Season 1 Review: Rather than giving video game fans what they want or ignoring video game fans and just doing what Paul W.S. Anderson wants, it seems like the team behind Infinite Darkness just disregarded everybody and found some room in the Resident Evil canon where they could tell a story about government conspiracies and zombie-related PTSD and lovable pretty boy Leon Kennedy. ... But freeing itself from those expectations has resulted in a TV show that, while far from a masterpiece, exceeds most expectations of a video game adaptation. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s a lot to dig in here in how Americanized propaganda finds itself even in Japanese-made survival horror franchises, and how China is consistently portrayed as a squalid hive of villains, but Infinite Darkness has a barrier to entry due to its heavy reliance on a preexisting investment in the greater Resident Evil series.

Season 1 Review: Infinite Darkness is doing its own thing. Unfortunately, that thing isn’t terribly compelling, given all the study prep Infinite Darkness expects viewers to do. Read full review

Truly one of the best shows on Netflix. The ones speaking negatively about it are kinda retarded. This was obviously made for the fans. Beautiful visuals, terrifying bio-weapons, government conspiracies, sexy ladies, super agent Leon... this is Resident Evil at its finest. Fingers crossedTruly one of the best shows on Netflix.

Bring it on Capcom!… Expand

An interesting and mysterious story for which not much effort has been made. attractive action In general, if the audience is looking for a strong script, they will be disappointed with this animation But for once to see, especially for Resident Evil fans.

Resident Evil revient ! et cette fois non pas avec un film mais une série animée… en fort belle image de synthèse, ma foi. Mais 4 épisodes seulement, ce qui fait un peu court… j’ignore s’il y aura une autre saison vu que la conclusion… conclut ce petit arc narratif en soi.

Un peu court certes mais très dense, car on ne s’ennuie pas une seconde ! évidemment, quelques raccourcis peuvent faire tiquer mais les rebondissements sont bien amenés dans l’ensemble… RE n’est de toute façon pas une franchise d’un grand réalisme, c’est peu de le dire… mais elle sait briller dans ses adaptations sur le petit ou grand écran (en général), nous faisant oublier les jeux tout pourris dont elle est issue, bien entendu.

A noter que la réalisation (en dehors de l’aspect graphique) reste étonnamment soignée et vraiment bien fichue (tout comme l’excellente VF), surtout pour une série… dommage qu’elle soit aussi courte, tout de même ! on en voulait davantage… mais wait & see, après tout !… Expand

First reaction was i thought the show, that i just got done watching, was ok, the story can always be improved, charters are ok but could be better, overall it should be improved a little, if there is a season two, hopefully they stick to the source stuff, if they continue with this i wouldFirst reaction was i thought the show, that i just got done watching, was ok, the story can always be improved, charters are ok but could be better, overall it should be improved a little, if there is a season two, hopefully they stick to the source stuff, if they continue with this i would be ok and probably continue to watch.

Each episode is only 20 minutes after you strip out the padding. The story is nonsensical at times, which obliterates immersion regularly. The animation varies from excellent, to complete garbage. The dialogue is mostly childish and is strictly there to pad out the run time. Many of theEach episode is only 20 minutes after you strip out the padding. The story is nonsensical at times, which obliterates immersion regularly. The animation varies from excellent, to complete garbage. The dialogue is mostly childish and is strictly there to pad out the run time. Many of the details are comical such as being 12 km from the coast of a country is just STARTING to enter their territory, or a lot of packing tape on door handle of an apartment being proof no one had been inside (as if tape cannot easily be replaced). This was clearly not written by anyone that cares about anything other than sounding cool. I wanted to stop watching after episode 2 but pushed through the other two so that I could leave a comprehensive review.

This is a 4/10 unless you are knowledgeable about Resident Evil (which the people behind this were clearly not), then it would be in the 1-2/10 range due to all the broken continuity.… Expand
