What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Resident Evil comes closer than previous adaptations to honoring the beloved video games' labyrinthine lore, this zombie serial could still use more brains.

Valerie Anne Autostraddle ... The show has the ingredients for success but didn’t quite bake it long enough, or forgot to mix it together properly, or didn’t use ENOUGH of one ingredient. Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com It enables Reddick, who is always one of the best parts of the shows he's a part of, to enjoy the type of dramatic athletics actors love to engage in, especially these days... To be clear, Resident Evil is not a good show by any means. Jul 19, 2022 Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire For the majority of the eight-episode first season, Resident Evil is a mishmash of ambitions, likely to satisfy very few fans of the franchise (whether they’re fond of the video games, movies, or both). Rated: C+ Jul 15, 2022 Full Review Nuha Hassan Castle of Chills Overall, Resident Evil is fun, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Its universe has a rich history of characters, monsters, and villains. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies The only reason to watch Resident Evil is if you want to fall asleep. This is a joke and not meant to hurt people who suffer from sleeplessness. But, yes, if you want to put something on that will lull you into a deep slumber, this is it. Rated: 2/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Martin Carr Yahoo! Movies Pedestrian pacing and a disjointed plot line, make Resident Evil hard work. Lance Reddick is wasted as Albert Wesker, while this series struggles to feel relevant. May 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

LilG B They got everything wrong again. Which wasn't surprising the idea was doomed from the start. Albert Wesker was not the character from the games. They just slapped the name for their poorly written teen drama. The other characters were bland, boring & uninteresting which made watching this show just tedious. The plot was predictable, the actor Lance Reddick was the only person who was kind of interesting to watch since I knew his other works. This was a huge waste of his talent. The big reveal was obvious, episodes just centred on Wesker or his daughters who just get into trouble & he has to save them with other characters ending up dead. This wasn't Resident Evil. It's a disjointed mess, what's hilarious is the writer thought he could make it run as long as Supernatural. There's no way any fan of the series thought this was good. It's Resident Evils Dragon Ball Evolution Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Dan B Strong story, good acting. Definitely worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review John E The characters are selfish teenie bops abusing angsty tropes. Very unsympathetic. Reddick is wasted in this search for meaning. Bad acting from the protagonist. Bad writing from the writers. Bad directing... You get the point. If Netflix thinks it's too big to fail, keep pumping out trash like this and you'll find out. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Nitin singh S It's better then resident evil movies still won't recommend to old times fan! It's 2024 and we still can't get a good resident evil show what a let down Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Sean M Better than the movies - but not saying much. The protagonists are very unlikable. Also, please Umbrella hire some dang security at your top secret labratories - absolutely no guards at all - literal children keep breaking in repetively - and you do nothing to upgrade security let alone hire even a single guard for after hours... ugh.... I stuck it out but not really sure why... I kept expecting some kind of explanation that tied the two timeliness together more competently-alas... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Tim W Do yourself a favour and watch Fallout instead. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
