"Netflix's Resident Evil Review - Easily The Best Adaptation Of The Zombie
Franchise Yet"
「網飛的惡靈古堡影集輕易成為至今最佳的喪屍系列改編作品。」
IGN: 7/10
"Although one of the two timelines felt more compelling and interesting to
watch than another, Resident Evil’s first season offers a new, original, and
compelling story that leaves plenty of room for a second season. Despite the
quality imbalance, the acting, special effects, and overall storytelling keep
me wanting more and leave plenty of worthy story threads to explore should it
get renewed for a second season."
「雖然兩條時間線的其中之一比另一條更令人信服且觀賞起來更有趣,
《惡靈古堡》的第一季提供了一種嶄新、原創、令人信服,
且為第二季留下充份空間的故事。
儘管品質上有些不平衡,
演技、特效、還有整體的敘事都讓我想看更多,
同時也留下充份空間供人探索,
值得得到第二季的續訂。」
Rotten Tomatoes: 爛蕃茄指數56% 觀眾評分38%
"For those unfamiliar with the fabled video game series, this will feel like
little more than a muddled, and somewhat tacky, zombie serial, saddled with
the baggage of pre-existing lore."
「對不熟悉這部傳奇電玩系列的觀眾來說,
這部(影集)感覺就像一團混亂又俗氣,
塞滿各種老哏(*)的喪屍連續劇。」
*:直譯是"背負著早已存在的知識的包袱"
應指影集中有太多與既有喪屍片相似的情節

metacritic: 56/100
"As a new Resident Evil title, the series passes the test of including just
enough nods to the franchise to keep longtime fans happy, while not
alienating new viewers at the same time. ... The two-timeline structure,
however, is the show’s weakest link. Though intended to create enough
questions to keep people watching, the abrupt shifts between the present and
future make it difficult to get fully invested in both storylines."
「以一部全新的惡靈古堡作品來說,
這部影集既藉由向原作充份的致敬以討得電玩老粉絲的歡心,
同時又不使新觀眾感到疏離。
然而,雙時間線的故事結構是這部戲最弱的連結。
儘管它試圖創造出足夠的疑點來吸引觀眾看下去,
現在與未來的驟然切換還是讓人難以對兩條時間線全神投入。」

"'Resident Evil' Review: Netflix’s TV Adaptation Is a Biohazard That Should
Be Avoided"
「惡靈古堡電視影集是一場理當避免的生化災難。」
"Resident Evil as a universe has such a rich history, with decades worth of
characters, stories, and mysteries to dive into. Netflix's Resident Evil does
its best to integrate these into a more expansive series but flounders under
poor execution, awkward performances, and fan service that rarely works.
There's a great Resident Evil adaptation in here somewhere, but like the
zeroes scattered throughout this show, Resident Evil mostly just bites."
「惡靈古堡宇宙擁有如此豐厚的歷史,
有數十個角色、故事、謎團值得引人一探究竟。
網飛的惡靈古堡盡它最大的努力將這些整合進一部昂貴的影集,
卻陷入糟糕的執行、尷尬的表現、還有不太湊效的粉絲服務攪成的混亂中。
這世上的某個地方或許會有優秀的惡靈古堡改編作品,
但正如同散落在這場秀裡的許多零頭(*),
惡靈古堡大多時候只是輕輕咬了一口。」

"Resident Evil review: A muddled, shonky adaptation of the zombie video game
