    The wonderful fight scenes and the excellent work by the costume department are the pluses. The minuses outweigh unfortunately and by a long shot at that . A bland disjointed script with absolutely zero believability, badly directed and poorly acted. Danny Wu is as wooden as you can get. It's been put through the PC filter also to further compound the mediocrity. A forgettable experienceThe wonderful fight scenes and the excellent work by the costume department are the pluses.

    Season 2 of 'Into the Badlands' is even more badass than the previous one. It sure has narrative flaws, but the entertainment it delivers by displaying marvelous action sequences it absolutely wonderful.

    I held off on watching this show for so long because of low critic ratings. Stupid me. It's not perfect but I'm able to look past the negatives with this one. The fight scenes are amazing but it's not just that. I actually find the story intriguing, even if some scenes feel out of place or are acted poorly

    Definitely flawed but the highs outweigh the lows for me. They know their audience. I hope they can keep up the pace like they did last season, I'd hate to see this show get canceled

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 1 was great...The second half of this season is full of people switch sides every 5 minutes, especially towards the end. Tons of scenes that just don't make any sense because the don't fit the characters in that scene. Every few steps someone takes, they just flip back to changing what stance they just had...even MK. Sunny's blind rage attack into the fire made no sense as well. Sunny really didn't think to finish the job before checking on the other two...really?… Expand

    It isn't a bad show, in the sense of being a total swing and a miss. It isn't, however, the type of series that would be a gleaming jewel in anyone's programming crown. It's too derivative. Too uninvolving. Too inertly paced.

    Badlands is a wilder, richer adventure in every respect [than Marvel's Iron Fist], 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.

    Sure, at times the series feels slightly too busy, with too many layers of political intrigue, but most of those political scenes are quickly balanced out by a well-choreographed fight.
