Warning: Full spoilers for Into the Badlands: Season 1 follow.
On a very surface level, Into the Badlands' first six episodes were enjoyable to watch, if not appointment television. As I mentioned in one of my early episode reviews, AMC's fusion-future setting and story elements felt like a first-year film student had made them, and that didn't really change over the course of Season 1. Usually, the world-building felt like it was stitched together from other, better universes, creating a mismatched patchwork. The acting here was also hit-or-miss, which didn't help things.
Granted, some characters and story elements would come to play off each other in fun or interesting ways. Daniel Wu as Sunny, for instance, turned out to be a strong, compelling lead, and his character's internal struggle was a constant high point in the series -- especially as it pertained to his Baron master Quinn (Marton Csokas), Colt apprentice M.K. (Aramis Knight) and secret paramour Veil (Madeleine Mantock).
