In the 51st minute of Halo – a military space-opera that's among the first shows on new streaming service Paramount+, with a one-episode taster on Channel 5 ...

What for much of the first episode is a sterile mix of trigger porn and talky world-building suddenly has potential for a bit of Replicant/Cylon nature-of-humanity philosophising, with a dash of strong/silent Mandalorian cool about the hero. Gamers have enjoyed a live-action version of a Halo level, but the rest of us have sat through a middling battle scene with murky protagonist motives. With all the lizard folk dispatched, the main guy says something tough and pithy in American action-movie idiom, overheard by one of those teens, a girl who is the only survivor of the rebel gang.
