    Umbrella blocks all t0rr3nt sites. The "past" is primarily set in 2022 where covid was also a thing.

    The series is technically canon to the video game universe.

    The main character should be in a coma or dead with how much head trauma she experienced in this show.

    Yeah, from what I understood the story from current games is canon in the show's universe, but the show won't be canon to the games, as that would kinda screw capcom with where they can go with the story in future titles.

    Unique password for the sensitive content. You'll get why in a later episode. The payoff is worth it, especially if you're a fan of Lance's acting.

    I finished the show but I think you didn't get my complaint - my point is, in ep1 she was logging to his work account which still had access to sensitive info (e.g. the Tijuana report and whatever else, him being high up the Umbrella chain) and it was protected by his everyday password he uses for Netflix or stuff? Seems like a horrible security oversight for the genius he's supposed to be.

    Granted, I don't think anything similarly dumb happened later on. Overall it was a decent watch and you can't help but get a little excited when you see the name on the paper at the end

    The show is... not good lol. But it wasn't terrible either. Just perfectly fine trash television with some fun easter eggs. I definitely pointed at the tv when they started playing the moonlight sonata. Laughed when they mentioned OG Wesker dying in a volcano. Name on the paper is a good set up for season 2.

    But mainly, Everything they hinted to about The Raccoon City incident seemed vastly more interesting than anything we got lol. Its like, oh do you guys like the resident evil games? Well here's something almost completely unrelated!

    I swear I saw several zombies Naruto running in the first episode. Made me laugh and facepalm at the same time.

    Can't believe we managed to have 2 of the worst game adaptations in a single year, Two games that have an extensive source material and the writers decided to make their own fan fiction and complain about the fans wanting a loyal adaptation

    It took me a minute to figure out what other one you meant because I guess I was subconsciously trying to forget Halo.

    There are still producers determined to make sure video game live media remains as bad as possible despite having enough source material to make something dope.

    Off topic, but if you want video game media done right then go check out the live action Phoenix Wright movie. It had no business being as good as it was for a movie adaptation of the first game pretty much.

    Much more the second. Small good parts trapped inside hours of bad. It's modeled after CW shows, complete with overwhelming levels of relationship drama, and 'X years ago' flashbacks.

    Has there ever been a videogame to tv/movie adaptation that followed the source material to a T?

    To a T? Not exactly but like I said above the Phoenix Wright movie is probably the best video game movie ever
