Resident Evil: La serie

This show was cancelled by Netflix after 1 season. No surprise at all... what an awful show. This show might have done immense damage to the franchise. Not a single episode was good enough to keep interest in the show. Better save yourself some time and not watch it.

Script, acting, direction everything sucks. What a waste of subscribers' money. They could have spent all this money on some better show and material. This show just is t Resident Evil material.

Bottom line: waste of money and time. Resident Evil Franchise down the drain... some consolation is that Netflix realize this crap and did not commit to make another painful and wasteful season.

So firstly yes I am a huge resi fan I have stuck with the rough along with the smooth , read comics ,books , fan fiction , the first batch of movies that progressively worse , the CGI movies which are pretty good and the new movie which has the same or very similar issues to this .

However I am also a movie fan and will give Most things a watch and like to suspend disbelief and get lost in a good series or movie even if changes are made from the source material as long as they are for the better .

This series so far is just a check list for the modern audience , ticking all the culture boxes for the sake of it , which is tiresome now as it's every single movie or series that comes out it's not original it doesn't add anything they do it just because .

But let's remove that issue and go back to the resi franchise , if you took the name Wesker and umbrella out of this it could be any generic Netflix zombie show . Yes the creatures are cool but other than that it's pretty poor.

I'm not sure why we can't just stick to the lore , the characters and do it for the fans , even a prequel series in the arklay mountains would or could be awesome leading upto the Spencer mansion incident , but we get this mess.

The characters are bland and cliche , the story is pretty predictable , and whilst I'm all in for character building and story this tries too hard with what are pretty much boring cardboard cutout characters .

It doesn't know what to do with them either , jumping from the modern setting to the future it drags it's feet and becomes frustrating , and the pacing is all off , one minute you will be in what feels like a tense horror scene and the next something that belongs in a Nickelodeon teenage sitcom .

The resident evil games especially the earlier ones have always been a bit hokey and had weird and whacky characters but this series I think tries to have serious characters but just really poorly acted , and when a hokey character does come in it feels really cringeworthy .

Like i say at the minute I'm at a stage where I want to turn it off but IV commited so far and will force myself to the end to hope things get better and we get more ties to the lore and characters we all love .

The guys who are giving it 1 star and just blasting it I would ignore I was going to give it 4 stars but just as I was finishing up they have just shoehorned a character from one of the games in which felt tacky and awful and again had no purpose other than just because .

Besides some famous name dropping there is really nothing Resident Evils about this. Incomprehensible that they can turn a horror genre into teenagers high school drama show. Typical again that netflix is killing this series. How hard can it be to just stick to the game characters something that viewers love to see reflected in the series. The high Woke score is also really something to get sick of.

Pain and effort to be able to see 3 episodes. Happy and excellent choice that it has been cancelled. Against my better judgement, I hope that Netflix will stop injecting their own agenda into series because as we have seen before, that just doesn't work.

Much like some others, my previous review got removed as some clearly got triggered, despite adhering to community guidelines. Thankfully this show got cancelled due to the consensus that this a simply an objectively low quality production.

The intellectual property was already exhausted due to the number of movies in the franchise starring Milla Jovovich. The previous movies declined in quality by the end and than failing yet again to revive it.

There's nothing redeemable about this show, clearly. As it is pretty much a self own. It is badly written, casted and actors look like the phoned it in, other than the teen sisters who were over dramatic. I used to like Resident Evil quite a bit, but this another example that they should just leave some intellectual property alone.

That should be the title of the show because it has nothing to do with resident evil.

Unlike a lot of the reviewers here, I did not watch this with any expectation of resemblance of games or the original movies. I was just looking for good entertainment. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

First of all, the teenage drama, and my god is the drama bad! After couple of episodes, I was skipping every scene with the teenagers in it. Secondly, the ending is just disastrous. I would have probably given this a 5 star but the last 2 episodes are so bad that they probably average a 2.

I should have checked the ratings before I dove into this one but the stupid "No. 1 in the US" for a few days now got me. Thought it must be good. Unfortunately, it is not. Save your time and don't watch this.
