7/10

Show is one of more original ones and it's relatively funny (especially compared to shows in last two decades).
I liked season one but cant stand season two because the amount of feminist propaganda is making me puke.
Another potentially good tv show ruined by wokeness.

In season four, Resident Evil has really come into its own. I dare say it might be the best show on television right now. There isn't one weak link in the entire cast - spending time with any of these characters is always enjoyable. The writing is top notch - deftly balancing humor, drama, and sci-fi elements, as well as much-needed commentary on the times in which we find ourselves. I always find it illuminating when sci-fi fans can't stand their genre holding up a mirror on humanity and showing us at our best and our worst. It's what sci-fi has always done since the dawn of the genre, and Resident Alien is a shining example of it.

You've reached the end.
