see early screeners for the first two episodes, and you can read my reviews ofEpisode 1andEpisode 2right now. I enjoyed both, especially the opening episode, which brings a fantastic addition to the cast with Joseph Morgan as James Ackerson of ONI.
Analysis: A great deal for anyone skeptical
While I’ve made no bones of the fact I enjoyed the first season of Halo The Series a lot more than some others did, it was definitely flawed. Anyone who wants to see how the second season is improving should definitely take advantage of this offer. 30 days is enough to easily watch the majority of the new season, at which point a decision can be made to continue subscribing or not.
As a fun to look forward to, I’ve also got an interview coming soon with a number of the cast and crew, though this interview will have spoilers for the first two episodes of season 2.
