From Oval Office meetings to black helicopters coasting over the Middle East, Resident Evil s latest Netflix adaptation is packed with charged imagery but please don t suggest it has any political ideas if you happen to be reviewing it, says Netflix.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness first season is out now, and by all accounts it sounds like a pretty decent show. But when reviewers examined their embargo materials that clarify when reviews can be posted, they noticed the unusual request from the series producers.
Promoting his own review on Twitter, Gizmodo staff writer Charles Pulliam-Moore noted that part of the embargo included not mentioning the show s pointedly political themes. Having been sent a copy of the embargo email, I can confirm that it does indeed ask that reviewers not link the fictional show with any real-world political topics. Capcom and Netflix both declined requests for comment.
