Don't expect "Breaking Bad", "Mad men", or "the Walking Dead". In fact, if you can curb your expectations, you would probably enjoy this
I do. This is a martial arts "Epic",
This is a martial arts drama, driven by character interaction, and a dystopian sci-fi motif. Like anything touched by AMC it is extraordinarily well done, but...now here's the "kicker"?
This story does not transcend its medium: In other words, unlike RAGING BULL, whose fans love and exhort Scorsese's medium as the "Rem" of all genre-based productions, "into The Badlands" does not seek to transcend its roots; it merely seeks to acknowledge them - with good scripts, good dialogue, good performances, and excellent production values.
In short, if you like martial arts stories, you'll either like or love this epic; if, however, you are indifferent to such joys, you might not enjoy this epic.
