KAMAU ROBERT

Millar have created a sublime action series. At the core of the action is martial arts and a whole lot of sword play. The martial arts scenes are some of the most inventive and well executed on television. Most of the martial arts are different systems of Kung-fu with wire work. The entire production is outstanding. There is stylistic value in the camera movements. The narrative is seamless episode to episode. The casting nears perfection. The action sequences and fight scenes are outstanding. Wu is sensational. The storyline is set in a futuristic medieval civilization known as the Badlands. The world is ruled by a feudal system consisting of barons, viceroys, regions and clippers A.K.A. assassins. One of the most feared and notorious clippers is Sunny who has gone rogue after the murder of his wife. Barons and antagonists such as Quinn, The Widow, Pilgram and the Black Lotus come and go as the battle for control of the Badlands continues. It is no big secret about AMC's decision with the series so the ultimate savior of the Badlands may come down to another network adopting "ITB" in order to let the saga continue. Regardless this is at the very top of genre. If you dig it check out the Indonesian martial art Pencak silat in, "WU Assassins". This series is ultracool
