Fans of the video game series Resident Evil will most likely not enjoy Netflix’s series of the same name. If you wish CW shows like Roswell involved more chainsaws, however, you might dig it.

Resident Evil as a series has had a complicated relationship to the medium of film. While the video games have always been beloved and acclaimed, the Paul W. S. Anderson movie series starring his wife Mila Jovovich based on them are more accurately described as “silly” or “nonsensical” or “one director’s mission to make a series of films mostly about how hot his wife is.” Despite fans generally rejecting these movies, they were popular and lucrative enough to produce six sequels. Fans of Resident Evil have also rejected the movie series reboot, subtitled Welcome to Racoon City, despite it being way more faithful to the original series.
