AMC's goal for "Into the Badlands" was twofold: produce a compelling character drama, and introduce the highest caliber of martial arts filmmaking to a weekly, ongoing series. Left in the hands of creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar ("Shanghai Noon," "Smallville"), the series stars Daniel Wu as ruthless, prodigiously skilled warrior Sunny, who mentors teenage boy M.K. during a spiritual journey across a feudal civilization known as the Badlands. With the help of trained assassins like Sunny, the area is ruled by rival barons, and for decades Quinn has consistently outflanked and outmaneuvered his fellow barons to keep the upper hand. His invincibility, however, begins to fade in light of brazen attacks by the newest baron, The Widow, who believes M.K. is the key to her success. As the battle for control of the Badlands heats up, the destinies of the stoic assassin and the impetuous teenager become intertwined.

My disappointment in the final episodes doesn't take away from the things I did love about the show... Maybe I should be happy that any women survived at all in the final bloodbath, and that they were there and badass to begin with. Go to Full Review

If you're able to buy in, the cast flies through the air with swords drawn, childlike glee is the natural reaction. Go to Full Review
Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily 03/22/2019
The journey has taken more twists and turns than one of its fight scenes and at this point, right near the end, it truly seems to be playing for the hardcore fans only. Go to Full Review

...a completely brutal, high-octane, final story arc that will leave you with your fists clenched, teary eyed, and ready to launch into new adventures. Go to Full Review

I enjoyed reuniting with each and every single one of these characters, though I do hope episode 2 kicks off the main arc of the season in a way that episode 1 did not. Go to Full Review

Slick R @SlickReviewer 08/26/2024 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. See more Antoniofranco D @Antoniofranco 08/06/2023 A very cheap production, with no original ideas, bad acting, and over the top action sequences See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 07/07/2023 Solid final season that falls apart at the end with trying too much with its mythology, but still delivers some full action and characters. The cast remains solid, with Nick Frost continuing to steal the show as Bajie, the thief with a heart of gold, while new addition Babou Ceesay is nicely menacing as Pilgrim, the new villain of the series. Behind the camera, show runners Gough & Millar build on the overall story but add a little bit too much mythology, making it a bit confusing at times. While the larger story benefits from a bigger season at 16 episodes, it still gets a bit convoluted at times. Thankfully, there is still plenty of cool action, the hallmark of the series, to keep you busy. Overall, a fun binge on Netflix. See more Katlego L 10/04/2022 One of the best Amazing series I ever watched. So powerful. Good story, Strong characters, beautiful cinematography, and fantastic combat choreography. Its a must see series. See more paul b 02/07/2022 Absolutely sensational series from beginning to end—the story, cinematography, set pieces, costumes, and acting are simply mesmerizing. If you like your Fu served up brutal, the fight scenes are breathtaking. One of the few shows that got better over time. I loved every single blood-drenched minute of it. See more 11/24/2021 I wish there was more episodes of this I loved it I was gutted when it just finished x See more Read all reviews
