Trivia
The book that Sunny is being taught how to read by Veil is John Milton's Paradise Lost and the full line being read is found in Book I, line 22 where the Narrator states: "What in me is dark Illumine, what is low raise and support, That to the height of this great argument I may assert eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to men."

Quotes
Sunny: You wanna tell me how you ended up in that trunk, instead of dead like everyone else?
M.K.: Lucky, I guess.
Sunny: Lying to me is a bad idea, kid.

Get me that art director / costumer

Into the Badlands is a like gloriously silly musical where martial arts choreography takes the place of music. The designers have an eye for some great vertical shots and colours. We are told (somewhere) the motorcycle Sunny rides is steam punk but instead of a close up of the bike we get shoe cam and martial arts cam.

Later in the first episode Sunny gets attacked by a troupe of bowler hat wearing dancers with swords. Of course; they once saw Clockwork Orange and wanted to fit in a homage.

No actors were harmed in the making of this series. The best or is it the worst actor ever to come out of Invercargill gets to read out loopy Southern speeches and be the villain. If pouting was the same as acting he is a clear winner.

The best character called the widow gets great costumes and to do martial arts while wearing high heels and later boots with wedge soles. A glorious blur but that is probably in the second episode.

Still this looks to be a series where the Crouching tiger team get all the air time and those scenes are beautiful. Loving the costumes . In some ways this is a series that could be watched with the sound off and sped up a bit so it is wall to wall martial arts. Very silly but a great deal of fun. P.S Costume designer is Christine Bieselin Clark. Wonderful.
