I watched the first four episodes and so far I am impressed. Don't watch this show if you are expecting a lot of heavy action although that's a fair expectation.
The more the show progresses the more I understand the need for the silver timeline - the tweaks in the story end up putting more focus on the spartan program story and Dr Halsey. There are multiple story lines running in parallel and through each story, you learn more about the UNSC, the Spartans, their training, and the universe in which they are living. The characters are well acted, and it all helps to brings more depth to the war with the convenant. Oh and final touch I did really enjoy, the show is totally family friendly, it's easy enough to get your dose of blood and swearing in other shows.
