Resident Evil is an American horror film series, and it is based on the Japanese video game franchise Resident Evil by Capcom. Netflix’s new Resident Evil show came out last week and the fans do not seem to appreciate it at all. Paul W.S Anderson directed the 2002 Resident Evil movie starring Milla Jovovich, which was a decent action-horror flick with sequels that also did not get much hype. But then Johannes Roberts came up with Resident Evil (2021), but the fans do not seem to like it either. Understandably, the fans wanted something more related to the video game.

Resident Evil is not up to the mark:
Netflix’s Resident Evil is based on the video game, but the fans say they could have related the show with the game a little more. Fans are religiously making memes on the show, because the show has nothing to do with the game. They have said,” what’s up with resident evil adaptations insisting on the global zombie apocalypse plot point. Is this just a case with western writers assuming all zombie fiction results in a global catastrophe?”
Here are few reactions of the fans:
Resident Evil on Netflix may be the most boring, pointless garbage I've seen all year, with absolutely nothing in common with its source material. Its so bad, it makes the Milla Jovovich movies look like absolute works of art in comparison.

Fans appreciate the advertisement more than the show:
The fans seem to blast the internet, with comments like:
“It really is remarkable how Netflix is singlehandedly screwing up series/films/adaptations based on storylines that already exist. How do you screw it up THIS much when you don’t even have to create anything new? And yes. The new Resident Evil series is unwatchable.”

I wish the show would be as good as this advert.

That's strange, the billboard isn't using unwanted teen drama and jokes about Zootopia porn. Are they even advertising the right show?

Gotta love a billboard for something that appears in 1 episode

This probably the best thing out of the whole project … they really made the advertisement better than the show 😂
