Both of them still do terrific jobs but Panisello definitely could’ve used more screen time beyond sitting behind a laptop or getting knocked out and tied to a chair.Īspostolides deserves special praise for his performance as Leon.

It’s a shame because the main selling point of this series was the return of voice actors Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello from the Resident Evil 2 remake as Leon and Claire. Another issue is that when Claire is on screen, she doesn’t get to show much of a personality or character disappointingly. Even the tip-off she gives to Leon in the first episode, he was already mostly aware of. SHE’S BARELY IN THIS! Apart from some digging around for information and discovering a classic RE secret lab, she does very little. It’s not like the series was strapped for content either. Another reason this might have been a show instead of a film is that the script is so thin that it could barely stretch to feature-length. That’s to say nothing of the extended shots of people walking or a plane taking off, which really feel like they are only there to fill out the runtime. Since nothing in the flow of the narrative would change if we just saw that whole scene at once the first time, it comes across as the most inexcusable form of padding. Then return for a nail-biting third time to witness the exact same damn scene again, but now from halfway through with a new revelation at the end. Then see it again with an added few seconds at the end. Watch the military shootout with a terrible blood splatter effect. Given the amount of CGI RE movies (which are also on Netflix), the impression is that Infinite Darkness was only made a series to help it stand out from these.ĭo you like reused footage? Do you enjoy watching the exact same scene a third time? Then Infinite Darkness has you covered. The flow of the sequence of events, structure and delivery are all more in line with a film than a series. At four episodes, it barely reaches the 90-minute mark and each episode cut feels like the credits were spliced into an act break of a film. Infinite Darkness being marketed as a series is laughable. However, to be honest, neither of these add up to much. There are also some connections to the wider Resident Evil lore. Some of the ideas and concepts are interesting, such as having a slow working cure to the virus and trying to keep people alive while they recover. But this information is communicated to the audience either so bluntly through an overly written script, or, bizarrely sometimes, in a way that is so underwritten you wonder why it even had any time devoted to it at all. The agents Leon works with have roles to play in the story. Upon arriving and not being listened to, Leon agrees to help with the aid of two other agents as Claire tracks down the source of how the soldiers rose again. Worried that this foreshadows another zombie outbreak, she heads to the President’s office to warn him. While there, Claire discovers that fallen soldiers were ravenously attacking the living. Kennedy is working as a government agent for the US President, while Claire Redfield is in the stupidly named country Penamstan building houses and schools for the locals of a war-torn town. Set between the events of Resident Evil 4 and 5, Leon S. Unfortunately, it’s not the most interesting start to this multimedia endeavour. The first of which is a CGI anime entitled Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness. These include an upcoming live-action film more in line with the plot of the games and two Netflix series. Now that Resident Evil is being regarded more favourably, Capcom have big plans for the series outside of gaming.

Overall, the franchise wasn’t in the best place prior to 2017’s Resident Evil VII: Biohazard and 2019’s remake of Resident Evil 2, two excellent releases that reinvigorated the series – thrusting it back into mainstream popularity. The beloved video game series has had comics, animated films and a string of much-maligned live-action movies. Resident Evil is no stranger to multimedia properties.
