Warning: this review contains full spoilers for Halo: The TV Series Episode 2! If you need a refresher on where we left off, here's IGN's review for the Halo series premiere.
Now that we're two episodes deep into Paramount+'s long-awaited Halo series, the differences between the show and the source material are becoming even more apparent. Where the games are basically massive, atmospheric set pieces strung together by a thin narrative, the series is a much more character- and story-driven affair. It may not be what every Halo fan was expecting or even hoping for in an adaptation, but it's an approach that continues to pay off in Episode 2.
"Unbound" really flaunts the show's most significant deviation from the games, as we see a whole bunch of Pablo Schreiber's unmasked face over the course of this episode. Not only is Master Chief revealing his sweaty mug, he apparently has little compunction about walking around in public in nothing but a padded rubber undersuit. The Mandalorian this isn't.
But, to the series' credit, this seems like a necessary change. With Mando, there's always room for Pedro Pascal and/or his stunt doubles to rely on body language in place of facial expressions. But with something as clunky as Master Chief's Mjolnir VI armor, there's not a lot of room for genuine acting. This episode seems tasked with ripping off the Band-Aid and getting us all used to seeing an unmasked Chief. It's tough to imagine how this would have played out if he had kept the helmet on the entire time.
Schreiber's performance certainly benefits from having so much more face time. He successfully tiptoes that narrow line with his character, portraying Chief as a man whose emotions have been suppressed for decades and is only barely waking up to the world around him. It should be very interesting to watch that performance evolve over the course of the series as John recovers his lost memories and (presumably) undergoes the same transformation as his old friend Soren-066.

Halo has changed quite a bit in the jump from Xbox to live action, but that's not a bad thing. The series' second episode shows much more of the human side of John-117, while also quickly justifying the decision to reveal his face. This installment also succeeds in positioning Makee as a worthy antagonist in Master Chief's quest and highlighting th...

Halo's sophomore episode further highlights the show's differences from the games, and it's those differences that make it such an enjoyable watch.
