looks like the latest resident Evil The adaptation is living up to the standard of disappointing fans of the franchise, but the new Netflix series may have taken that to the next level as over the weekend it racked up some of the worst reviews ever received for any production released on the streaming service. .
This one resident Evil The adaptation stars Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker and twins Jade and Billie Wesker (played by Ella Balinska and Adelina Rudolph), featuring a dual timeline set in 2022 and 2036, with the latter depicting the typical zombie apocalypse scenario. Now if this really doesn’t sound like classic resident Evilso this is exactly why thousands of fans across the world are expressing their displeasure with the show and why this could very well be an all-time low when it comes to video game adaptations or just content.
At the time of writing, Netflix resident Evil it holds a worrying 51% from critics score on Rotten Tomaties, along with an even worse viewership rating of 25%, and it’s not like the overall perception is much different elsewhere. It’s over, IMDB this resident Evil is rated 3.6 out of 10. All these ratings are much lower than last year Resident Evil: Infinite Darknessan animated Netflix production or Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citywhich at least had a somewhat positive reception from the public due to its relative fidelity to Capcom’s game source material.
As for why exactly the series is being criticized so much, it goes far beyond detachment from the games, as there are simply too many things that don’t make sense in resident Evil. Most people suggest that the show has very little to offer when it comes to storytelling, thus cementing the long tradition of this particular video game receiving poorly adapted work. Suffice it to say there may be no need to try to fit this show into the resident Evil canon.
The early failure of resident Evil everything, but it kills any possibility that the series will get another season after the initial 8-episode order, especially considering Netflix’s approach to canceling shows, even those that do well. This error also separates resident Evil of Netflix’s recent success with video game properties such as castlevania, The magicianand Arcaneall of which received high praise and subsequently got more seasons or spinoffs to capitalize on their popularity.
Netflix resident Evil seemed doomed from the start, with many fans criticizing Albert Wesker’s evident lack of connection to the games and race-swapping, as many believed the latter partially removed the eugenic narrative that is so intrinsic to the infamous villain, which along with the show’s own flaws, otherwise it will likely see it forgotten very soon.
resident Evil is now streaming on Netflix.
