Into the Badlands

I love this show. The story is gripping and thrilling to watch unfold. But what's really amazing is the art of the show. The filming, choreography, wardrobes, lighting, music, everything is stunning. The fight scenes are always a highlight, always suspenseful, always beautiful to watch... Well, except the gore that inevitably happens but you still cannot tear your eyes from it. Sparring and dancing are merged into one. Words cannot do the filming justice, you just have to experience it.

The love child of Mad Max and Ip Man mixed with an old school Western. This show is nothing like anything else, but there's something for everyone.

I'm not really a fan of steam punk, but this is very well done. High production value and slick choreography.

If you loved Bruce Lee, the old TV series Kung Fu, The Matrix, Kill Bill, Road Warrior, The Raid: Redemption and untold others I'm probably forgetting, then you'll love the genre mashup that is "Into the Badlands." I thought the ads were boring and redundant during episodes of The Walking Dead, but after seeing the first two episodes, it's pure, epic TV. Oh, and best of all, given the times, they banned guns in this futuristic post-apocalyptic society so everybody is highly trained with knives and swords. Yeah, the story is a bit vague and simple, but with with an Asian in the lead role, cinema-level fight scenes, what's not to love?

One of my favourite shows of all time I can't believe they're getting rid of it as it goes from strength to strength. The last season ended perfectly to set up for a game changing 4th season that I absolutely need to see. I pray somebody saves this great program.

The best way to describe Into the Badlands in one word is...underrated. Like so many reviews have already pointed out here this show didn't get the respect it deserved when it was on tv. We're lucky to get the 3 seasons we did and they were able to finish the story in a respectable way but I read the writers had a few more seasons worth of story in them. It's about a boy with supernatural powers in a post-apocalyptic world that's territories are divided by barons. It's one of the rare shows where each seasons gets better and better. The story just draws you into their world and gets you hooked. The fighting, led by the incredibly underrated martial artist Daniel Wu, is just amazing. If you're a martial arts fan or a fan of action in general then give this show a try. You won't be disappointed.
