No spoilers. I’m a committed Resident Evil fan, all the movies, every show, ima watch it all. Being said, I don’t feel like some people connect with it in the same ways. This show is shot in a series of flashbacks to tell the story of how it began using actual teenagers. It’s not focused on the zombies the entire time, which I’m fine with. They’re still very much there, still got those crazy doberman and the lickers, all the classical RE monsters with some new ones.
Honestly I liked the way this story was told, it has some corny parts and parts where the characters made stupid decisions but of course it does. Apocalypses don’t happen because things went right and people were smart. Even the movies got a little corny. But also, because they use actual kids for the cast I felt like I was able to better connect with and understand the thought processes of the characters, they’re just kids who did stupid things.
I sincerely think everyone who loves RE should give it a shot, I thought it deserves a sequel.
