Ain't none of yall watch this last night? Shit was pretty good, love the mix of martial arts with old west period. A lot happened in this 1st ep, introduced to a ton of characters. @Dr. Truth should at least watch this for the chinatown brothel scenes. @fonzerrillii @ansatsusha_gouki y'all should add this as another show besides into the badlands until Netflix drops Wu Assassins as well

I liked it. Kinda pulpy like Banshee and a lot of fun. Lots hot babes, and a low key history lesson on Chinese migration. Good to see a bunch of asian actors get some work. Oh yeah, and the whole thing seems to be a homage to Bruce Lee so I'm gonna revisit some of his old shit as a refresher.

Saw the first episode last night it's good set in 1878 San Francisco. The fighting is on point just like into the Badlands.

I remember being intrigued by the trailers over the last few months or so and I scrolled down and watched a couple of minutes of the middle of the episode. It looked decent. I may have to catch this one while it's still on ground level.

I was kinda reluctant because of CACs pandering to an Asian audience for views and revisioning of history and shit.

Yeah it's violent, one of the scenes at the end 2 guys were taking a piss and an Asian chick cut one guy's head off and you see roll by the other guy foot.
And there's a scene of two Irish goons tenderizing the skulls of a couple of Chinese bricklayers in an alley. There are several fight sequences too that are choreographed pretty well. You can see Bruce Lee's influence on them.

"badlands" is/was that good?
not even close....

Badlands is wire-fu fighting - using only one real martial artist and it started with pretty poor writing

the 2nd season on had greatly improved fighting and writing - it literally kept getting better with each episode

IMO the first ep of Banshee was really similar to Warrior's first episode - I'm expecting this to be better than Banshee

I've never watched Badlands but I agree that Warrior is gonna be better than Banshee.
