One certainly hopes that a revival on another network or streaming platform will allow for this to come to fruition (it certainly wouldn’t be the first time), but it is nevertheless undeniable that “Into the Badlands’” final season delivers everything fans have come to expect from the series and more. Unfortunately, the second half of the show’s third season (released with a considerable gap from its first that it effectively constitutes season four) would sadly be its last, while concluding on a finale that makes clear that the cast and crew have more stories to tell the world. Indeed, the series is also unique in bringing wire-fu to episodic television to an extent simply never seen before by Western audiences, pointing to Yuen Woo-ping’s “ True Legend” as a clear influence. From the various Marvel-Netflix series’, “ Warrior”, “ Wu Assassins” and a plethora of other streaming and broadcast series, action on the small screen now rivals and very often surpasses anything on the big screen, and a great deal of the credit for that belongs to the standards set by “Into the Badlands”. Premiering in November 2015, “Into the Badlands” elevated action on the small screen to a whole new level in its six-episode first season Fast-forward just a few years, and not only did “Into the Badlands” continue to crush it throughout its run, but action-driven television across the board would follow its lead. All good things come to an end, as they say, and so to is it the case for AMC’s “Into the Badlands”.
