Is Into the Badlands improving, or are we just getting used to it?

Maybe a little of both…

Into the Badlands Season 1 Episode 3

This time onInto the Badlands, stuff happens.

More stuff than usual.

And I was entertained.

Maybe even believe it or not slightly engaged.

Which makes me worry.

Actually, never mind.

Thats not really an argument; its more of a fact.

Meanwhile, the characters we do want to get to know Sunny and M.K.

begin their complicated master/pupil relationship.

Were just waiting for the series to catch up with us.

Its sad that it might take more than one season to do so.

Its about the, uh…well, he didnt say, exactly.

But Im sure its honorable and stuff.

Because Sunny learned his ancestral art from a white dude in Tennessee.

Whatever you say,Into the Badlands.

Just give us another fight scene.

He tries it, and Waldo prevents him from even laying a finger on his red leather tunic thing.

We see this coming from a mile away, butBadlandsgets points for trying.

Also, whats up with him and Tilda?

I feel like she definitely likes him, otherwise she wouldnt lie to her mother about him.

I dont think he likes her back, though.

I think he likes her shuriken more.

Or maybe thats just me.

Another big event here: Sunny tracks down one of the Widows girls because of what happened to Ryder.

They fight, she dies.

The Widow gets pissed.

I bet shes going to do something with her swords.

Does she look like Lucille Ball to you, too?

Sunny also has a meeting in the middle of the night with another supermodel that knows karate.

Her names Zypher, and shes sassy yet reserved.

She has a car.

The world has been slowly established, the characters have been introduced, and plotlines have begun to converge.

Lets cross our fingers and hope this is all going somewhere redeemable.
