    Production value and acting are relatively good, but the screenplay could be WAY better. The tone is funny and feels perfect for a Resident Evil series (It seems like a satire. There's a scene where people are doing goat yoga), but the way things unfold is so artificial, so fake... it's detrimental to the whole project.

    In a way, the project is like Umbrella's monsters: it's a chaotic mess. It's also like salted pop corn or chips; you can't stop consuming them, but it is still junk. It's another project that could have been rejected in order to fund a new season of Chambers, or The OA...

    Be cautious about the hate though... Some people will hate the show for political reasons.    … Expand

    a series woke up more than netflix, the Netflix gender agenda is more than notorious. the truth is that it is no longer surprising that they ruin series to force inclusion. It's sad, but Netflix should already disappear from streaming platforms.

    It is not going to win any awards but it is entertaining, despite what the fanboys are crying about.

    Takes the RE universe and makes its own thing, but that is too hard for the herd to understand, so they review bomb it, in most cases after watching only 10 mins (if that).

    Fanboys are the Zombies.

    Netflix, you might be aiming for a "AAA leader" ESG rating through your shows and movies, but what's the point if nobody wants to watch them? If you always prioritize cookie-cutter social justice "entertainment" production over viewing figures, good stories and good characters, you will fail, no matter how much ESG capital investment you receive.

    Within the first 5 minutes I gathered that the show has a relatively decent budget and yet the showrunners and crew don't have the talent to actually do anything proper with it. There is an air of cringe, corn, and amateurishness around the entire production and it reeks. Right off the bat, the "Jade" character of the future is a bad actress and the director has the camera right up in herWithin the first 5 minutes I gathered that the show has a relatively decent budget and yet the showrunners and crew don't have the talent to actually do anything proper with it. There is an air of cringe, corn, and amateurishness around the entire production and it reeks. Right off the bat, the "Jade" character of the future is a bad actress and the director has the camera right up in her face. It produces a very uncomfortable finished product that you just want to turn away from. Then Jade survives a run in with zombies that she should actually die from but the pack of zombies suddenly slows down for some reason and it causes her to only have to deal with one. Whatever.

    From there, we go back in time to a couple of teenage girls and one of the first things we hear is brazenly racist complaint about there being too many white people in this South African location. Whatever.

    From there a bunch of teenage drama stuff happens and I don't care about any of it. What is actually notable is the absolutely AWFUL musical score. Some of the scenes actually could have had tension if the music had been done right. It's totally bizarre how bad it is. Whatever.

    I could go on and on. The woke ideology has utterly ruined Hollywood and everybody with two eyes can see that. Let's go through the pattern that this show fits shall we?

    - Exploit a franchise with a built in fan base and create a product that is completely different. Check.
    - "Strong" women of color that actually come off as obnoxious and way too masculine. Check.
    - Not a single trace of femininity in female characters. Check.
    - Insanely hypocritical "Woke" messaging that openly hates white people. Check.
    - Are men of any color (especially fathers), demonized, put down, or emasculated? Check. I especially love the scene where Dr. Wesker's daughter Jade walks into the house, curses at her father, proceeds to hit his tablet which is on a work call, storms upstairs, and Dr. Wesker being the weak father that he is, literally does NOTHING. No discipline and no discussion about what just happened. Later on, Dr. Wesker openly says that "I'm not much of a father" right in front of his own child. Which is total nonsense because he is a single father who is providing a life of privilege for his children and no self respecting father would say those words in front of his child but whatever.
    - Broken moral code from the writing team who is likely comprised of rich people who live in a Hollywood bubble and have never actually experienced any real hardship. Check. Take for instance the scene where Jade Wesker is rude and makes demands to the man that just helped save her from being killed by a giant caterpillar. Is this supposed to be endearing?
    - Characters being race swapped for no reason? Check.

    I am sure I could make this checklist longer but that covers a lot of it.

    EDIT: I'm on episode 3. Oh. My. GOD. Yes, there are elements of the show that I do like; the lickers in the tunnel and the giant spider. The corrupt FDA/big pharma story elements with Umbrella. However, I want to pull my hair out with Billie and Jade hiding intensely important things from their father. So, I'm supposed to believe that a 14 year old girl would be experiencing intense symptoms after being bitten by an infected dog and would subsequently hide all of it from her father WHO IS A **** DOCTOR and worked on the dog himself. Kids are dumb but they aren't this dumb. Billie would have stayed at home and told her dad everything about what she was experiencing. But no....they have us watch her embarrass herself at school and it's just a total contrivance. I'm done. I can't go on.    … Expand

Even if this series didn't carry the Resident Evil name it would still be a 1 / 10 since there are the first few seasons of "The Walking Dead". Netflix has done much better zombie movies, and much better virus movies. This was the last thing keeping my sub up, I might renew it when the next season of Castlevania or The Witcher come out, but not for more Resident Evil. I can't get the 3 hours of my life back from the 1st 3 episodes, and if you can't grab attention in the first 3 episodes, then you failed at making a compelling story.

I'm not even gonna get into the wokeness but it's there and is annoying. I don't know why Netflix cannot find competent writers since some of their shows are great. The main probelm here though is the story is just boring, but a lot of the special effects are good so there is that. Some cool RE like creatures here and there.

    Great special effects, lickers, horrifying spiders, giant bugs, action is impressive and gory and the acting is solid.

Its a good zombie show but wrong of the producers and netflix to wokeify the ip with a black wesker and remove the white characters that to me is racist and why I've not given it a 8.
