    The article contains an appeal to authority and a dichotomous depiction. The appeal to authority is found in the statement from Paramount+, which includes praise for the show's producers and expresses support for a possible move to another outlet. The dichotomous depiction is seen in the description of Halo's journey as 'a long path', implying that any difficulties faced were due to external factors rather than inherent issues with the show itself.
