Today, according to media reports VGC, Netflix ‘Resident Evil’ live-action series on Rotten Tomatoes has a very poor audience reputation (popcorn index) of only 22% (up to 24% as of press time), making it the lowest rated of all Netflix game adaptation series works.
‘Resident Evil’ Rotten Tomatoes fresh rating of 53%
But it’s worth noting that Rotten Tomatoes’ audience rating mechanism does not require verification of whether you’ve actually seen the show, and anyone can vote directly.
In comparison, the Netflix ‘Castlevania’ animated series received a lot of positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with a Rotten Tomatoes fresh rating of 94% and a Popcorn Index of 88%, while the ‘The Witcher’ episodes also had a Rotten Tomatoes fresh rating of 81% and a Popcorn Index of 75%.
In the ‘Resident Evil’ live-action series viewer comments, user “Jhonatan V” said: “Series disaster, and ‘Resident Evil’ has nothing to do.”
The two-star review by user “Ken C” says: “If you don’t know the original game very well, it’s good enough, it’s another interesting interpretation of the ‘Resident Evil’ backstory line.”
A user who claimed to be a die-hard ‘Resident Evil’ fan gave it three stars and said, “This is a very outrageous adaptation I’ve seen, it’s so disconnected from the original, even removing some elements of it, you can’t even tell it’s an adaptation.”
And VGC believes that the feedback from the first trailer also shows how much people like the show, with the first trailer receiving about 53,000 “likes” and 125,000 “dislikes” by press time.
