Okay, the trailer LOOKS good...but it doesn't look like a Resident Evil story. It just kinda comes off like "Why are you using this IP if you're not gonna actually include anything but a faint aesthetic from the games? Where's the monsters? The characters? The stuff we came to know and love?" Like, oh wow, you included a typewriter, big whoop. I would have preferred a licker, or a hunter or recreating that "zombie slowly turns around from eating a corpse" moment from the first game...

"But by and large, when you make the right moral choice on the show, you tend to be rewarded"...uh...what about folks like A-Train? He had been feeling guiltstricken about what he did to Hughie's girlfriend for several seasons now AND he saved Hughie's life from Homelander, AND he died because instead of going right through another civilian via superspeed, he swerved and tripped because he didn't want to endanger another innocent life...and he got horribly beaten to death. So he got punished for doing the right moral choices. Also, HUGHIE is being punished, he's for the most part made right moral choices and he's losing all the people he cares or cared about.

"Mostly, though, it seemed to promise an exploration of football's psychological horror that would leave audiences peeking through their fingers." Yes, and it didn't deliver one iota. The main character seems to have literally no objections whatsoever to stuff that's clearly against the law. He doesn't object at all in any meaningful way, he doesn't express any real concerns or "Hey, this is kind of messed up" to what's happening, and then the ending is just lame. Nothing's really properly explained.

Also, Marlon Waynes did not do a very good job.

Not into the new Devil May Cry. The director of the series completely misses the point of the series and demons in general. They're not this poor, put-upon minority group. Literally every single one with the exception of Sparda or his two apprentices, or Trish or Bradley in the DMC canon are either horrid, man-eating monsters or only respect power and submit to others and stop killing humans only once you beat the crap outta them. What does Adi Shankar think Mundus was? Argosax the Chaos? Has he forgotten that when Vergil literally threw away his human side and became pure demon, a psycho who turned into a mass-murdering, destroyed-a-whole-city demon that was causing damage for over a month?

It's not good Devil May Cry. It's bad fanfiction.

There's no way this would stick. The idea is mutants are supposed to be stand ins for oppressed minorities, you can't really do that in a world where EVERYONE'S got powers. You do that, then the analogy (which was already poor because no Jew can move metal with their mind and no black man can go inside people's heads and mind control them) collapses even more.

If you're not playing Scarlet Hollow...

WHY AREN'T YOU? It is incredibly amazing, I'm being dead serious, this is not a joke, go and buy this game and play it already.
