Still one Season too many.

 

[HiFiVideogameMusic]

But it was so loyal to the games....

Netflix should release the viewership number drop after the zootopia line.

Never watched it but heard it was bad. Its ridiculous how many shows Netflix cancel after one season.

 

[NeonGhost]

Couldn't even make it through the first episode

 

[Aion002]

Good.

 

[ElCasual]

The future of Horizon.

[Timberwolf25]

What a travesty. What will I ever do now for good entertainment

 

[Konnor]

It's a shame, I loved watching youtubers lose their minds trying to convey how absolutely terrible this show is

 

[Soodanim]

Shame.

Not "What a shame it was cancelled", I mean Game of Thrones' walking down the street ringing a bell to publicly humiliate everyone responsible for that shambles of a production because they brought shame upon themselves and the franchise.

Shame.

 

[Nankatsu]

RIP Blade cosplay...I mean Black Wesker.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

Blade Wesker you're pitiful!

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I kinda wanna see it now. Like Resident Evil is already random, then they decided lets do random story about zombies and slap resident evil on it.

Couldn't even make it through the first episode

Same it is as awful

 

[CherryFalls]

Good

 

[Wandering Leopard]

Inevitable, there have been a lot of attempts but the only half decent on screen Resident Evil adaptation was the very first movie, directed by Paul W Anderson (I think).

 

[Ragnarok]

I don't understand why it's so difficult to make a decent Resident Evil movie or show.

This particular show was somehow the worst of them all though. The main characters were so unlikeable that i can only assume the writers were actively trying to piss off the viewers.

Not like there's already a black female character in RE who is actually likeable yet underdeveloped , oh wait….

Also black washing Wesker was so dumb. Of all the characters to race swap, Wesker was the worst possible choice.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

and in the trailer thread i heard it was number one on netflix for one weekend. How could this happen

 

[yurinka]

For the next time I suggest them that instead of focusing on listening what their diversity & woke propaganda team say, they could ifocus instead on making a faithful and respectful adaptation that matches the original vision of the IP and what the fans of that like and expect from it.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I wish the George Romero Resident Evil got made. It would be a cult classic by now! Legend has it that George wanted Kurt Russel and Peter Stormare in roles.

All hail the King:

Still dethroned.

 

[SuperBabyMethod]

Poor actress.... this is probably the only thing the show and her will be remembered by...and I never watched a single episode!

 

[Arachnid]

 

[Javthusiast]

This is where I pretend to be shocked.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I didn't read any reviews of it and saw it on netflix and attempted to watch it, hol-e-fuck was this terrible. This should have never even gotten to post-production.

 

[Ragnarok]

All hail the King:

Still dethroned.

Where Sanic at tho

 

[j0hnnix]

 

[Astral Dog]

Alot of the fans hated Welcome to Raccoon City while i thought it was a fun time and at least respected the series art

i never thought anything about this new Resident Evil show looked remotely interesting or promising so i didn't watched it

 

[March Climber]

Where Sanic at tho

 

[taizuke]

Expected.

I will say it had it's moments. Episode 4 in my opinion was the best one (though that's not saying much). It even had a John Wick moment and featured a villain with almost same amount of silliness as the games.

I give this show a "Some'ol bullshit" (Double Toasted rating) but I give a "fuck you" to whatever that Welcome To Racoon City movie was.

Fun fact the actress playing older Jade was in the Charlie's Angels reebot and is also the main protagonist in Forspoken.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Never watched it but heard it was bad. Its ridiculous how many shows Netflix cancel after one season.

Even worse, the ones that actually have an ending, have shitty endings anyway

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

It's because the series didn't feature a paraplegic, pan sexual, filipino from France, wearing spandex and nipple clamps.

 

[Alebrije]

Canceled....!!!

 

[OmegaSupreme]

EDMIX are you alright?

 

[Kacho]

Netflix needs to clean house and hire people who can actually pick good projects because what they're doing isn't working.

 

[Chiggs]

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

[Kev Kev]

Much like the Cowboy Bebop live action, I just don't know who the target audience was…?

It certainly wasn't for the fans with all the insane changes and additions they made. Young men who don't play video games? Mexican guys named Leon?

Get someone in there who likes the source material and make it for the millions upon millions of fans who love the RE games and the story, and just make THAT. So ridiculous that such morons are allowed to fail over and over again when the answer is that fucking simple.

 

[Stamps1646]

The trailer alone was the very reason I never watched the series.
I stopped the trailer after 20 seconds and moved on.

 

[McGILLAZ]

This series was rancid ass - I made it two whole episodes before I threw in the towel.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

That's to bad, but not unexpected.

Despite the family drama stuff it was the most faithful adaption we've had yet.
