      Season 2 – Into the Badlands

      2017 Drama List
      100% Tomatometer 9 Reviews 86% Audience Score 250+ Ratings 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. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Buy Now

      Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Badlands" is a wilder, richer adventure in every respect, while also engaging with big themes about what it means to be a good person in a terrible world. And it does it with a beautiful and blood-soaked style all its own. Rated: B+ Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Kyle Fowle Entertainment Weekly It's a devastating moment, the emotional impact compounded by the length of Sunny's journey. He came so far, and yet he couldn't save Veil. Rated: B+ Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Sherin Nicole idobi.com Into the Badlands delivers Hong Kong style martial arts on a level that would make Jet Li and Yuen Woo-Ping nod their heads. Rated: B+ Jan 13, 2019 Full Review William Evans Black Nerd Problems Nah fam, if this the future, let me perform seppuku now and be reincarnated in the Horizon Zero Dawn future, yo. Bordeaux Mines aka the third year of a Trump Presidency is TERRRRRRRRIBLE, fam. Jun 12, 2018 Full Review Chaim Gartenberg The Verge It isn't the greatest show: it's campy, the politics can be dull, and the acting is often stilted and awkward. But the action is consistently incredible. Mar 27, 2017 Full Review D.F. Lovett We Got This Covered It's not perfect, but Into the Badlands' second season is a major improvement, juxtaposing martial arts sequences with intriguing drama (and some much-needed laughs from Nick Frost). Rated: 6/10 Mar 20, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

      Roxanna S I just love this show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review Antoniofranco D A very cheap production, with no original ideas, bad acting, and over the top action sequences Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Enlightened D Never made it past the 6th episode of the second season because the story got caught in molasses, repeating the same circumstances. The first season was awesome though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Johnathon W Fun expansion on the series that actually sees the world outside the Badlands along with some nice additions to the cast. 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The story is horrible. It insults the intelligence of the viewer. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
