Russell A @Rallen117 Jul 31 I will say I’m surprised it has such high ratings although it is weirdly addictive. First off the writing is beyond bad sometimes. Like Tilda is a regent and the best fighter for her baron but get destroyed by a no name colt just so MK can use his power to save her. That made zero sense. There’s a hundred situations like that, that make absolutely no sense just so the story can progress but it’s just really bad writing. I do enjoy most of the show but I feel the people giving it five stars are on the lower IQ side. MK’s voice is super annoying too. Pros it has some great fight scenes and a few of the characters are really likable.

The only other show that rivals Into The Badlands with the fighting choreo was "Warrior" which was originally on Cinemax, then moved to HBO. All these reviewers rating it so low would rather watch their lame Star Wars series with the worst fighting ever. It's like Disney refused to hire the best sword/light saber choreographers for their $500 million budget series. And yes, I am saying that Into The Badlands fight scenes blow away any fight sequences in any Star Wars movie or series, and even better than big budget franchises like John Wick and Jason Statham movies. It's rare that you get a show where almost every actor on the show fights at an elite level, or at least the camera angles make it seem that way... Regarding the story line it's a little cheesy, but the fighting more than makes up for it IMO.

Then the second season went off the rails. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 06/15/2023 Fun first season that sets up the universe, even if it doesn't quite jell. The cast is solid across the board, with Daniel Wu compelling as the lead, Sunny, while Emily Bechem is sophisticated and deadly as the Widow, who is more than she seems. Behind the camera, the show runners crafts a fun world, with plenty of intrigue and fantastic fight scenes (a highlight of the show). However, not everything quite works, especially how you can have a society that has gas powered vehicles and electricity but no gunpowder (basically, it seems more like an excuse of the show's aesthetic). Overall, a fun watch and worth checking out on Netflix. See more nicky t 10/22/2022 Action, gore, great visuals, and story....I wish they would make a season 4! See more Read all reviews
