It ORIGINALLY started as a military comedy LOOSELY based on Halo, being kind of like M*A*S*H meets Clerks. The only reason it lasted this long was because Bungie and Microsoft didn't send them DMCA take downs and the content they offered was free (the DVDs were for people who like buying and collecting shit, often the case). It's only tangentially related to Halo, even now after inserting the UNSC and the Insurrection into the world that they made a substantial portion of themselves.

I'm sorry it's not terribly creative, but at least unlike 50 Shades, it's actually GOOD. It's comedy was written cleverly and it's drama was handled well.
