Netflix’s Resident Evil Hasn’t Learned Anything From the Films – and That’s Bad

Netflix’s new Resident Evil series released its first trailer and left fans torn because it doesn’t appear to have learned from the films’ mistakes. Netflix recently released its first trailer for its upcoming Resident Evil TV series, which looks to take place in the world of the games. However, the series may be taking a totally different direction rather than retelling the iconic stories that fans played through. But in doing so, fans have become divided, as it looks like yet another live-action property based on the hit game franchise hasn’t learned from the mistakes of the films.

Resident Evil is set sometime in the future after the remains of Raccoon City got replaced by a new community known as New Raccoon City. The contemporary monochromatic city has the appearance of the ideal town. But because The Umbrella Corporation oversees it, the sins they’ve built their new parasite over may be bubbling to the surface. However, much like the films, the biggest issue is a lack of faithfulness to the source material.
