Year 2036 -- 14 years after the spread of Joy caused so much pain, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by the blood-thirsty infected and mind-shattering creatures. In this absolute carnage, Jade is haunted by her past in New Raccoon City, by her father?s chilling connections to the sinister Umbrella Corporation but mostly by what happened to her sister, Billie.

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.

... 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. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 07/19/2022
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. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 07/15/2022

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). Go to Full Review Nuha Hassan Castle of Chills 09/08/2023
Overall, Resident Evil is fun, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Its universe has a rich history of characters, monsters, and villains. Go to Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies 07/20/2023
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Gabi Zietsman Channel24 (South Africa) 10/01/2022
2.5/5
Despite its many, many flaws, I still loved the terrible entertainment of the show... What really brings the series down is some very bad and inconsistent production choices, especially regarding the music score and janky sound design. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Reeves S @RT40345907 Jul 16 I binged this in two days. I really enjoyed it. The shots were set well, loved the back and forth timelines, and the action was well paced. If you know resident evil it has cheese and this was balanced with its cheese. I would have loved for it to have continued. It is a shame it wasn’t renewed. I actually liked the actors as well. If you can binge a whole series in two days, you know you’ve been entertained. See more Colston K @RT89827197 Mar 19 Too secularized and too politically correct, always advocating feminism. Selfish teenagers feel that the world owes them a vulgar and disgusting rebellious plot, and why do they design the CEO of the umbrella so foolishly and comically. The plot's connection is like a child's fantasy, even elementary school students would struggle and laugh, and this stupid plot happens one after another See more Jay C @NanoPoke Mar 17 Netflix Resident Evil is a decent stand alone watch to kill some time however it doesnt follow any of the Source Material in any way whatsoever so not really a Resident Evil. It does add a few easter eggs from Game Material but sadly they are totally pointless & fail to add anything meaningful to the story. The Flash Back set up is disjointed at best. To summerise, Lance Reddick is the only real GEM in this with his Performance as Albert & his Clones See more James H. @jmshenley Mar 7 Yiiiikes. Watching this in 2025 is giving me intense second hand embarrassment. See more RUBEN TRISTAN J @tristan705 Feb 3 EM POUCAS PALAVRAS FANTASTICAMENTE HORRÍVEL! See more chad D. @Chaddie Jan 14 The bar was pretty low after the half a dozen movies that were, to be honest, so bad they were great! As a fan of the games as well this was just awful, worst of all the the insufferable lead character, Jade. I hope someone who cares about their audience gets the franchise next. I did try to watch this again to give it a chance but it was even worse than the first time. See more Read all reviews
