I really need you to hear this - the new Resident Evil Netflix show is amazingSchrodinger’s TV tie-in
Schrodinger’s TV tie-in
Yesterday saw the release ofResident Evil: Infinite Darknessonto Netflix, a standalone four-part CGI animation based on Capcom’s favourite survival-horror-action series of games. I binged it all in one sitting last night (it being collectively less than the length of the average Marvel film) and let me tell you: that was the best evening I have had in a while, and you should definitely watch it. It is simulataneously really well written and really badly written, and I’m still struggling to get my head around it.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness starsResident Evil 2’s protagonists Claire Redfield and Leon “S” Kennedy, although they barely speak to one another. It’s set in 2006, betweenResi 4(everyone’s favourite) and Resi 5 (nobody’s favourite), so right away you know there arezerostakes here. Leon teams up with Jason, a hulking blonde gorilla, and Shen May, a badass who deserved better that what this show gave her, to investigate possible security attacks on America coming from China. But Jason and Shen May have a shady and clandestine past in the US military!? Also, assume every other scene might feature a zombie. (Claire has a B-plot where she independently investigates all this herself, but it is hilariously minimal.)
