Resident Evil fans are not happy about the Netflix series

Yet another video game adaptation isn’t going over well with anyone.

Netflix’s new Resident Evil show came out last week, and most long-time fans do not like it. Yes, it’s happening again!

Capcom’s seminal survival horror series has had two silver screen adaptations now. Resident Evil (2002), directed by Paul W.S Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, was a decent action-horror flick with sequels that got more ridiculous as time passed — eventually resulting in Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City (2021), a hard reboot directed by Johannes Roberts. Both took massive liberties from the source material, and fans were hoping Netflix might produce something a little closer to the video games.

Unfortunately, Netflix’s Resident Evil appears to be another dud.

We’ll refrain from posting any heavy spoilers, but the audience reception to the new Netflix series hasn’t been all that positive. In fact, it’s getting absolutely eaten alive by fans. Mainly because (you guessed it) the show has almost nothing to do with the games! While also being stuffed with all sorts of ill-fitting pop culture and real-world references. Below, we’ve listed some of the better(?) reactions.
