Ignore the bs lower ratings. First thing to know is it is not a replica of the game that I have loved since day one. 2nd it is not a continuation of the movie series.
It is a new story with the base of umbrella made for a drama. And it is done pretty well, it can be canny at times "Drama" but it resolves itself well. It would break open a deep story of the t-virus for years to come with new endless stories so it's a good one in my opinion.. Do remember the RE movie series got boring and out of story so don't fan boi that. Give it a crack with an open mind out of the game and the first few movies and you should enjoy it.. Or "your all going to die down here"
