Here's what can be confidently said about the new Paramount+ seriesAt first glance, the central plotline, involving a piece of alien tech that unlocks the main character's memories, is a bit too redolent of hoary science-fiction tropes that have been trotted out many times .
But there is an an attempt, as there was in the video game franchise on which the series is based, to build a science-fiction universe rife with factions — disparate cultures advancing different goals in a manner that creates uneasy alliances and shifting allegiances.
Syfy series also harbors a pitched distrust of both government and the military, and has featured several plotlines involving the sacrifice of human lives in the interest of political expediency.. But it's more gestured towards than viscerally demonstrated: In place of's Byzantine political maneuverings, we get a single scene of an Admiral cautioning the ambitious head of the series' Spartan super-soldier program against doing the thing she almost immediately proceeds to do.
There's also the nagging fact that the show's protagonist, Master Chief, is an armored soldier wearing a helmet that obscures his face, who incongruously takes a vulnerable orphan under his metallic wing.
