    typical netflix, shove a bunch of teens into it, add drama, zombies and some bad jokes, rate it R and it'll still be bad, I feel bad for the actors

    I just don't understand it. Why even use pay to use the "Resident Evil" name and then not make a RE show? You alienate and piss off the RE fans, non-fans will pass, and then you have no one caring. Its a terrible RE show and a subpar meh Zombie show. Everyone loses, no one cares. You shouldn't either.

    Wer stellt den cast zusammen?
    Die Schauspieler sind einfach schlecht .
    Dazu muss es natürlich LGBTQ gerecht sein und politisch korrekt. Ich finde es nur noch zum kotzen .

    Wann wird wieder Wert auf Qualität gesetzt?

    In fact, to write a Netflix series you need people who have never read, played or seen the basic work. You impose a thick political agenda on them, and you flush the toilet: Here you have your Netflix adaptation !

    This isn't Resident Evil. This is a teen drama with sprinkled zombies to move the drama forward. The writing is quite simply the worst I've seen in any type of format, movie, game or series. The characters are downright unlikable, and I couldn't care less about a forced drama of two obnoxious teens. This was supposed to be Resident Evil, not the OC.

    Yep...would definitely go with the user score on this one. The actors have been robbed by really poor everything else bar a few nice creature effects. And btw, I know we're suspending a good deal of disbelief here anyway, but bullets do not just bounce off vehicles - this isn't the A-Team circa 1983...

Por ejemplo, te presentan a un Wesker que se parece al original lo mismo que un huevo a una castaña... no solo por el hecho de cambiarle la raza (como no)sino por la caracterización que hace el actor. Luego meten a dos niñas insufribles (una vegana, eso sí) con historias de abuso escolar que no vienen al caso (pero que sirven a la agenda). También intentan salvar a los pobres conejitos de los experimentos. Y así sigue la cosa. Expand

    Netflix again with it´s guidelines how to ruin a beloved IP.
    When virtue signaling is more important than using a famous, beloved IP right, you know it can´t go well.
    This is the perfect example for it. Avoid it at all costs!

    Forced messaging, bad acting and terrible plot lines. Like a mash-up of glee and resident evil; half the show is about some horrible cringe inducing teenage drama. Main characters are more than terrible; storyline hops all over the place and makes no sense. Entire thing becomes

    TL:DR; I am going to cancel my Netflix.

    Look there is nothing really bad about the show, but there is a worse fate than being bad, and that is being utterly and completely forgetable. If you are going to carry the weight of the Resident Evil name, you have to do somethiing better than a run of the mill zombie virus movie. Even if this series didn't carry the Resident Evil name it

If you are going to carry the weight of the Resident Evil name, you have to do somethiing better than a run of the mill zombie virus movie. 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. Respect your time more than Netflix respected the source material, please, you are worth it.

    I'm gonna give this a 3 out of respect for Lance Reddick. He's good, the rest not so much. I'm confused as to why they even called this Resident Evil. Despite some references to the T-virus and obviously Umbrella Corp, this does not feel like RE at all. They could have just named it something else and it would probably be fine.

    The writing is terrible. The constant switching from future

    The writing is terrible. The constant switching from future to past is annoying. Characters here are hard to care about and totally one dimensional. 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. Honestly, even the script in the games has way more going on than the plot of this show. Terrible, what a waste.

    I’ve been a lifelong RE fan. Usually I can appreciate each form of RE content, video games, novels, graphic novels, and films and tv shows. But this is the first RE show I would 100% not recommend. Horrible directing, writing, casting and acting

    Sad to see they cannot make a good Resident Evil movie or show. Stop changing what people love about the series and just make something the fans will love.

    Seeing the previews and the focus being on everything but quality told us this was going to be bad. But we had no idea just how bad it was. Your going to fall asleep from how bad it is and how tired your eyes get from rolling them everytime someone talks.

    Poorly written piece of crap that only uses name to pull in viewers. If you like **** teenage dramas with bad acting and very stupid decision-making simply to drive the plot then this might be your cup of tea..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. there's nothing Resident Evil in this series, putting references and characters in the background doesn't make any of this interesting, we were already full of rage for the terrifying and ridiculous P Anderson movies, now comes with that, it was just to have made the first game with the Chris Redfild as protagonists and that's it, then in the other season I did Resident Evil 2 with clare and 3 with Jill, RE cod veronica with Chris and clare. It's simple. and we are also fed up with this Wolke ideology. Expand

    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.

    Given the six choppy hours that preceded “Resident Evil’s” rousing two-part ending, it’s hard to trust future seasons will stick with the bananas spirit Season 1 stumbled upon.
