Initially I thought this film was going to be drab, depressing and pretentious. I was wrong. The following review may go on to sound pretentious but I mean what I've written.
The words I would use to describe this are enlightening, beautifully gentle, strength, joy in life, intelligent warmth.
Initially as I said, I wasn't keen as I made assumptions on what the film was. Throughout this movie there were several moments I had a tear trickle down my cheek, not because this was a sad or depressing film, but because there are many beautiful moments in it, it brings to mind living in the simple moments of just being, hindsight shouldn't be how we appreciate our lives and the lives of those around us.
This film finds beauty in so much and made me think of moments I have experienced similar, when a glance at something seemingly innocuous holds you for a moment with the unexpected feeling of it's perfectness and uniqueness. Just sometimes, stopping, taking a breath, being still. Seeing things, moments, people for the richness of who/what they are not who you project/dismiss them to be. The way this is revealing of one the film's characters is just lovely. Reminds you gently, to love the way those around you experience life.
It is rare (for me anyway) to come away from watching something and feel it has given me something that I can carry back into my world. But this has, I feel moved and appreciative.
When something makes you feel something and connect with something within yourself and others, whether music, poetry, film, painting, it is art. The way this was written, interpreted and acted, directed, the set, music, edited, it's a lovely piece of art and I'm really glad I continued watching it.
I highly recommend this film.

I started this not expecting much but was proven wrong.
I have no idea why there are 1* reviews, this was done really well. It takes a couple of episodes before it takes on its own life at which point I binged the whole season.
Normally when a show does present day plot combined/alongside with back story plot, the back story tends to feel more token. However, in this it was so well done, I was just as invested in the characters and plot of past and present and in fact each time period was good enough to.stand alone as its own show. That is a tricky feat to achieve but they did in.this.
Fantastic world building and character development, the actors in both timelines really pull you into the plot.
For those who only watched the first episode, go back and watch the rest, it builds and becomes a thriller, sci fi, horror each genre complimenting the others.
Whether or not people think it's true to the original Resident Evil, I have no idea, but as an enjoyable stand alone series, I highly recommend.
There was an attempt in 2021 to do a resident evil show, I didn't like that as much as it didn't have the plot depth, nor much of a range of characters, seemed cheesey and predictable.
The production value of this 2022 8 episode season was on a different level to that, excellent, just need to keep watching and not drop out in.first one or two.

Each episode gets better and pulls you further into the world that has been created.
I liked first few episodes just, but by episode four I loved it! The depth of character, plot and world building is incredible. Every single actor is an incredible actor but I think it takes to episode four to really appreciate that, as at first there's so many different characters to introduce.
It's unusual in any film/tv show, to have every single character regardless of role size to be so skilled and frankly, engagingly brilliant, but even though there are so many roles in this epic production, every single character/actor connects with the audience and gived a real sense of who the characters are in this. So impressive.
I've only given 8 stars as the last few episodes I didn't think matched the quality of the others.
I think from episode 16-18 it went somewhat downhill and what had seemed really tight structured plot up to there, sort of unravels for me. The production values are still present but the story wasn't as tight and flowing. Episode 18 was really disappointing as did not tie anything up. Didn't even leave it on a tight, suspenseful cliffhanger, it just ended an episode.
Increasingly across the board, tv and films have been so shallow depth-wise. I've gotten so fed up of the kind of cr@p being released that I rewatch shows/films that were well made, gotten so used to lazy writing, casting, direction and bad acting that I was not expecting to find a treasure like this.
I won't spoil the plot. But anyone looking on here to see if this is worth watching. First few episodes were ok, but from four, it goes up and up in awesomeness, the first three being the foundation. But then after getting through more episodes, the first few are re-evaluated in.hindsight because the reason they're different is because you're seeing literal character life development and world expansion, as they experience more at which point I appreciate the first few with fresh eyes if that makes sense.
Those whom wrote this, directed it, acted in it, created the set/cgi, edited, produced, are brilliant. If only others could produce this level of tv/film quality instead of the stale hurty brain deadening rubbish that's generally churned out.
This was released, I think, in 2019, and seems to be on hiatus, I hope they do a second season. This is sooo good.
I highly recommend.
