Eine postapokalyptische Welt wird von sieben Baronen regiert, die wie mittelalterlich Lehnsherren über ihre Gebiete, Ressourcen und Untertanen herrschen. Die meisten Menschen leben in Unterdrückung. Denn ihre brutale Herrschaft sichern sich die Barone mithilfe von Armeen loyaler, perfekt ausgebildeter Krieger, die für ihre Feudalherren kämpfen und töten. Diese begnadeten Krieger, „Clipper" genannt, genießen Ehre und Ansehen. Das Schicksal führt einen von ihnen (Daniel Wu, „Stadt der Gewalt") und einen Jungen (Aramis Knight) mit geheimnisvollen Kräften zusammen. Gemeinsam lehnen sie sich gegen das strenge Regime auf, um in eine bessere Zukunft aufzubrechen. (RTL II)

Into the Badlands (2015)
This has got off to a very smooth start so far. The biggest attraction is the star Daniel Wu, who gives his best in fights. The choreography is top-notch, with amazing cinematography, visuals, and editing, all kinds of limbs are broken in incredible amounts and most importantly it's R-rated, with no shortage of shards in eyes or spears in stomachs. Wu is a real machine here breaking ligaments, arms, breaking a guy's legs against a tree and breaking one guy so hard his thumbs end up near his head. The final sword fight in the rain will remind you of the gem 7 Grandmasters. Story-wise the series also seems interesting, I like the appropriate time period and the young boy is apparently surrounded by supernatural martial arts forces – we have a lot to look forward to, you can feel the enthusiasm for martial arts. The second and third episodes raised the bar very high. The story unfolds brilliantly, the action surpasses almost everything seen so far. An incredibly blood orgy, over-the-top choreographed fights that make me scream as if I were at the Super Bowl, almost unbearable. My new favourte! Along with Banshee, the best action series ever.

Season 2 (2017) (S02)
The opening episodes are perfect especially when it comes to violence and brutality, the series knows no boundaries. But as time went on, I felt that the action was no longer the primary focus and the series focused more on the development of the story, which I enjoyed, but I would have liked to see more action. Still, again, a good series. 8/10

Season 3 (2018) (S03)
This series started so well and ends so blandly. The third season strays from the original concept and it didn't sit well with me at all. It's getting too fantasy and all the fights involve flying, which I don't like. Daniel Wu doesn't show off much in the action anymore, the characters are getting annoying. The only thing keeping the series afloat is the juicy gore, even though even that is gone in this season. Finished more out of curiosity than interest. 60%
