Resident Evil (2022)
Resident Evil was an American action horror streaming television series developed by Andrew Dabb for Netflix. Loosely based on the video game series of the same name by Capcom, it is the second television adaptation of the franchise after the animated miniseries Infinite Darkness (2021), and the third live-action adaptation after the film series of the same name and the reboot film Welcome to Raccoon City (2021). The series is set in its own universe but features the video game series' storyline as its backstory and basis.

Resident Evil premiered on July 14, 2022. In August 2022, the series was canceled after one season.

Plot
It takes place over two timelines. The first timeline in 2022 involves 14 year old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker moving to New Raccoon City. They come to realise that their father may be concealing dark secrets that could destroy the world. The second timeline in 2036 takes place over a decade in the future, where only 15 million humans remain, with over 6 billion animals and people being infected with the T-virus. It follows Jade, now thirty, in her efforts to survive in this world.

Why The Show is The Virus

 * 1) This show has a horrible grasp to the source material possibly more than the movies
 * 2) *First off, zombies don't run in the games as they are more reminiscent to George A Romero's zombies
 * 3) *Second of all, some of the characters share some names with the names of the characters from the games yet they're barely have the same personality as their game counterparts, you could change their names and nothing would change.
 * 4) It often overuses dark effects on the designs which can make it hard to see the monsters in some scenes.
 * 5) It's yet another unneeded apocalyptic story instead of a typical Resident Evil story. What's more baffling is that Netflix's previous Resident Evil show (called Infinite Darkness) was canon to the games!

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The CGI is decent in some scenes.

Reception
Resident Evil received mixed reviews from critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 50% approval rating with an average rating of 5.8/10, based on 36 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "While Resident Evil comes closer than previous adaptations to honoring the beloved video games' labyrinthine lore, this zombie serial could still use more brains.".

WatchMojo ranked it #1 on their worst tv shows of 2022 so far list.
