Finishing resident evil netflix as im writing this. I'm gonna be talking about spoilers so if you read this be warned

Overall, its a great zombie show. Not the best resident evil media out there. IMO, this is the worst re adaptation. But I still find it kinda fun. The performances are fucking awesome the actors nailed it! What really threw me off was the subtitles. The subtitles said "younger billie" which told me that she was still alive in the future :/

One way I think they messed up and why people won't like it is the creators said that it was canon with the games. And its really not timeline wise. But once you say that people will go into your show with that expectation. They do nod at canon with a lisa cameo, og wesker dying in a volcano, and mention of the original raccoon city. But that's it. Otherwise not canon especially timeline wise with the newest games

Thinking of it like the show is its own thing, like the 6 movies, its not that bad IMO. The giant monsters/animals where awesome. The hordes of zombies where cool to watch. The twists where fun to watch. The characters have a lot of depth and I can see nearly everyone's side during arguments. Mainly with jade and billie. Both of them are very well written.

My biggest complaint is they flip between the past and future so frequently. You can always tell what time you're in, but the flips are sometimes every 5 minutes or less. That slows down the farther in the show you get. And the last 2 episodes? Personally, I think that's where this show shines the most. It feels a little more like resident evil. I think the last 2 episodes are by far the best but it takes a while to get there

Also bert fucking rules. He carries the last 2 episodes. Overall, unless you're super picky about your adaptations, I say give it a try. As someone who genuinely enjoyed the other re adaptations I find this one fun, but still probably the worst. Idk my expectations with re adaptations are super low and this is watchable and fun so its a good for me!
