"Into the Badlands" AMC (1 Viewer)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Highest rated series debut this season.

I wonder why.

From the article:

"So, yes, the show lost about half of "TWD's" audience, but Deadline points out that it did 5% better than "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul" did in the same slot last fall"

And Justin Bieber has sold 15M albums. Plenty of people out there with bad taste.

Oh absolutely. Lots of ornery old cusses out there too.

I am glad an Asian Martial Artist gets to bang (and impregnate) chicks. Jackie and Jet never got any action. Show is cheesy but will DVR to watch the fight scenes and watch the slave kid turn Super Saiyan on folks.

 

[Statorama]

I'll casually watch it if it's on next week, but I wouldn't cry if it got cancelled either.

 

[The Ref]

I liked it enough that I'll watch it again. But it didn't wow me enough that I'll shut off Sunday night football for it. I see some TWD & ITBL Tuesday nights in my future..... At least until TWD is over.

 

[mr roboto]

Oof terrible acting.

But honestly, visually very well done. Lighting, tone etc. Slight comic book vibe without being too cartoonish.

They also super-saturated with the advertising.

I for one am going to keep an eye out for the grass.

And what's with the motorcycle? Guess they have a refining plant going somewhere.

 

[The Ref]

Already better than dark metal sun or whatever that other AMc show they tried to jam down our throats.

Take it easy OPM, this isn't the SOA thread....... yet.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Again...I'm just wondering.

I mean I saw the goofy kid turn into Neal McDonough or whatever so I'm assuming there is some sort of fantasy bull #### going on too.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm a simple man with simple tastes.

Yeah I'm assuming this world is akin to Game of Thrones or something.

or maybe he turns into some old fart whose fighting skill is shrieking "GET OFF MY LAWN!" until everyone's head explodes.

Is that why there is a Victrola hooked up to a subwoofer enclosure and a print of "Stag at Sharkey's" in the Baron's house?

 

[Zow]

This show is entertainingly ridiculous.

 

[Zow]

Seriously, why don't these clippers just overthrow these stupid barons?

 

[Zow]

So they have cars but most can't read? No apparent electricity though? And no guns.

Why not steal a car and just drive away? So damn confused.

Annoying that they try to figure out ways to force people to watch this. :X

I don't know, I kind of like it - it's a good escape.

I'll take "playing dumb" over "being dumb" any day.

I think it's painfully obvious you haven't, grandpa.

Now, back to the show you really love - when things were believable.

 

[nirad3]

Didn't watch E2, have a nearly-full DVR (thanks, Bubble Guppies!!!) and was just "meh" after E1.... so I'm out. Have fun.

Oh snap. No way I can recover from that.

 

[renesauz]

All in. Lot of stupid things...but that's nothing new in this type of genre. Very entertaining with outstanding fight scenes.

Is it just me, or is the Baron's older wife every bit as smoking, perhaps even a hair more so, than the young blonde wife?

 

[roadkill1292]

As so often happens with this show, my attention drifted away on several occasions while watching. How did Sonny get from being unconscious in the street after the fight with the Buddhist Monk guys ( ) to being chained up in the River King's hold?

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I want to have carnal relations with the red head leading the band of chicks.

She is the main reason I watch. I have a little problem with tall, lean redheads with nice bewbs. Ok, it's more than a little problem.

Add in the leather fetish wear, the high heels, and the fact that she surrounds herself with young girls with Daddy issues and you have a winning plot device in my book.

[Maik Jeaunz]

okay, so this show is really bad. but when Cung Le turned out the lights with his mind and all the monks' eyes turned black, I was a little excited.

 

[Corporation]

Well we took 2016 off in this thread.  Season 2 is upon us.  The plot and dialogue are awful but I really enjoy the fight scenes (and the widow).

Yeah, MK is especially bad.  But the fight scenes and the fact that Nick Frost is in it this season make it perfectly palatable for me.  It's a good show to watch after The Walking Dead.

I think it's exactly what I expected from this show.
