Makes sense why shut down their TV/Entertainment studio if this was the quality coming out of it. Was hoping Halo would have been better but I'll still probably give it a look.

Ridley Scott's 'Halo' TV show is off to a very, very bad start
This show was only green-lit because of the Halo name and it will die after this season because if this pilot is any indication it’s not only a bad Halo adaptation, it’s just a bad show.
This show is so bad I'm buying a PS4. (Now that's a troll at the Verge. 
)
I'm not surprised. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.
the special effects were mortifying, dialogue was almost completely pointless, and the overall affect was that this thing wanted to replicate 300 but with random Halo dudes
it was just so cheesey and bizarre and i could barely get thru it 
If this is what Microsoft's original programming was going to look like, it's a good thing that Satya Nadella pulled the cord.
