Did you see it and how did you like?
"Into The Badlands came roaring out of the gate at 10 PM with 6.4 million viewers and 3.994 million among 18-49s for a 3.15 rating. Ahead of Supergirl and Blindspot’s 3.1 ratings result by a hair, that makes the post-apocalyptic martial arts series the top-rated new series of the fall on either cable or broadcast."

I want to like it, but there are so many dumb things mixed in with it.
I love a show without guns, because h2h choreography done right will always be better than a gun fight. However, I hate all the wires and random flips that don't add to the fight, and make it seem even dumber. Also, the victorian theme makes pretty much no sense, and it's annoying, especially when the hero is leather clad.

Daniel Wu is a pretty cool guy. I've only ever seen him in Chinese movies before this so I had no idea he spoke perfect English.

>all the wires and random flips
This TV show was sold as an international show (similar to how other TV shows like 'Hannibal' where the non-US market was just as important as the US one) and that is what Asian audiences like to see
Is this show supposed to be steampunk?
>>62812265
what is steampunk?
>>62812325
No one fucking knows.

>not mentioning the fact that AMC put the preview for next weeks Walking Dead in the first commercial break which was 21 minutes after the show started
AMC manufactured these skewed numbers.
>>62812409
other than Fear the Walking Dead which is spinoff of TWD, AMC really doesnt have another hit other than The Walking Dead. do you blame them for that?
>>62812349
lel
anybody else?

>Tfw the best choreography as of recent were the American only fights in a bad American adaptation of Kamen Rider

>That episode where Xaviax finally says "Fuck this" and fights everyone
Nigga was top tier final boss.
>>62813898
is that white guy in those clips trying to be like the Terminator?
>>62813997
More Blade-like, really. Matt Mullins is actually a really good choreographer.
>>62812409
>mfw they did the same shit with the preview for next weeks Breaking Bad at the first commercial break of Low Winter Sun, half an hour into the show
>numbers fucking plummeted after that break
hopefully this show has a similar fate. seemed too try hard, it all feels so "been there, done that". the way Sonny rode his motorcycle triggered me for some reason, he looks like a complete retard on it

>Even if you do win, I'll be back. I will ALWAYS be back!
Pure cheese, and not in a good way. Felt like watching Power Rangers.
>>62811879
More like into the trashcans
not too bad for a first episode
>>62811879
the fight scenes were pretty solid. everything else was meh. I will be watching it further. Has potential despite what the nay sayers think
It was god awful. An embarrassing, disjointed, clumsy concoction that only a weeb neckbeard autist could ever think up with the atrocious writing to match. Nothing about it makes sense and nothing about it works.
>>62811879
Into bankruptcy is what's going to happen am I right? Alienating religious viewers and making a shitty show? They're literally only going to get the kids that comment on Game Grumps and Markiplier videos.
Fuck you I was drunk and I liked it. Not going to see any more of it because there's only so many shows I can handle and pure kungfu is boring.
>>62817405
>implying that's not a massive fucking market
The sword fight in the rain was cool, but the show aside from that isn't good at all, so its not really worth watching for one or two short fight scenes per episode, if that.
>>62817439
You probably only liked it because it's a biracial show that not-so-subtly satirizes 1800s South and has hipster beard/hair guy telling the young boys there's no God before fucking their sweet young asses.
I like the show but I can already tell le special kid with demon powers will be a naruto tier
I loved it.
I'm ready for the glorious age of martial arts tv shows.
>>62817293
>wuxia garbage
>pretty solid
Yeah bro, nothing like 10 minutes of Jedi-tier twirling shit around and randomly posing in the middle of a fight.
>>62817690
I seriously hope that happens.
>>62811958
I don't expect most of /tv/ to like it because this place is filled with overflow from /pol/ and people who try painfully hard to look intellectual and not be a "pleb."
Fans of martial arts, action and unique concepts will be in for treat judging from the first episode though.
>>62817690
The only question now is who is going to get the rights to make a Fist of the North Star show to capitalize on the trend: Starz Showtime or Cinemax?
Leddit and tv got awfully mad about having to watch 20 minutes of this show to see a 10 second TWD preview that was going to be on the internet in no time anyways. Hope you babies don't meme too hard against this. I'd like AMC to not see TWD as their only sources of profit.
>>62811879
>into the badlands
>Start with awesome fight sequence
>MUH FLIPPY WIRES
Nope. If you want me to take this premise seriously then keep it somewhat grounded in reality.
It's just getting the numbers those too lazy to change TWD and once that season ends. This show will be entering into the Bandlands also known as Cancelled Series.
>post apocalyptic
>no explanation for no guns
Pass.
>>62812265
Dieselpunk wuxia
>>62819887
Fuck reality, it's wuxia
>>62812409
Thought the same thing. I only watched it till i saw the preview for the next weeks episode of TWD. I couldnt have been the only one.
>>62811879
The world is broken everyone has neat hair
