![]() I am here for her crazy band of companions, including Tommen of House Baratheon. I am here for Lorraine Toussaint as the Mad Witch. One that could shake the Badlands up and burn the whole thing down. The Badlands has always been a battleground for Barons, but this season, there’s a new enemy in town. In my season premiere hype post, I warned: “the Badlands are going to war.” To fans, that might sound redundant. Do you think Nick Frost had any idea when he guested last year that he’d be a mainstay on a martial arts epic? Bajie is back as Sunny’s sidekick and he’s as delightful as ever. It can only be cured by the Witch (more on her later). He has The Gift, but it’s killing him inside. ![]() Sunny’s son Henry is the catalyst for his journey. The show is starting to look like Game of Thrones in that the women are running the show. And the mother/daughter relationship between the Widow and Tilda gets even more complicated. By attempting to play both sides, she’s alienating Tilda. She’s also turning down the advances of a former lover. Lydia takes on the role of Viceroy in the Widow’s region. Alliances are made relationships rekindled. Over the course of the first two episodes, everyone falls back into the traps of the Badlands. Once he has a drug-induced epiphany, MK heads off on his own mission. He’s looking more like the opioid-addicted Quinn than the dark-eyed protege of Sunny. The Widow finds a new Regent in our old friend Nathaniel Moon. ![]() Tilda is calling herself the Iron Rabbit and is siphoning off goods from the Widow when she comes across Bajie as part of the cargo. Lydia is running a refugee camp with Tilda as her right-hand woman. Sunny is hiding with Henry, away from the politics and wars of the Barons. Each step in the path is certainly leading to a bigger and badder end.īadlands season 3 starts with all of our heroes fractured apart from one another. Badlands is thus far not wasting any air on excessive fight sequences or side journeys. The few times I thought we were headed into a filler episode wound up being related to a more interesting set of themes. The first four episodes have relieved me of worry. So while I’m excited for more Badlands, I’m also worried about extra time meaning extra filler. Game of Thrones’ most intense season was seven episodes long. Into the Badlands is more epic than ever before - if you consider extra episodes to be extra epicness.
