Paramount has widely released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the second season of the TV show 'Halo.' 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 SteelBook is largely glossy and smooth. On the front, Master Chief is kneeling, helmet off at his feet, mourning inside a battlefield
cemetery of rifles and helmets. The background is a bleak gray and there is very little color elsewhere. The show's title appears in white top left
("Season Two" appears in an orange color). The rear panel is likewise bleak, showing more of the wartime memorials along the gray background. The
spine is gray with the show's title, center, and a white Paramount logo at the top.
Inside, the four discs are situated two per side, stacked atop one another. The inner print is a two-panel spread that shows Master Chief on the left,
facing right, rifle drawn, with the front half of the rifle on the right-hand side. He appears against a rather bleak gray backdrop.

Though bleak, this is a nice SteelBook that captures the season's tone quite well. It's not design genius, but it's very effective and should satisfy collectors and show and franchise enthusiasts alike. The season is solid and the UHD A/V qualities are very, very good. Recommended!
