They had no saving grace IMO. They're as bottom barrel as an action movie can get. Poor Monster Hunter fans are about to get their franchise wrecked by the same idiot.
That said, who knows? Maybe this show will be a return to form (Daredevil movie blew, Netflix show is the best live action superhero show ever made).
The first RE movie felt the closest to the games, even inspiring the laser dodging shtick later in RE4; it and the first Mortal Kombat movie were the only real passable game adaptions Paul Anderson has done IMO (enjoyed some parts of the later films, but it was all dumb fun rather than quality).
This pulling a Daredevil in terms of show vs movie? Heh, one can hope.
So... a racewashed Wesker, and Wesker children that look like they could be popstars.
Lance Reddick is a great actor to be fair whose been in villain roles before, but feel like they could do more to pass him off as Wesker here. IDK, have him in black leather, sunglasses, and the red eyes, instead of looking like a casual businessman like in the picture. He may have been cast because of tokenism, but it's not a race issue for me so much as it is a portrayal issue. Wesker has a cool design that they're just not seeming to take advantage of.
There was little hope for this show to begin with, but I guess the Netflix adaptation meme exists for a reason, at least when it comes to live action. Yes, I know Infinite Darkness is also a thing, but I shouldn't have to watch that as a rebound from this. As a Wesker fan I'll be disappointed regardless of how good the other show is.
