‘Halo’ is a TV show now, and you can watch it on YouTube

Everything is everything in 2022: Books become shows, movies become games, games become shows. Now, we have a new addition to the content our insatiable attention spans consume: “Halo” is no longer only a video game, but a live-action TV show on Paramount Plus as well. Whether you’re a fan of the game or a fan of all things involving action, guns, and body armor, you can stream the first episode now. Best of all, a) it’s free, and b) it’s on YouTube — making it so easy to view this much-hyped adaptation that it basically feels illegal.

Of course, all of this is meant to get you so hooked on the show that you have no choice but to purchase the Paramount Plus streaming package to access the rest of the episodes besides the pilot. If you’re already a super-fan of the games, The Verge’s video games reporter said it offers a “far more compelling look at Master Chief than anything the games have done so far.” Or, if “Master Chief” means nothing to you and if you’re disregarding this news because you don’t like Halo or just don’t care about video games, rest assured, should your partner try to pull you into watching the show with them, that The Verge reports that “it’s nothing like the games.”
