Into the Badlands is a genre-bending martial arts series very loosely based on the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West. In a land controlled by feudal barons, Into the Badlands tells the story of a great warrior and a young boy who embark on a journey across a dangerous land to find enlightenment.
"We’re incredibly excited to blaze the trail, bringing a martial arts drama to television," says writer/co-showrunner Miles Millar.
The show stars Hong Kong film star and master martial arts filmmaker Daniel Wu (City of Glass, The Heavenly Kings), Emily Beecham (28 Weeks Later, The Village), Sarah Bolger (The Tudors, In America) and Oliver Stark (The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box, My Hero).
The project was created by writers/showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar (Shanghai Noon, Smallville). They'll serve as Executive Producers alongside Oscar-nominated producers Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg (Pulp Fiction, Contagion), as well as Stephen Fung and Daniel Wu (Tai Chi Zero).
How could I have missed it? Watching first episode of S1 and it's awesomely bad. Hyped.

That first first fight scene with riders were Sonny breaks guys back by pulling his legs to his head like some fucked up chiropractor was pure gold made of cheese.
Awesome B movie quality. The fight scene in rain - nice homage.
So first ep pulled right strings in my love to good bad films.

The world they created has huge potential IMO. I thought this show would be a parody after seeing the first ep, but it turned out to be great. Hopefully they can work things out in the second season.
Second season is already airing and it's better. Better budget? Did they show Trump's wall in the first ep
I don't like this season..It's boring in general and what's worse the fighting scenes are not as good as the ones in the first season...Maybe it'll get better..
