Into the Badlands

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.

I'm currently watching season 3 on Prime and this series keeps on being captivating and highly entertaining. Nick Frost brings lightheartedness to an otherwise dark and bloody piece of art. There is no clear good or bad, but instead every character evolves, changes and fights with their own demons. Clearly great attention was given to the look & feel with beautiful fights that are like bloody dances with colourful and mesmerising backgrounds and beautiful people. Of course it's over the top, but that is what creates a world on its own, a world like in a fairy tale as gruesome as they were before Disney took the edge out of them. I love this series and am sad it was not continued.

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 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.

Into the Badlands is a very underrated show that didn't get the recognition it deserved. It's an action packed thriller that keeps you entertained throughout the entire series and one of the better martial arts series I've ever seen! The fight scenes are the biggest highlight of the show though, the choreography is just beautiful.
