Into the Badlands: Season 1 [Blu-ray]

If you're a fan of action, suspense, supernatural elements, drama, martial arts, or all of the above, you'll probably like this show. It takes place in an AU kind of post-apocalyptic future, where Barons (essentially slave owners in some cases) control divided up territories of land and war with each other over control. The lower classes have very little freedom and choices- most either work in the fields or become soldiers in their baron's armies, but let's just say not the typical fighting style of a soldier.The lead, Daniel Wu, was a great choice. It's nice to see an Asian male lead, too. The actors are all talented. My favorite character besides the two mains is the Widow- you'll figure out why if you try the show. There's strong women in this show, it's far from being all male dominated. Lots of kicking a** and it's a very original take on the genre. It might seem like the post-apocalyptic thing has been overdone but this is like nothing I've ever seen in the genre before.

i finally got this on bluray typical noticeable improvements in sound plus video but the story is in the near future or the just reimagined past the action is typical of madmax violent crazy martial arts better than most not dull but take it slow this morsel is packed with twists that your gonna miss if you don,t absorb what is going on because part two does nothing to help it only moves on if your not rooted in the story you will only get the action and none of the drama oh yes there is a part three good hunting

My friend says the fights are too fake, but that is what makes it unique. Academy award winning Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was done in the same format, a little fantasy involved. Go with it. Acting good too. I love apocalyptic themes and this fills the bill with LORDS ruling fiefdoms of the post modern world era, and swords/fists are once again the weapon of choice. Try it out.

This show is a lot of fun. Some ideas kind of felt simple like hunger games. But a lot of plots or twists that keep it interesting. Of course ultimately the fighting choreography is what sells this and makes it so lively. How did they make the detail in the scenes so hd? Just really superior visuals in this.My one gripe. It's been forever since they've released anything and they only put out 6 shows . Maybe they are planning on canceling?I like the all girl fighting clan. Entertaining. The hero guy is super cool. Hope this show not dead. AMC u still out there?

If you enjoy post apocalyptic shows like I do then you love The Badlands.Imagine a world with no more governments, just different clans fighting for the earth's resources and imagine not many guns are used for defense because bullets have become scarce so people fight with knives and swords.This is the world of The Badlands which features a great story line, action and yes, romance.I highly recommend this show to fans of action and post apocalyptic shows.

I am blown away and in awe.This is not your typical AMC show. Into the Badlands has a phenomenal plot. The fighting, the story, the characters and the actors... this series has it all. It does not fall from the plot and sticks to events in order, full of surprises & satisfaction. I love all the characters and can't decide who to root for. I am a huge Game of Thrones fan, a Stranger Things fan, and a Breaking Bad fan. 99% of television series lose my interest and I generally do not watch them. I don't own cable but do not miss out on this title. You will not be disappointed. I hope season two is just as good as the first. We'll see in 2017.

One of the very best shows I have seen of this season. It is so very well done. I am not a martial arts fan but I am a fan of scifi and fantasy but the martial arts are gorgeously done for a TV show. It has an intriguing story with lots of twists and turns and the acting is of the highest caliber. The character development in six episodes was amazing, it has mystery, mysticism, romance, adventure along with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Not a predictable show at all. I, unfortunately, watched The Shannara Chronicles afterwards which didn't come close to The Badlands. It was cliche and predictable and not anywhere near as professionally done even though it was a different type of show.

First off this series is Amazing. My 4 star rating is because of the packaging. Based on the picture I was expecting to receive a nice box set for season one or at the very least a slipcover that the plastic case slides into. What I got was one of the flimsy, thin, standard plastic cases many blu-rays come in. Seller should at least change picture to one that reflects the actual product you receive.

I cannot give you a review of this item as upon receipt I have discovered that it only plays in Region 1 not Region 3 and therefore I cannot view it. This is the fault of Amaazon as they do not show on their advert what Region applies and now have a dvd that I cannot use which is regrettable.

Bought this for my mum because she loves watching Kung fu and she likes it

really a great series looking forward to the next one

The action is great, the acting is a bit stiff as many are when they start out. The storyline has potential to go for a number of seasons, and hopefully they are made up of more episodes than this first one.I expected there to be a digital version available to me as a Canadian resident ordering a product through Amazon.ca, but after having issues with accessing the digital version and contacting Lion's Gate and then being directed to Entertainment One (being a Canadian resident), it was determined that the digital version was not available in Canada. That would have been beneficial to know in the product description. That comment has been forwarded to Amazon,ca to address.

Always love martial arts shows or movies for that matter, so when I stumble upon this I had to give it a go.and I’m very pleased I did. cause it was good for the first season and I love that action. acting was so so but not terrible.I like movies where civilization has ceased to exist an the badlands are free of people who do bad things.not like watching a cop show when this is not right or that’s not good over an over an over again an again. like stop.I love the way Márton Csókás, acts in this series like his brain is not functioning properly. love it.Daniel Wu Is So Good.
