Netflix's Resident Evil series receives extremely low audience scores

Netflix's Resident Evil adaptation is receiving terrible audience scores on the popular aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, among the lowest for any video game adaptation from Netflix.

At the time of this publication, it stands at 25% from viewers and 51% from critics. It is worth noting that anyone can vote without confirming that they actually watched the series.

For comparison, the animated series Castlevania, which launched in 2017, received 88% from viewers and 94% from critics. The Witcher, which is more closely tied to the novel series but borrows elements from CD Projekt's games, holds 75% from viewers and 81% from critics.

Many mention the lack of any connection between the Resident Evil series and the game franchise, while some point out interesting plot twists yet note oddities in the narrative. 

Such a reaction to the series could have been predicted based on the response to the first trailer. It currently has 54 thousand likes and 131 thousand dislikes.
