10 Awesome Performances Trapped In TERRIBLE TV Shows

10. Lance Reddick - Resident Evil

Netflix's recent Resident Evil series really was just awful, wasn't it?

Though somewhat ambitiously attempting to do something quite different with the IP, the series ultimately strayed far enough from the source material as to basically feel like a generic sci-fi horror series with the Resident Evil branding cynically slapped on it.

Despite strong production values for the most part, the storytelling was an elongated, convoluted mess, failing both as its own story and a half-baked attempt to slot into the existing Resident Evil lore.

The single saving grace was the great Lance Reddick, who despite the dud show he was ensnared within, acted his ass of as this new iteration of villain Albert Wesker.

While some of the things the show does with Wesker are major head-scratchers - if not unintentionally hilarious - Reddick is the glue scarcely keeping it all watchable.

In a better show he could've easily become the definitive live-action version of Wesker - against admittedly slim competition - but instead he's the only truly laudable aspect of this trainwreck.

Unsurprisingly given the vocal fan backlash, Resident Evil was cancelled by Netflix after a single season.
