February 11, 201610 yr I really enjoyed "Into the Badlands" this past fall. Wondering what others thought of the first season. I thought the fight scenes of characters "Sunny" Daniel Wu and "The Widow" Emily Beecham were amazing! Although the setting in an apocalyptic future was a bit strange, it was great having a Martial Arts series on television again. I was a big fan of Kung Fu when I was growing up. The visual blood and gore depicted in the fight scenes of "Into the Badlands" leaves little to the imagination though and goes well beyond what I ever saw on "Kung Fu". I wonder how parents feel about letting their youngest watch it? Did you like the show? http://www.amc.com/shows/into-the-badlands
February 12, 201610 yr I watched the first season, you just need to keep in mind that what you're watching "martial art wise" is pretty much like the B movies that came out of China for years..fake and unrealistic.Just watching it for entertainment is ok, just don't start thinking you can whoop-up on a dozen guys and come away in good shape! lol If you don't want to stand behind our troops, please..feel free to stand in front of them.

March 13, 201610 yr It was OK, I would watch a 2nd series, which I believe has just been sign off. "We don't have any money, so we will have to think" - Ernest Rutherford

April 2, 20188 yr I've not been able to bring myself to watch this series yet. Is it enjoyable? https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
April 4, 20188 yr I enjoy it. The martial arts a highly acrobatic and definitely made for the camera. To my inexperienced eyes, it looks like stylized superpowered kung fu of some form.

April 6, 20188 yr I watched most of the first season. Enough to form an opinion that the sword play is Hollywood fantasy and the rest was, well, boring.

December 20, 20187 yr A lot of dislike for this series in these forums, but I am not one of those! I loved it!Unrealistic...of course. Fun to watch, absolutely!I love the world setting, the feudal lord type governmental structure, and, of course, the martial arts.One of my top 3 favorite shows on TV today (along with Daredevil and Cobra Kai).
