The future depicted in Into the Badlands may be bleak, but it makes for great television. Five-hundred years from now in post-apocalyptic Oklahoma, a place now known as “The Badlands,” a feudal society of competing barons fight for dominance with their armies of dedicated “clippers” in tow.
Don’t look for guns in this Wild West of the future. Warriors wield Samurai swords, relying on melee weapons and martial arts to fight their foes. And considering the fact that nobody is innocent in the dystopic hell world, there’s no shortage of enemies no matter where loyalties may lie.
Veteran Hong Kong choreographer Ku Huen Chiu (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Kill Bill) and executive producer Stephen Fung steer the show, which has been described as a “genre-bending martial arts series,” and the final episodes are finally here.
