Into the Badlands Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
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.

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.
-Kalvin Pettengill
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.
