Paramount has widely released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the 2022 TV show 'Halo: Season One.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Paramount's glossy SteelBook will show some handling fingerprints in the darker areas. The front panel offers a very simple image of the Master Chief,
left. Only his body's left side is visible. He is facing forward, but everything from above the neck and below the knees are hidden. He is holding his
helmet at his side. The show's title appears in white on the right below the X-axis. A brownish terrain and sky appear behind. The rear panel depicts the
alien artifact, center, that is central to this season's plotline. The object is lit from below and is given a light blue lighting accent color. Some studio logos
and legalese in white appear along the bottom. The spine is a brown color with the show's title center. A Paramount logo in white appears at the top.
Inside, discs one and two are stacked directly atop one another on the left and discs three, four, and five on the right. The inner print is presented as a
two panel spread that depicts a key and very Sci-Fi looking set piece from the show; it is heavily bathed in light blue light.

This is a fine SteelBook. The minimalist front panel is nice and the blue-light contrasts on the rear and inside offer a pleasing juxtaposition. The show is solid and the UHD presentation is great. Recommended.
