I'm a die hard RE player and fan and I LOVED this show. Don't listen to the miserable, dumb, think they're so clever people who have left bad reviews. Spoiler free summary of why I (and probably you) will love it, most definitely if you are an action / zombie / RE game fan.
1) Really strong plot which is relentlessly entertaining/ full of action / scares, twists and surprises that I never saw coming. It all feels very much like it could be a true RE game plot at its core.
2) Really high production values - great script, really well directed, superlative CG (and I work in movie CG creation), great acting. Brilliantly produced
3) So many RE references / Easter eggs - and actually not just RE, the series nods to so many classic horror movies that only true fans will get but they are done in a way that doesn't feel forced. I loved seeing what they'd do next.
4) Main characters well written and clever storytelling hooks you in to getting behind them.
5) It manages to feel fresh - which isn't easy for this now we'll trodden genre. Didn't do all the cliches you might expect.
6) Sets up a really exciting S2
BAM!
If you are more of a David Lynch fan say then of course I'd say it might not be for you.
One of the best/ fun / bingeworthy things I've seen so far this year.
