An elite warrior named Sunny (Daniel Wu) embarks on a dangrous, spiritually-fulfilling journey along with his teenage pupil M.K. (Aramis Knight) in this martial-arts drama series from creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. All six episodes of Into the Badlands' first season is featured in this collection, as Sunny begins to train M.K. in combat, struggles to balance his inner beliefs with his loyalty to the powerful Quinn (Marton Csokas), and joins M.K. in dangerous battles with grave consequences. Nick Frost and Lance Henriksen co-star.
This is AMC's foray into the world of martial arts. It's a beautiful blend of drama and action. If you enjoy theamatic fighting sequences and characters worth investing in, then I highly recommend this series. The coreography is top notch. We are introduced to a post apocalyptic world where loyalty and servitude are the way of the land. Sonny, the lead character, serves as the number one soldier to a Baron who rules among others in a world broken into factions. We learn more about Sonny and how he ended up in a position of servitude as well as what he stands to lose and what he is willing to sacrifice to defend it all. With only 6 episodes in the first season, you find yourself wanting more by the time it is over. The story is rich, the characters are exciting and the overall tone will keep you wanting more. With a second season on the way sometime in 2017, you will find yourself screaming when it ends. I don't want to reveal any significant details as I personally hate spoilers. If this sounds compelling enough for you, there are plenty of places that you can search for in terms of more telling details. AMC has managed to deliver another sure to be hit and I look forward to many seasons to come!
