Resident Evil (2022)

Watchseries; This is not a RE series. It has zero to do with the games. We are again at a point where a hack writer with an ego did "his own thing" and are now eyeballing his twitter wondering why the fans downright reject it. If this was launched under another name, the fans would not care about it. Nor would many others I suspect. It is a teen angst drama with a hint of zombies who borrowed the RE name for the PR. Very disappointing.

Resident Evil watchseries. I've seen the whole thing, somehow each episode gets worse than the last. It is honestly astounding how awful they made it, the amount of poor writing is so frustrating. Just don't waste your time, watch Better Call Saul. This makes me worried for that new HBO The Last of Us show...

Clearly, Netflix spent a good amount of money making this disaster. They are becoming like Hollywood and think they can just throw money at a movie or show and that's going to get it a winner. It's obvious that the people who signed off on this film are thinking just that! People are sick of this WOKE b.s. And it ruins the entertainment. We want stuff that looks real even if it's imaginary or fantasy. It doesn't mean that minorities can't have lead roles. It just means stop trying to FORCE it. The parts should go to the best actors and actresses. This show the and the people in it seem so forced which is why there is so much cringe going on. It's just obvious to anyone who wants to be real that the W O K E approach isn't what anyone wants except a few people who don't represent the majority. Netflix if you want to be successful in the future think Yellowstone and the shows which portray a realistic and authentic approach. This film could have been amazing with the special effects but that won't hold a show or even a movie. I just can't believe that you wasted so much on the film. If Netflix doesn't start producing some big hits in the near future then they are going to be swallowed up by the likes of Amazon or some other bigger company. It's shameful how lazy and absurd Netflix has become. Making shoes about a man carrying a baby! Just pathetic!

I've watched the first two episodes (so you thankfully don't have to) & can safely say - with a certain degree of confidence - you should simply add this show to the accumulating list of other substandard Netflix series which have already been consigned to history & forgotten by audiences; stuff like "Cursed" & "The Irregulars" etc. Commissioned by the streaming service (clearly hoping to lazily capitalise off of the recognisable brand by sheer association) to just fill their release slots & keep subscribers subscribed, in order to view something - ANYTHING - & their money rolling in every month. The quality obviously wasn't even considered before the season went in to production. It's all about profit.

This approach to content creation is painfully apparent moreso here than in most cases, in an egregiously unimaginative, badly written, clichéd & hammy first season, which acts as yet another sub-par installment to the franchise & a waste of the source material. A real shame, as this could've been a great sci-fi / horror series but alas, the potential's squandered. Can't say I'm enthused about continuing any further.

Yup this is trash . Not worth the watch . Too bad they took something that started out not bad ( first film) then progressively got worse then finally pushed the button and destroyed it . I say leave this franchise alone for a good 20 years then revisit it.

The music is horrible. Keeps popping up out of the blue and out of place.

Acting is terrible. How can they act like they are bored when their lives are in danger?

Story doesn't make sense. That's not Resident Evil, this is not the Raccoon City I grew up with.

Script is garbage. The debt is like a DOT, with no dimensions.

Netflix is a weird service. On one side it has a masterpiece like Stranger Things, and on the other side many shows like this.

Watch it and see yourself :)
