Assuming it is actually popular on Netflix at the moment (the article is pretty vague and almost reads like an ad), I suppose this is an example of how differently an adaptation can be received depending on who is watching it. This show was panned by most Halo fans (or people familiar with the Halo games) when it aired on Paramount+, but to the casual viewers on Netflix maybe it's just another decent sci-fi series. I would guess that Netflix has been pushing it quite hard in their algorithms though, since it's a show that does have the potential to make money for them if it does well enough to stop subscription cancellations between other big shows or even justify a new season. I'm always pretty sceptical of how natural the hype around these trending shows is.
