Packed with humor, heart, and some of the coolest action scenes of the year, it’s a show that will leaving you alternatively screaming at and cheering for your television. Resident Evil is simply a great time. Read full review

Resident Evil is a zombie caper that knows what it’s here for. And that is to fill the screen with rampaging hordes of undead and to reassure horror fans that there is life after The Walking Dead. Those boxes are ticked in dead impressive fashion. Read full review

Not everything in this show clicks. The biggest problem is the character of Jade, who is, regrettably, super-annoying in both timelines. ... Most of the show works quite well, however. Read full review

“Resident Evil” doesn’t reinvent the zombie wheel, as it juggles too many storylines without honing in on one vision for the series. Fans of the series of the genre may find some enjoyable moments amid this apocalyptic tale. Reddick also gives a dynamic performance as the show progresses, but his absence from scenes leaves viewers hungry for more. Read full review

Ultimately though, after an okay opening episode, Resident Evil settles into an action-adventure slog rather than anything remotely new or scary. The complete absence of “horror” here is an egregious sin. Read full review

If you’re going to make an “RE” show, either lean into its rich history or do something that adds an entirely new chapter to it, but don’t fall into the unconfident valley in the middle, which is where this show feels content to live. Read full review

Flounders under poor execution, awkward performances, and fan service that rarely works. There's a great Resident Evil adaptation in here somewhere, but like the zeroes scattered throughout this show, Resident Evil mostly just bites. Read full review

they have created a new story based on video games, they are structuring it very well with quotes here and there. Hopefully in the future, if they have important characters from the video game to appear, they will do it well

Most of bad critics are from edgy old men that are angry that some juvenile drama is not about them, or for them.

The series is horrible from beginning to end, it has nothing to do with the games, it's a bad adaptation, with a horrible story and a weak script, lines and scenes that are shameful, and the CGI that even a child would do better , they shouldn't even call it Resident evil, because apart fromThe series is horrible from beginning to end, it has nothing to do with the games, it's a bad adaptation, with a horrible story and a weak script, lines and scenes that are shameful, and the CGI that even a child would do better , they shouldn't even call it Resident evil, because apart from the name I wouldn't identify that it's an adaptation of Resident evil it's very cliché, confusing and if I can sum up this serious atrocity in one word. If you want to watch it at your own risk. No more words… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es la peor mierda de serie y dejemos de lado los cambios raciales, los nuevos personajes (en su mayoría mujeres), que la serie no tiene ni 10 % de concepto en el que se basa osea resident evil, lo peor y digo lo peor es la trama creamos que es una obra nueva es decir algo nuevo y partiendo de eso uno dice desde el capítulo 1 ¡Que clase de mierda es esto! Si llegas al final de la serie que muy pocos conozco la hayan terminado, te das cuenta que todo es un sin sentido y me explico,
-la prota del pasado es una morra caga leches son razon, mal criada, agresiva, consentida, etc. Todo esto sin razón solo porque la trama lo requiere y ya, la magia del libreto. Con esto caga la odias y dices enserio a quien le agrada o que estereotipo quiere dejar Netflix que hay que ser un adolescente de mierda sin sentido y eso está bien y que debemos dejar como adultos que eso pase y está bien.
- La prota del futuro es igual o peor de caga leches, siempre muy pro sin explicación, traumada por un hecho con su hermana en su pasado que es una mera tontería (tomando en cuenta todo lo que pasó y como le perdona otras cosas o la entiende), solo le importa ella y su objetivo dejando de lado que sea una heroína y tomando decisiones morales a conveniencia.
-Ambas Protas pasado y futuro se pasan cagando a todos, todos mueren por ellas, se salvan de todo de la nada y sin sentido, todo les sale como quieren casi siempre, en cuestión del guión todo se adapta aunque no tenga lógica a ellas.
-La trama de toda la serie es tan estúpida, ya sin tocar a los otros personajes y sus tramas (idiotas en su mayoría) y una construcción mediocre que no crea afinidad con ninguno o de momentos más con personajes secundarios que con Protas y antagonistas. Volviendo a la trama es un sin sentido tras sin sentido que uno dice carajo extraño rápido y furioso ya que tiene más lógica cuando un coche llega al espacio que está mierda.
-Los efectos son buenos en todo menos en los zombies que de hecho están sumamente mediocres.
-Al final si amas el concepto original osea el videojuego no veas esto mejor ve la película de regreso a reacción city o las películas antiguas (ya estoy blasfemando pero esto da más asco que esas adaptaciones hasta hace extrañarás) o sigue jugando los juegos.

Si eres nuevo y quieres ver una serie sin ningún contexto de igual forma no gastes tu tiempo, es una mierda a nivel de lo más mierda que he visto o si solo te importa acción sin sentido pues hay más acción en otras series.

-Por último no estoy en contra de la inclusión pero enserio creo está serie es la obra maestra de la inclusión sin sentido de Netflix tanto que no es nada orgánica. Forzada, forzada, forzada y forzada.… Expand

This is the first show that qualifies for a negative rating system. If you watched part of the first episode then you deserve damages from Netflix. Diversity and Inclusivity was clearly the only consideration for this series, not writing, plot, or story. -2 / 10

Wesker is not black. The casting here is transparently following the current socio-political agenda. And let's face it, this only works one way, doesn't it? daptations should be as faithful as possible, not change character's race or gender just to tick boxes, which this definitely is.

Lance Reddick is a good actor, but he should never have been cast in this role. And even he can't save this awful show anyway. This is easily one of the worst, laziest adaptations of Resident Evil we've ever seen - and some of the movies have been terrible!
Fans of RE: avoid this at all costs.
Casting directors: Stop casting based on a check list of representation and forced diversity! It's insulting!… Expand
