How does Netflix manage Capcom’s huge zombie legacy?
Resident Evil is, in short, the name of the Netflix series that builds on the network of zombies and drama that Capcom has been weaving for over 25 years in the game series Resident Evil. This is not the first attempt for Netflix, which last year gave us the CGI party Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness – which got cold hands.
The critics and viewers are unfortunately, at least initially, not impressed by Resident Evil. At the time of writing, Rotten Tomatoes is liked by 56 percent of the critics, while the corresponding figure among the people is even weaker 29 percent. Well, the best thing is to form your own opinion.
The critics’ consensus is that the experiment is better than before, but lacks brain substance:
While Resident Evil comes closer than previous adaptations to honoring the beloved video games’ labyrinthine lore, this zombie serial could still use more brains.
Resident Evil is, unlike Infinite Darkness, live action. It consists of eight episodes and is about two different eras, where the adopted Albert Wesker twins have leading roles.
