I really liked the series. Really sick of all this "stick exactly to the source material" bs. It's why shows keep getting cancelled. I hope they do make a 3rd season. Years ago adaptions from books were made that made creative liberties, but there wasnt this outpouring of bs because there was no social media.
A TV adaption of Halo was 20 years in the making as it was. Imagine expecting the studio to start over just because another streaming platform scooped them up. That's not going to happen. We'll be lucky if we get an ending for this story.
