Slick R @SlickReviewer Aug 26, 2024 People out here don't realize just how elite the fight choreography is on this show. Especially with the swords. 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.

The first season was awesome though.

The returning cast are all solid though the scene stealer is the great Nick Frost as the mysterious Bajie, a rogue who continues to surprise you at every turn when he is not making hilarious comments, along with showing off some solid fighting skills. Behind the camera, the show runners deliver a a nice expansion on the shows mythology. While the fact guns don't exist in a world with electricity and gasoline still doesn't quite work, it leads to some cool fights and aesthetics, making for a fun watch throughout. See more Jonathan K @NojEsco Jul 27, 2022 With a larger scope, higher stakes, faster pacing, genuine levity and an EXCELLENT co-starring role played by Nick Frost, Season 2 of Into The Badlands is exactly what I wanted from the first. Much of this might have been because of the higher budget, such as improved sets and more varied landscapes, but beyond that everything is far more epic, far more intense, the plot more labyrinthine (but never too complicated) and the quieter moments more meaningful. Sunny is great when bouncing off Bajie, the two working almost like a double-act between the killer and the semi-genius/semi-moron, and Tilda, the adorable killing machine, gets a lot of moments to shine as well, her character showing some serious amounts of agency, as well as the performance being far more nuanced. Season 1 was too subdued and Season 3 is almost out of control, so Season 2 is genuinely the apex of this series, and a great testament to how great Western-made Martial Arts entertainment can be, when the thought and effort are both actively accounted for.
