Netflix’s Resident Evil series currently has one of its lowest audience scores.

User reviews for Resident Evil have been incredibly negative. User Jhonatan V said, “Serial disaster, has nothing to do with Resident Evil”.

Another 2-star review from user Ken C wrote, “it is entertaining enough if you don’t pay attention to it. Interesting spin at the RE storyline”. A 3-star review, by self-described “Resident Evil diehard apologist and enjoyer” Ponpo C calls it, “one of the weirdest pieces of media [I’ve] ever seen”. “It’s like Dragonball Evolution in the sense that it’s so disconnected from the source material that if you removed a few elements you wouldn’t even know it was an adaptation.”

Awful show

Not a fan of all the flashback & forth.

Those 'scorea' are barely real. Its become common practice for random people to publically hate everything they see, even if they enjoyed it. Just because its funny. This started with Gamers, and it spread to so many industries. Many of them don't even use real words....

Copying The Strain I see.

Not surprised the movie’s has always been trash

I honestly like it, a lot

I had fun watching it for how incompetent it was as just being a show. Lance looked like he had a lot of fun as did the rest of the cast. I actually want a season 2 because i need more of this David Cage level writing/presentation/development.

If this was a new IP or series it would be loved better. But adding RE monsters and Wesker will not save it. Hollywood and Netflix need to learn if it aint broke dont change it. RE already had diversity and LGBT characters in it. Why change that

I don't know about you but I'm giving it a chance. I started with watching the trailer last night fell asleep half way through (tbf i was very tired) but i am completely planning to give it another go!

This isn't surprising. People love to hate on Resident Evil, even if there's no logical reason to do so. Look at the comments anytime literally any new re game, movie or show is announced and people will be hating before its even been made lmfaooo! In actuality the show was 🔥.

Love to hear it

It's the best Resident Evil yet..

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 blade!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Unpopular opinion iv played all the games and consumed the lore, I'm really enjoying the series

Yea it was weird but I got my enjoyment out of it the ending was bad tho 😔

People defending this arent fans. They just see a decent zombie show and think wtf is wrong with the RE fanbase? Just think about any game you like, changing literally everything about it and making a series with the name. It wouldn't be a bad show without the RE name.

It's a shit show. Pun intended.

Good

This is not resident evil, nothing is correct about it, typical boomer b*** sh** “ot it has Zombies/master chief/any loved character? Than you know… I KNOW BETTER than these little nerds….” Well you know, videogame adapters…. Dont do video games adaptations…

The saddest thing for me is that it’s not an awful show, it’s actually enjoyable and shows more respect for the lord than Anderson’s movies. I’m just sick of people blaming this ‘woke’ agenda; just accept he’s a fictional character and I think Lance Reddick rocked.

I watched the whole thing and don't remember there being a licker in it? When was it there lol

it suuuuuuuuuuucks, as noted by the fan score. And my .02.

Doesn't feel faithful to Resident Evil. It is very CW like in it's direction. But I enjoyed the monsters pulled from the game, lickers, dogs etc. Once Wesker was explained I really enjoyed the character and actor choice. It's not a bad show just not what fans were looking for.

They should have never canceled the OA it's been all downhill since

They were soundly beaten by this, far far better. And that's saying something.

Big budget. Bad plot. Bad script. =/ A Winner. *SPOILERS* Pros. Blade. Bert. Dua Lipa dance. Giant Harryhausen Crocodile.

Pretty sure this one line killed the show for most of the RE fans.

Half of these comments didn't even watch the show. They showed OG wesker as a white man in a vat. An the referenced him dying in a volcano. People want to claim that they aren't racist but can't handle great actors being of a different race. Seems a little sus

Don't get me wrong but wesker a black guy, never was. 2 daughters? Never had. I watched the first episode for 10 mins and had to turn it off, i wanted to try but it just doesnt work. Hell the zombies look way better in walking dead then in this show.

I mean, 2 girls break in a a top secret biological weapons lab, with just a voice record from a guy, with no security guards at all in the whole building, learning how to dissable cameras offscreen 'looking for it in internet' and accessing to all company data with an easy passw.

Are we at all surprised?

ign loved it

It looked like it targeted people that have never watched RE. Was just a family drama show with zombie and RE references. So everyone that HAD seen RE were expecting more.

Well-deserved too, from what I saw.

Jade Wesker gives me serious Michael Burnham( Star Trek Discovery) vibes.. she's soooo capable!

Apparently there are some Netflix fanboys on imdb right now who can't handle the fact that Netflix fucked up again and want to tell us RE fans how to accept RE and that what we've seen isn't so bad after all and that we're just haters. Exactly. Which is more true: (1)

Its not a resident evil show, i don't know what it is but it ain't it

Why they even make movies from video games.. My cousin made me watch silent hill yesterday. 😂 I got headache.

It’s pretty decent people are just followers

I finished watching it yesterday. As a general show it was actually fairly enjoyable.

According to IGN, it the strongest adaptation 😂😂

As it should be, truly painful viewing

No Leon no party

Honestly I like it. The dude playin Wesker is an awesome actor. The bouncing back and forth from pst to present is a lil annoying at times but I can deal. Always down for expanding the world. I already know the story of the redfields, Leon, and valentine.

The show is amazing! Love it.

of course. it's not resident evil. it took resident evil's skin and shoved a CW teen drama in there and wrapped it up, which, when I think about it, is kind of resident evil... but not something I want to watch.

And for good reason

Resident evil fan boys getting upset it isn’t based on Leon and his lovely hair! It’s half decent!!

Gee I wonder why.

But IGN and GameStop said it is the best adaptation to date. And let's not forget The Guardian giving it 4/5 stars

Cause it's shit

It was good for the first half... Then went all down hill.......

It was pretty cringe ngl

...oh and get the Licker off the advertising poster too

Kandaalaaa

this show is just expried milk mixed with cat litter and bit topping of pigeon shit

Usual Netflix trash. Race swapping, lead woman trope, not following the source material. Dreadful

I thought it was good. It has some nice nods to the games and other zombie games like the lawnmower and typewriter. Sylens was awesome also 😁

I thought the pic was bacon at first glance. Then I realized it's a fuckup failure of a show...

Dis about to be canceled I already know it

Adam Wesker in the series was amazing! rest was uhhhhhh

I really tried to give it a chance but i barelly survived at the 2nd episode i just couldnt

😂😂😂😂😂

the choice to make this a teenager drama was a mistake

I tried watching it. It’s not good

hooo c'est de la merde 👎

I am a fan since RE1 and honestly? The show was dope. It's really good and doesn't even touch the premise of 'classic RE' bcs its canon. Hell they even mentioned something from RE5. The show is really good and fun. Fingers crossed for Season 2.

I love that the art has a creature on it, even though creature scenes make up like 5% of the show. Pacing was a mess, acting was ass except for Lance Reddick, and the attempts at the corny humor from the games were cringe. Just a CW style teen drama version of RE.

L script

I thought it was good I mean compared to all the other RE movie adaptations…😦

The only good adaptations of Resident Evil are the CGI ones. All of the live action ones so far have been awful.

This just proves to me that all the people saying it's garbage didn't even watch it.

Its not bad by any means. I think its more of a trend now to spit on Resident evil outside of games. The plot has some serious wtf moments, but its resident evil. It never made any sense anyway. Jade as a lead role was very annoying. Albert was really good. I loves him

Wasted franchise

The vocal side of the Resident Evil fanbase is so bizarre though - they seem to ADORE all the campy goofball 'I can dodge bullets & action hero cop is on my tail, better turn into a dug made of fudge' stuff, & RAGE HARD if the precious 'canon' bends. Mate it's zombie Eastenders

thats strange cause if you ask GameSpot or IGN theyll tell you how utterly amazing and chart smashing it is..... hmmm wonder how that happens. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 all jokes aside though the show is garbage

I'm enjoying it

Didn't think it was that bad honestly... 🤔

The show isn't that bad people are just being weenies and purists. Writing, pacing, and acting are good(not great, not amazing). It deserves more than a 3 but it ain't no 10 either.

It’s a woke tv show Everything about it makes me angry I give it a plus for actually showing accurate lickers, spider and worm that’s all Screw the lesbo CEO ew Wesker is not black( I love the actor and respect him a lot ) And jade is so stupid and cringy

I mean, I don’t like it so far, but that doesn’t seem fair. I feel like there’s plenty more worse shows on Netflix.

I liked it 😟 At certain parts I didnt like the flash back part ngl

Pros: Episode 1 was a solid start The lickers are awesome as per usual Cons: Everything else

Yeah... because it's dog shit. lol

I watched the first episode again tonight with the wife, and will continue tomorrow. I’m intrigued now.

Tapped out after 3 episodes.

I stopped watching at the flashback seen in episode one I just couldn’t handle the dialogue

Cause it's not really anything like the game etc

And for a great reason cause this show is literally the worst

The audience are teenagers who doesn't even know resident evil. This series is so bad

I loved the show, and I’m usually one of the first one to complain about forced diversity, I think everyone fit there roles perfectly.

Can't have a good series when one of your characters say 'Zootopia porn'.

The producers had NEVER played any Resident Evil game.

It was kinda shit.

Tbh I liked it the cgi was pretty good only thing I would change is the weird writing choices like zootopia porn and I might go crazy and attack people so let’s go to a party ? Didn’t make sense

very weird dialogue choices made me cringe a heck of a lot during this. The story was okay at best just.. yeah didn't hit home in any regard

mantisonada this one King

Dont use RE name it will be a decent series

What crap deservers.

That’s weird because a lot of people on the internet have a lot of opinions about it.

Lance Reddick made it watchable for me, it's every bit as cringe as I expected but I still weirdly enjoyed it.

Imagine that..

Duh this shit is ass. Stop making these!!

Couldn't watch the terrible first episode it was dull and boring and had nothing todo with raccoon city

LOL

I love when you see a tweet and then see another conflicting tweet on your TL 🤣knew this wasn’t going to be good haha

Same with halo s fans if it's not like the video game is bad ... No is good is a good show ... Fan are just std

Cuz it's SUCKS

A less than decent zombie show, a god awful resident evil show. The acting and graphics/cinematography was the only thing keeping me going. The only thing that felt RE about it was everything they forced into there. Hopefully the second season can make it more natural

Most of the people that hate this series will say their fav resident evil game is number 4....So automatically what they say is invalid.

Good 😈

assiste Analuiza_ttt

I wonder why

Por qué es basura y ya

For people who are mad think of it like this, OG Albert Wesker from the game made clones (OG Clones) and one of the clones made clones of himself. You can just say that the Wesker from the show is a clone of the one from the game.

I never knew this came out

The show is a bunch of Americans thinking they can do better than the Japanese creators of the franchise. Western companies should not be adapting manga, anime and Eastern developed video games into television and movies.

It’s honestly not low enough. Arguably the worst show on netflix

Because it’s

black ppl arent allowed to be new characters because y'all will hate them and not allowed to be ur fav wh*te characters bc y'all will hate them.... i know what you are

Why can't anyone make a movie based off a video game and make it LIKE THE FUCKING, GAME!?!?!?!? The story is there, the share ters, the visuals, the action! Just copy that but irl! Jfc!

That’s pretty crazy. I thought they did a really good job with this. Interesting.

Im enjoying it

Netflix is for teenagers.

Can you guys guess what TV shows will be canceled next? 🙂

Garbage

But IGN said it was good, I have been lied to.

What did they expect?

They can go lower.

If it would have been named anything except RE it would have been great but they fucking know better than putting that name on it and not following any story.

Why do we still try to make game movies

I liked the show and I played the games. The season two better hurry the fuck up

Someone else also has a MiniDisc player Nice!

Gave it about 4 minutes. Shut it off.

SEASON 2! SEASON 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shouldn't be hard to make RESIDENT EVIL.

Good, I hope they learn one thing or two... Jeez... Why in the world....

I was skeptical but it's actually good. Yes the story takes some liberties with characters and location but the story being told is well done.

Thank you for telling the truth! Every other outlet seems delusional

And I'll keep saving people to watch that travesty of a show

I cringed through half of the first season… but as a resident evil fan I’ll watch through it.. just hopefully some of the game back story get added in.: so far a black wesker is a little different but love they are trying to add different minority to the series

Yeah it isn’t terrible but their are better options on streaming and it failed to hold my interest.

People are just babies. I’ve played every game seen every movie. Huge fan. And yeah it’s not exactly in line with the vibe of the other mediums but it’s still good and has good plot elements.

Question for Resident Evil fans who have watched this: Im fairly familiar with the games and story line - why is this Netflix series so bad?

The only thing that saturated the show was the 'heavy' teen bopper influence, it's Netflix though.... They love the teen drama element.

Good stop making these daily Resident Evil adaptations already.

Would help if Netflix released weekly instead of all at once. Give people time to talk and theorize the next episode build hype. Dumps kill buzz unless it’s something just so dumb it is good like squid games.

I really enjoyed it, well done everyone involved

and they took out RE Damnation and RE Vendetta. WHY?!!!!

deserved

It’s honestly just stupid…

Idk to hear it from other sites they say how great it is,I don’t see how the hell cause I thought it was straight garbage

I mean, all I ask is a smooth and sexy live action Leon S. Kennedy. Is that too much?

cause it sucks!

I liked it, I hope season 2 will come out some day

Because is pure garbage

But…how come? I mean, I just can’t figure out why people would be disappointed at all

Triste foi quem achou que o publico iria amar.

Alright, now I have to watch it bc of these ratings.

I don't like the fact Wesker is black. Not because I have a problem with black people, but because Wesker isn't lack, lol. He just isn't. The series just screams 'virtue signaling!' And I hate that shit. It's so disingenuous.

Good

Cuz its not good. 8 episodes is too short for a story filled with so many flashback sequences and buildup. Netflix literally makes its 'seasons' shorter ever year. First 13.....then 11....then 10.....now 8. This format leads to bad storytelling.

The first movie, and the animated films are the best. I don't know why the other live action adaptations struggle so much.

Thought this was bacon

Because it sucks, RE in name only. Another Netflix raceswap crap writing mess

Bad shows are not, could be because no one knew it fucking came out... I saw the trailer a while back and never heard anything since... Maybe I work too much or other shows were released around the same time, that were marketed better?

It's amazing how it manages to get worse every episode

It’s not bad.. so far.. on EP6.

Yea watched the first episode, i don't really think i can watch another episode. There was actually a successful movie adaptation that does not have much similarities with the game version so saying 'the fanbase are idiots' really doesn't say anything. Need more downvotes i guess

The problem is people don't want to accept the resident evil games are poorly written which means any content produced from them will be poorly written also it's going to take a good writer to come in and actually pick apart what needs to go and what needs to say

Rightfully so. The show is so end to end.

黑化危机

It's cringe as hell.

maybe next time focus on the story you want to tell and not how to appease the loud and always offended minority.

Netflix is dead.

It’s awful

Loved the new Blade Movie

With good reason

this crap made me appreciate the old resident evil movies even more, am about to rewatch them actually 😂

That sucks I was really enjoying the show I hope they make another season still

I can't believe there is people that keep trying with resident evil movies/series ...

Xbox better....oh wait, settle down, I meant Paramount+ better.

I guess motherfuckers have no taste, because this is bullshit. Resident Evil on Netflix was fucking dope and I hope they renew it for another season

You can tell which reviews are paid. GameSpot has been posting this multiple times a day everywhere

The curse of game adaptions. You will always piss off the gamers if you try to do something different or new. Its a good show and has promise but it will likely be canned because of so many basement dwellers.

I like how it’s a post apocalyptic setting, but the main chick has time to go to the hair salon to get her hair did

Just gonna put this here lmao

Netflix is going down just like blockbuster

Shocking no one

Gamer audience

Well yeah it sucks!!

Tried to watch a little of it the other night. It was… weird.

Death Note adaptation isnt that bad... Finally

Hmm, I wonder why that happened

As it should.

I don't get. I thought it was great!

Not surprised. I'm in no rush to watch either....

It’s simply just not RE

Of course it does!! I barely made it through the 1st episode and it was such a boring unoriginal piece of garbage. Dozens of characters in the franchise and netflix took the most recognizably evil blonde in videogames and turn into a woke rip off that's his own daughter's bitch

If Netflix wanted a good Netflix score for a Netflix TV series, then they shouldn't make a CW series instead.

Honestly it wasn’t that bad. The biggest thing was the Wesler thing. You can’t retcon one of the most iconic bad guys in gaming. You had a great lead actor and instead of writing a strong role for him you retconned him into the roll. Huge mistake.

Cause it sucks.

Oh it’s bad

Nah! Really? 🥱

Probably because no one wants to watch it.

Hint: adapt the characters which with the gamers play

I know where that tougne can gooooooooooo.

They’re just fussy. It’s a good show.

Not sure why, I'm on episode 6 and it's good

Cringe and ass

Seriously… not all games need to be manifested into movies and TV series.

Toxic Fans Excuse Incoming !!!

Netflix is ASS at adaptations

I finished the entire series in one night was pretty good

Absolutely terrible, just pandering to people about politics when nobody at all cares about those said politics, not even at all enjoyable. Not surprised at all because this one’s bad

I guess only tweeters and some youtube reviewers for bad movies watched it.

Good

Personally I found it highly enjoyable. I treated it as a Normal zombie series. In a way it does connect with the Games story (after RE6) but within a different universe. I dislike the original RE movies because lack of accuracy. New Movie I like because it's like 90% accurate.

it's hot garbage 🗑️ that's why

I couldn't finished it.. All is Fine, Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker is fine to me.. Except, Jade Wesker.. she made me quit to watch 😒 She was disrespectful for entire series.. Commanding and scolding her father.. Always complaining.. 😒

Even the last movie, which was horseshit, was better than that series. At least, it had characters, places and events from the game. What do we got here ? London in place of Gloucester and some dumb chick dancing.

Netflix was never know for quality. They had The Rock, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, and the best they could do was mid.

I honestly hoped it would be good but the first episode was so crappy and I couldn’t finish it.

Says two people 😂 Only ones complaining are fake resident evil fans

Good

good who fucking asked for this trash.

wat? which one is it now? xD

Not surprising

The words 'Netflix live action' are a curse on humankind

Im on episode 4 and its great for what it is. I didnt play the first 3 R.E games but played the others. im just so tired of the back and fourth flashbacks with the main characters. The effects are good, the music is kinda terriable and cringe, the enemies need more screentime.

Deserved

For me all the past moments in the show are pretty good, it's all the present time stuff that has me cringing.

I watched the first episode and that was enough for me. Embarrassed is what they should be.

But somehow's number one in the U.S. on Netflix🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️ I love it😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

The weirdos wanna see Leon and his jeans I fear

Chucha

Oh no cringe

It’s lit I love it

I just finished the show, it was super amazing i loved it 👍🏻 p.s i watched it because ellabalinska is in it ❤️

Besides a few lame jokes I thought the series was good, and want to see where it goes next.

Good, it deserves it. Maybe they should make better shows.

I wonder why? I haven't seen such a bad writing in decades! It's not bad, it's bad, bad!

See I was gonna watch it but this has scared me about putting time into it😟but I was someone who really enjoyed WTRC and infinite darkness, though don’t like the Anderson series at all

Audience Scores are worth less then a wet fart from an undead corpse 😂

The ratings wouldn't been as bad.... If they would of slapped an original name as the title and not try to leech off of the RE franchise

I didn't even know it was out?

I’m loving the show…

Prob bc the show is shit

Here’s and idea…do the source material justice and make a entertaining show with no agenda involved

For all the racists on here. It has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the cast. It’s about the immature tone and current social/political references.

Only watched the first episode. Wish it started off with the RE1 stars team going to mansion.

Everyone resident evil show or movie seems to act like we've had 10 accurate versions and told the games story in those mediums. They always go WAY off whatever the game story was and just have like the loosest connection possible. Why can't they just do the game story once?

Yeah, and sky is blue .

I'm still on the fence like/dislike

I didn't even know they had a Resident Evil Series... Time to fire up NetFlix.

The first three episodes were okay. The rest went downhill.

It's not that bad. I'm wondering which Resident Evil y'all want it to be like? People are even split on the games. No matter what they did, someone will complain. The newest REs games are nothing like the originals. They even had a 1st person game lol. People complained....

Butthurt gamers? It's really not that bad.

Thanks to that last movie trash

Good, add that to the list of shitty RE live adaptions.

Because it's average at best I binged it asap an wasn't overjoyed

The reason is simple, they’ve gone and fucked it all up.

Easy that is because rather then get a director to work with fans on potential ideas they went in blind tried putting their own spin and it crashed and burn. Even the part where zombies chased a rabbit she was visible in a doorway and they didn't see her till she bleed 🤦 wtf

Because it ain’t resident evil. Welcome To Racoon City was 25x better than this.

Yo. The zombies suck. They look like a high school makeup class made them. Great for a high school. For a movie, not so much.

Just watched all of it, and oh god was it bad.

Zombies dogpile each other to catch the bunny to zombies turn to headless chickens when girl get caught by zombie

wonder why....

'I want PornHub to Shred your resume' - Albert Wesker with dialogue like this, i'm not surprised,This makes the Jill Sandwich dialogue from RE1 look like a masterpiece.

Los wokes se sorprenden que la gente no le gusta esta 💩 de serie. cualquiera con 2 neuronas mínimamente funcionales pueden ver en menos de 5 min que esta serie es un brodio y que lo único que comparte con RE es el nombre.

It's better then the shitty films

Because it’s trash

Finally an article that isn't tickling Netflix balls with a bullshit take.

Porque es un mojón de serie.

You know this shows bad when even the he/her crowd doesnt like it

And ign saying it’s good😂

No surprise there it’s trash!

Shinji Mikami is the only one who knows how to properly treat Resident Evil. Disappointing that no one else seems to know what to do with it.

People with common sense still exists 🙏

This is no worse than any other RE adaptation, as a matter of fact it's better than some of the previous adaptations (CG included). People act like the games are some massive achievement in storytelling.

Lowest but yet it's in the top ten

Good Utter garbage

Cos it's poo

No one's watching Resident Evil anymore. Same old same old 😴

Maybe if video game adaptations would actually stick to the source material, it would get better reviews.

Is alright for me. i dont know what people want see old copies script with new efects? Is something new to umbrella lore what n how they do. But sure people dont like changes

Shit series to please teen fanficer and K-Pop fans

Bad writing, bad acting, stupid shit done only to move the plot forward.

I really hate it. I thought this was going to be a TV show for adults but it's just a teenager TV show with annoying girls complaining the whole time. I couldn't stand the first 20 minutes of the first episode and I stopped watching. Very boring.

At least it was better than the movies which isn’t saying much. I liked it. It stayed somewhat closer to the actual came than the movie did or at least used content from the games.

Unpopular opinion aside from the original games resident evil has never been good...

Well-deserved if you ask me, please cancel this dumpster-fire

Shit was ass.

Good. Let's keep that way so Capcom understands that we want an actual good live action series based on the games. And like I said: GIVE THE DUFFER BROTHERS THE RE IP

When the title name, zomdogs, and Albert Wesker's name are the only things related to what this show attempted to adapt, then yeah, seems reasonable that it's low. Netflix went ahead and changed a show with MILLIONS of fans to a show to attract HUNDREDS, maybe thousands. Nice.

It’s just not good, poor writing, poor acting, shame. Was really looking forward to it to. It has nothing to do with the colour of peoples skin, or there sex or there religion, it’s just bad.

But how is it 'the most watched show in the world?' MaRkEtInG.

That’s because it’s low key ass flavored.

Make a movie or tv show with just these two, and then expand on it

And, well deserved.

Oh noooo

I hate the population of gamers who just shit on everything they can. Don't watch it, and then rate it badly. It's actually really good and better then the movies (past 2)

They ruined it really bad that isnt really resident evil at all I seen like a stupid horror show

They had to use licker as a poster boy because nobody would care about the cast. Racist show. Hopefully, it will fail.

I actually enjoyed it. I love the music and thought action was good. Also Lance Redderick and Turlough Convery were great.

....at this point, zero sympathy. You're swimming in a rich sea of lore, characters and foundation....and yet for people that don't need a chaperone to think on their own....all we got was the name. Which is clearly -all- the producers saw. IP's should be earned, not bought.

When you make a show that's barely an adaptation and more like someone trying to move their own personal project while using a notable franchise name in a similar genre to what they're doing, then OF COURSE you end up with a garbage show. Make it an original IP & it MIGHT do ok.

It's not so bad. You can't expect the same as in the game. I hope Netflix release a second season.

Not remotely surprised. This is what happens you get writers that don't give a shit about the lore. Bad enough with the movies.

Should never have put that zootopia porn joke

Well that's what happens when you order Resident Evil off of Wish.

yet another bad game adaptation? im shocked!!!

netflix out here doing shit show after shit show. good lord.

To be honest I wont blame Netflix Every single resident evil game it just way different from the other, some time action other horror, survival... Etc Re4 way diffrent than thre previous, so does Re7 and Re6 So yeah I blame Capcom not putting a clear vision of Resident evil

The show is okay

I disn't know it even exists....... Tell now. WTF

The Netflix produced a low budget series to a big name. Everything about it was trash. Starting with the acting and visuals.

Ouch!

Amazon should have done this show. Not a single Netflix series is any good.

Why did Netflix rate it soo high then? 😂

Thats too bad, I loved it and i want a second season...

1 episode in and it’s dogshit, cinematography is shit and have seen no fog or rain, also they modern slag and script is also awful, mentioning Elon and zootopia porn? What the ACTUAL fuck

I enjoyed the show because I ignored the part of 'A NETFLIX SERIES RESIDENT EVIL'. I took it as the typical average bad tv series/movies of zombies where random scenes appear or a velocipastor fights ninjas Of the thousand characters and stories they could have done... Blade 2.0

why tho i dont get it

It is simply trash! Worst RE related thing I've ever experienced!

jamesteden

Come BACK Paul W.S Anderson 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

it was surprisingly good

Absolute shit show

So it will hopefully get canceled

i think its good

Out of all the madness in that show I'm especially confused as to how the zootopia porn line was written, got reviewed and accepted into the final script and spoken by the actress. Like that show is shit thrown at a wall to see what sticks in terms of dialogue but good grief.

Yes because acting is horrible, dialogues are trash and the cast is dull except whoever the dad is. Under all that steaming bs there’s a decent story but I’m not sitting through all the virtue signalling to get a taste of the story 🤦‍♂️

moonkissed277

Should’ve made a gears of war series

as it should

I’m a resident evil fan and I’ve seen 4 episodes I really enjoyed them…

GameSpot disconnected from your audience much?

Probably because “Resident Evil” is both synonymous with great video games and garbage movies there’s been so many failures at this point that everyone’s just like “cool new Resident Evil TV show….. anyways let’s go watch something else.”

Trick why movies and series are not good as games... Is not in actors or story.... Simply is not directed and written by Sinji Mikami and his crew.

I’m a massive franchise fan of the game, and I’m love this 🧟‍♂️

They wont cancell it, usually they cancel the hit series so cant wait for season 2

I would love to see one based off resident evil 1, remember playing it with my best friend for hours trying to figure it out and pass it, some of the best memories i have

Because of salty 35 yr old man babies crying it's not the game in tv format lol

The only good part of the show, was when the fat dude leon'd during the prison escape. The rest of it was bad. It's a different show, using the RE name to get viewers.

Forced bad acting and lesbian relationship.... What they wanted to expect?

Yeah cuz it's a steaming turd. The one awesome thing about it is Lance Riddick

they deserve it

Oh! Ok let I got it, the 'Fans' are mad because it's not the same story bouhouhou 😭 poor fucking cry babies. We got the same thing with The Halo show. Who the fuck want a series that is just a copy and paste of the games... not me. We already got the movies for that.

Tbh it's just some other show with the Resident Evil logo slapped on.

The only video game on the planet where they continuoisly fail to get a movie or show adaptation of it correct. Keep wasting money.

It’s pretty bad, but I like it.

The show is actually solid and could be even better if they didn't have the split timelines within each episode. Maybe just could of split the timeline stuff between the 8 episodes. Just hard to follow shows like that for the greater part of the audience. netflix

Wait? Why? It's good wtf...

I watched it all and so far its the worst resident evil iv seen so far, then its the remake movie from 2021 which is also just awful then the ones with Milla jovovich, nothing has beat the games so far and by the looks of it never will

There was a Resident Evil movie just last year. Why did Netflix feel the need to make not just another one, but a full series? Nobody asked for it, we already got our fill last year, and anything Netflix remakes turns out awful, which is why it’s a joke at this point.

I’m shocked

It's 1 on Netflix and everyone hates it? Let's see how long I watch before cutting it off

Well guess what’s not getting a second season 🙄

They think otherwise

I wonder why lol

No shit Sherlock

Anything that is not the game is bad to some fan Iv only watched the first episode so far but at the minute I think it’s decent

Well, when you fuck up the source material so fucking badly I wonder why the viewership is down the toilet... Even Welcome to Raccoon City is better even with all the bullshit they did to it.

Ooo I wonder why. Maybe because it has FUCK ALL in common with the games bar the name and a few of the names/creatures. It honestly shouldn't be this hard but at this point I think it should be left alone.

Im gonna catch alot of flack her but. I've played a majority of the games. Started at 4,had the RE5 Xbox The welcome to Racoon city movie was better. Yes this show had very good fan service moments but the story was meh. Not a fan of the flashbacks

Its 20% the walking dead and 80% hannah montana.. so yeah.

good.

It's not that bad. Way better than any of the movies have been.

Wow is almost like after 6 movies and a reboot, people are sick of this live-action 'adaptations' not even attempting to adapt the source material beyond superficialities

Who cares? Its a great series. Hopefully it gets a second season. I need to see how Jade and Billie became enemies!

It sucked donkey balls

because it sucks...

Where's the 'best in the series yet' now lol

I didn't even know there was a Resident Evil series on Netflix, but judging by these comments I was better off not knowing.

Resident evil on TV and Cinema is well known for trash adaptations

Oh look, Netflix is going to blame the consumers again and cancel shows people like because they released something people didn’t want or like.

Cause it’s absolutely trash

I think people didn't like it cause they expected a Resident Evil show. Well, I really liked it.. I only expected a show about zombies.

Is like they tried to make it worst as possible

Shocking

Gee, i wonder why?

I’ve never imagine it’s a sequel to the games and not a retelling of the story, is interesting and honestly waaay better than Millas movies lol 😂

I didn't like it much but didn't hate it either, it's not related to main ideas of the game franchise.

It’s pretty f***ng bad, I thought it would have more content like the games but it’s all just a bunch of Easter eggs around a story back and fourth of Billie and Jade while wesker lies to them. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Who would have guessed this would happen after halo also ignored the source material and pretty much flopped

The “fans” saying that this series was good is the same reason why the game series went to shit. In comparison, also makes the horrid Anderson movies appear decent now, and that’s just sad 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe they should make it about Resident Evil next time and not just slap the name onto some garbage they had laying around.

Wait this is a TV show!?

I literally started watching the show last night (first episode) and thought it was decent. Damn is it really that bad?

I kinda like it but, kinda dissapointed st the same time

Maybe we need live action that doesn't stray too far from the source material. Original ideas are fine as long as they're executed well, but we've seen this time and time again with RE movies. WTRC was OK but they crammed in too much and the pacing wasn't very good.

What’d you expect? 😂

It’s actually not that bad if your a true fan 💯‼️

I’m watching it now, I mean… let’s just say that I feel like I was watching Ginny & Georgia

As it should

Glad I don't pay for Netflix. I have a feeling my brothers dad would've watched it by now so I'll ask him for his thoughts.

You would think netflix would test pilot these type of high budget series with a first episode. I watched the first episode and was bored and saw no good resident evil references and I probably want continue watching the series 🤷‍♂️

Good! The show is garbage!

People hate it because majority of the cast is black. The show is great. It’s campy and is a great take on science fiction horror. People act as if everything has to be ⚪️ only casted and super serious. Learn to have fun and stop crying because black people are acting

I watched it and thought it was pretty cool. Leaves some stuff unanswered to be answered in another season but at this rate we probably wont see another season

shit deserves -1000000, re films are gettin worse and worse, effin up the whole franchise. not even close on the story. 🤦‍♂️

Well deserved too. It’s so bad

Also how man people died to save some rabbits. Horrible protagonists

Expectations were high, and it disappointed massively. It didn't even deserve to be greenlit...how does that even happened?

Have it a chance, but had to quit midway through episode 4. Shame, was excited for this but holy hell man. It's bad. Like, really bad.

I'm gonna take a stab and say...because it's shit?

This series only exists because Netflix wanted some of that CW market without realizing that the CW was for sale. It cannot go low enough.

I'm not a fan of it. I watched a few episodes. The only character that's ok is Wesker. The dialogue is mostly terrible. I'm not sure if I'll keep watching.

The writing was bad, decisions were stupid, too much bgm not enough silence, horrible way of telling a ‘scary’ story. Sister mood swings every 5 seconds.

Accurate news for once.

It's shit.

monkey_brooks

Crazy, GameSpot says the the BEST adaptation ever.

It's traaaash

It's crazy because this show is amazing

I did a lot of Fast-forwarding and enjoyed it 😆

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

DarkJerec 😅

That will be the end of that then. Wont be a 2nd season.

Forced myself to watch upto episode 3 and then turned it off.

They should make a 2nd season of the ‘98 incident

I mean I binged this last night I’m sure a black Albert Wesker didn’t sit too well with the core fans and then to be honest everything in the series could’ve been avoided for the most part if Jade didn’t do so much like she was mostly responsible

Me and the wife enjoyed it. Don't know why people are upset a black wesker cry show is to edgy cry show is not true to the games cry. God what a bunch of uptight obnoxious cry babies people are these days 😆😆

Trash

Because it's awful.

Rightfully so. It's awful. What were they thinking?!

No shit! Fuck all them woke journalists and payed peeps to that have no clue what the franchise is about. Is this seriously happening to the RE being a meme now for its live actions. I don't want to see a movie made in the US. Never want anybody touching RE, ever. Here.

It's because neckbeards are mad black people exist.

Probably because it's not good. I don't mind trying something new, but the writing is awful and Jade is an awful and unlikeable main character.

The worst part about the show is young Jade Wesker. Legit trash tier acting. She brings the whole show down. Everything else is cheesy but at least they’re trying then it gets to her and she’s so fucking phoned in.

I binged the entire show yesterday and thought it was great!!

BECAUSE IT'S HORRIBLE!

I have been watching it and enjoying it. Have you watched the movies? They are beyond horrible. I remember one where Milla Jovovich had super powers. This is a breath of fresh are from that.

And I guarantee half of those users haven't even seen it.

fucking kids amirite

I never would have guessed.

Is anyone genuinely surprised? It's clearly someones pet project that could only be produced by incorporating the RE franchise name to give it weight. No one expected anything good but what was delivered was even worse than that: shocking performance.

No one can do Resident Evil justice on the big or small screen. 🙄

The back and forth time hops were annoying. I found myself fast forwarding a lot. That’s not good

Because it's just BOOORING

It's fully deserved. No OG resident evil fan likes this garbage.

Yup its bad Typical woke netflix trash

Netflix says its number 1 lmfao

Good

I’m watching the show later, I’ll tell you folks how it goes

Yea, no shit

It's mediocre like most netflix stuff, also the usual box ticking exercise but it's not terrible I have very low expectations when it comes to netflix so I don't get disappointed.

Wouldn't be so bad if you could skip the cut scenes 😏

Because…..its NOT resident evil. At all

The actors especially Tamara (Jade) made it look like I'm watching a TV show of kids disrespecting their parents.

It's almost as if when you give your show the title of a well-established IP, fans are expecting the show to be faithful to it.

Yeah bc its actually dogshit

Gamespot gave it a 9 , other 9’s from them include fast 9

It seems like no matter what happens an RE series won’t be received well. If it’s too similar to the games people hate it and if it does something different people hate it. I thought it was alright at least. I’ve definitely seen worse RE adaptations

This is an amazing series. Great introduction to the umbrella sega.

It’s fucking dogshit and the girls sister got bitten but didn’t turn immediately that’s not the Resident Evil I grow up watching like come on. Stupid ass flashbacks for what!

3 episodes in, it's not that bad.

I’m three episodes in and enjoying it. It’s interesting and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s not high art by any means, but it’s fun.

You are creating the movie or TV series for video games fan base which is full of kids. You can't please kids unless you make the same video game story just with human actor, then they will say, you see; this is very accurate, I live it. 😆

Por qué será?

Shocker!!.....said no one

As it should.

And I can see why. Feel bad for Lance Reddick who deserves better.

Should have used the money on Mindhunter season 3🤷‍♂️

Among all the numerous flaws, The dialogues... Soooo dumb

No wonder

I’m not surprised.

I've been enjoying it. Probably because the only Resident Evil we've got on motion picture has been absolutely abhorrent. It ain't too bad, on the 3rd epi.

Are you surprised?

there was a severe lack of evil residents, in my opinion

More like Resident Woke.

Why do these companies take a videogame franchise and try and change the story? Nobody wants to see someone's 'artistic spin' on proven franchises. Hollywood never learns man smh.

I couldn't make it past episode 2.

It’s summer and everyone is outside…

No shit 😂

Doesn't that mean something .....exactly what we think

Prolly wouldnt be as bad if they kept Wesker out of it & made added a name to it. Even the video game had some shitty spin offs

woke garbage.

Idk why they keep advertising the licker when it literally got like 3 minutes of screen time

I knew this show would be bad

It has to be cancelled

Wonder why?

It isn’t terrible just not good why can’t film/tv producers stay true to the background they are given instead of putting some bullshit in it to make it appeal to younger audiences who have probably never played resident evil

Fun Fact. All live action Resident Evil adaptations have been awful. Nice to see Netflix add to that legacy.

Get woke, go broke.

Almost fell asleep during 1st episode

It’s alright. Up to episode 8. Decent, not 🤯

None of it is really that bad. People seem to forget it's based off of a video game with fictional things that aren't real. lol. Even the movies weren't bad... people just like jumping on the haterade band wagon.

Don’t bother waiting to cancel it after season 2, just pull the plug now!

netflix maybe this is a hint get the second season of REiD off the ground.

Good. These game and anime companies need to learn to stop giving Netflix their properties.

People dumb as f in that series cant actually develop T-virus. Change my mind.

I've just started episode 1. So far so good. It's actually good

I really enjoy it. I don’t think every video game adaption has to be 100% like the game itself. It‘s something new and different and I like it.

Audience are never happy. They're fucking toxic

Because it's bad

Biggest problems with the show is the teen drama and main protagonist not like able at all. Not to mention the whiplash of going to the future then back to the past at least 4 times an episode. It’s just not even relatable as an RE fan.

Because it's bad...

Fake news

SturmiL gib dir mal die Kommentare 😂😂

That will happen when you put Blade in a resident evil show

Qué raro, si es buenísima y 100% fiel a los videojuegos...

Doesn't surprise me. I'm beyond struggling to make it through the first episode. Whiny angry kid - Check Boring story - Check Minimal action and suspense - Check Did the writers who wrote the last Resident Evil movie or this show even know wtf RE is?

I love it especially the redcon on Wesker ppl are trippin because they expected it to be in line with the games

Loved it.

I heard it was dog shit. Will not watch.

We all knew it You knew I knew it Your neighbours knew it It was gonna flop That's why I will never trust Netflix or any company to be faithful to ANY games that get turned into shows for quick cash grab

I'd be surprised, if they ever gonna renew it.

The problem is, aside wesker, and umbrella, there I hardly any link to resident evil. Aside a few name drops. The protaganists are extremely unlikeable and mind blowingly stupid.

Good variety of zombies. Too much lovey dovey drama filled flashbacks for a horror title. Very slow storytelling, not enough suspense, horror, scares. Jade's character was all over the place like a psycho. Half decent cast. Yet it's still promising, needs big improvements!

One minute I hear it’s amazing next it’s completely trash…

Deserved. Until capcom take control and make a good live action.

Watched the first episode. It was so dumb my gosh.

It's horrendous 😫

Makes me more worried about the Bioshock movie that they are making over at Netflix

I bet with great editing skills someone can take the flashback scenes and make it a whole beginning and the present as the ending part.

residentevildb triste que errou a previsão que faria sucesso

I tried watching it last night and it didn't keep my attention what so ever. It's not the acting the actors are just doing what they're told. The story just isn't that great. Based around Weskers 2 daughters before and after the outbreak 2/3 is just flashbacks.

Total Bullshit .

Stopped watching after 3 episodes, boring asf

Normal es un:

It's because the casting is awful, it's clearly a diversity grab. The unnecessary and constant overuse of the word 'Fucking' is ridicules. And the main character Jade is such an arsehole, both young and old, that you want her to die in every encounter. ResidentEvilNetflix

I’ve been enjoying the show so far.

It could have been any other show, without the Resident Evil name and been okay.

Shame really enjoyed it. Seems film makers and creatives are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Do something different like the Anderson movies or RE Netflix it’s hated. Do WTRC or Infinite Darkness it’s hated…even WTRC was close to the games and mostly panned…

Trash

Oh dear oh dear. I'll pass then

It’s a terrible show I mean terrible

I don’t think it’s bad. I also wasn’t expecting a masterpiece either though. If people go into shows and movies that were video games first and are expecting it to be the video game then I’m sorry, but you’re a damn fool.

I think a lot of fans are just hating it for no reason other that to be negative and toxic about it. However it’s not a perfect show and has some issues but it’s a pretty enjoyable adaptation of the RE universe.

Feels like it was someone’s school project. It’s a proper piss poor show.

I think the haters purposely doing this to hurt Netflix so wouldn't be surprise if the haters telling telling there haters to boycott it to punish netflix

Couldn’t get through the first episode 👎

Good

Hopefully this informs the creators about this very alien concept that when someone watches a video adaptation, they’re expecting it to be authentic, and not just the brand name being licensed to whatever cheap flick that wouldn’t otherwise sell on its own.

I’ve seen worse. Also Lance Reddick is excellent.

Watched 3 episodes so far and I like it.

By ppl who didnt even watched. The series is awesome

Can Capcom just stop making shows and movies for ResidentEvil?

After all those 💩 live actuon movies, people have lost faith in there ever being a decent version

Only lasted for 30 minutes. Fucking BORING and unbearable to watch. Unlikable protagonist.

Oh no...

Failing to even mention the possibility of review-bombing, esp. when yet another black actor in a popular sci-fi franchise is being drawn into a culture war, is pure cowardice and a lack of curiosity.

JoshGamnChannel ResidentLeon2

I loved it tbh 🤷🏻‍♂️

Haters! Its so bad its good hahah and Lance Reddick is actually incredible in it.

No wonder. It’s a bad teen drama.

Well no wonder.... If those shits would just listen to the fans and maybe take some advice. It could have been such a great horror series... BUT...

Only got through 1 episode and its unbelievably cringe. Maybe it gets better, but at this point the writing is so bad, anything would be better.

It's a Good Series, something fresh from The REUniverse . I don't see any problems , Leon Sexualls are a Pest

i really liked it, don't care about the outrage clan downvoting the scores..it's number 1 on Netflix anyway, maybe next time they will be succesful...

In a good old video library, Netflix would be on the trash and B-Movie shelf.

Good. Hope they cancel it asap, this shit should never have been approved, or atleast not in the RE name.

Because the audience was expecting grown-up tv series with high quality and horror and mystery Not some cheap teenager tv series set in apocalyptic world with tons of flash backs with resident evil title

As it should be.

I started watching it last night. It has some bad moments, but it's not as cringe as I thought it would be. So many other good (better) streaming services than Netflix nowadays; a lot of people have just moved on.
