Just watched the first two episodes of this, seems very interesting.

Lots of very cool martial arts type fight scenes, quite graphic, decent story, I'm certainly hooked and will keep watching.

I'm waiting to finish Iron Fist before starting on this. The fight scenes are so slow and clunky in Iron Fist, can't wait for some proper kung fu action in Badlands!

Go Sonny!

Still really enjoying this, I notice they've gone a bit more 'blood splattery' in the fight scenes, no doubt thanks to the popularity of Banshee.

Loving Nick Frost in it too, especially as he's now got some fight scenes, that's certainly new for him!

I think it's one of the best kept secrets on telly - should be far more popular than it is!

Finished the series now, assuming others have too.

I have to say this has been my second favourite series of 2017 thus far (after Agents of Shield), just loved every episode. The inclusion of Nick Frost as Bajie was inspired and I lved seeing him doing some kung fu!

Interesting prospect at the end too, with Bajie sending out a signal to Azra. I was half expecting to see a ship of some sort appear, be it flying or sailing, but I guess that's for the next series.

Shame Sunny didn't get to knob Veil before she died too hehe

Actually that was a bit rubbish, I'm pretty sure Sunny could've thrown something at Quinn or managed to kill him, but I guess Veil took that option away from him. And what of MK now he's with the Widow.

Bring on S3!!

Downloaded S1 and just started watching this.

Has potential but I think I was spoilt growing up with a mum who liked to watch Jackie chan movies with me. The choreography and direction in those classic 80's movies like police story, project A, armour of God, meals on wheels etc. I think still remains the best and most impactful I've ever seen. Modern western stuff just looks a little complicated and confusing in an attempt to make it seem more 'action'

Definitely watchable tho, I'll stick with it!
Certainly stick with it. The fight scenes get better and better as the series goes on, and are on another level in S2.

They were still finding their feet in working together at the start of S1.

Just watched S03E08. Holy crap the big battle scene in the middle was absolutely incredible. Up there with Game of Thrones big battles for me.
