‘Halo’ Sets Premiere Viewership Record For Paramount+

I mean, not really all that crazy? It's the first big exclusive show isn't it?
Also the Game Pass ultimate perk that was a 30 day trial definitely helps too

They had the Yellowstone spinoff (which is huge) and Star Trek stuff. This is definitely not surprising but it is still a big deal
There was also the three months for $1 deal.
Show looks promising i'm willing to give it a few more episodes before judging :D
I'm actually surprised by the first episode... went in not expecting much (learned the pitfalls of high expectations the hard way) and came out pretty satisfied.
I had a few gripes with it, some CGI pieces are not up to par... etc. But overall? pretty solid and made me interested in watching the rest of the season when it's available.

We all thought video game movies would be the next big thing when out of nowhere the TV/streaming adaptations was where it's at.. So much coming down the pipeline, and I'm betting that they're going to be HUGE.
I wish streaming services were more transparent about their numbers, too hard to gauge how well a show is actually doing (which of course is by design).
What. No. Star Trek. It's actually interesting how a forum as nerdy as resetera seems to think Trek is nothing.
congrats to everyone involved. I enjoyed the first episode very much. It's great to have all my favorite scifi shows in one place.
No, the first non-star trek big exclusive was iCarly
Yeah, I had fun with the first episode last night. One detail I did like was how accurately they showcased just how nasty/OP the Covenant's plasma weapons really are.
And The Mayor of Kingstown shortly after, with Jeremy Renner and Kyle Chandler.
It would have been fine it didn't. It has multiple very successful Star Trek Shows, 1883 + i think 2 more Yellowstone spinoffs, icarly, Mayor of Kingstown etc.
Paramount+ is full of bangers.
Star Trek dominates Paramount Plus in terms of content and viewership. ST: Discovery is the top-rated show on P+, even surpassing Yellowstone. But I suspect that Halo will eventually beat it out.
If Halo keeps on going like this, then it'll no doubt lead to other spin-offs.
The first episode exceeded my low expectations. I'm not totally sold on the series, but I'm sure I'll watch episode 2. At a minimum it was fun from a fan service perspective.
I didn't think so. I was actually surprised how graphic the violence was.

Played all Halo games, never cared much about the plot. Watched the first episode yesterday with my wife and we both liked it. I mean, I'm not expecting The Expanse here, just a fun Halo show with cool alien stuff, and I got it.
I picked up a month of P+ to watch Discovery since the last episode aired and I was binged it all in 2 days. I also wanted to see if Picard was going to be any good this season as I didn't care for the last. P+ doesn't have enough for me to stay subscribed but I'll pick up a month or two when a season is over and binge a show, there isn't anything they have that gives me fear of missing out. I have never been a fan of the EU Halo universe besides the first few paper backs. ended up watching Halo and thought it was ok so far, depends on where it goes. There should have been some synergy like special armor in Halo Infinite promoting the show.

Paramount+ is just a rebrand after CBS and Viacom re-merged. Before that it was CBS All-Access and has been around since 2014. 8 years is already "long for this world" by tech standards.
Not surprising as there is not much else there generating buzz if you don't care about Star Trek. That and they ware pretty much giving away three months for free.
I do see a few movies I'll try and watch before my sub ends though like quiet place ii

I'm excited to see them reach a halo in the show
I had super low expectations and it was entertaining at times.
The human girl with the covenant is fucking dumb and will be cringe but I liked seeing the Elites vs the Spartans

Ngl I think the first 15 or so minutes of the show sold a lot of people on sticking around more than anything pre-release did. Even the halo subreddit has had a surprising change of heart towards it.
I know for me at least that opening plasma shot had me go from laying down and tuning in to sitting straight up and paying full attention lol
Hope the success continues because I believe there's a lot of opportunity for great storytelling in the Halo universe.

Paramount+ has Star Trek, which we know is extremely popular in streaming. So it doing better than their flagship Star Trek show that's still ongoing, is a pretty big deal. Especially considering Star Trek is going through resurgence and is at its peak since TNG era as Discovery has been has found its place and been great past few seasons and other shows are doing well too.

Huh. Well, I found out before the Halo series that I had a sub since my wife signed up sometime last year unbeknownst to me. No idea what for. Will keep for the rest of the season then reassess; something I need to do with God knows how many other streaming services..
Looking forward to checking it out myself eventually as the show looked really cool. I'm behind on a lot of shows but it's definitely on my watch list. :)
I really enjoyed the first episode and was really caught off guard how violent and brutal it was.
I still don't really care for or like the human Covanant character they created though.

Interesting. So the only competition are the truly truly terrible Alex Kurtzman Star Trek shows. In that case its still not a notable feat at all.
amazing to see the show do so well. It was a very good pilot and I enjoyed it a lot cant wait for more, glad it has been renewed for a second season. Love seeing a huge gaming franchise like this translate this well to TV.
Big starts can easily fizzle out if it doesn't keep audiences interested and excited. The critics who have seen more, mostly don't really seem to like it that much. Of course, that might not matter. But the signs aren't all that good.
