Centuries from now, a feudal society has emerged in the wake of civilization's destruction. This area is now called the Badlands and is uneasily divided among seven rival Barons. Each Baron enforces their iron rule with the aid of loyal armies of trained assassins known as Clippers. The most lethal of the Badlands' Clippers is Sunny (Daniel Wu) -- the Regent (Head Clipper) and most trusted advisor of Baron Quinn (Marton Csokas). For decades, Quinn has been unchallenged as the Badlands' most powerful Baron; however, the territory's newest Baron, The Widow (Emily Beecham), has begun testing his appetite for a fight. One day, Sunny rescues M.K. (Aramis Knight), a teenage boy who has survived a deadly ambush. Sunny soon comes to understand that the teen harbors a dark secret and has a hefty bounty on his head. Together, they will embark on an odyssey that could mean the difference between chaos and enlightenment for everyone in the Badlands. (official distributor synopsis)

Nice choreography, especially in the first half of the series, sympathetically sketched characters and the world - but that's the problem. It's an "approximate spectacle". Incomplete, but it's no problem to enjoy it as a solid B-movie glued together from a number of more famous and better elements.

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.
