Apocalyptic Kung Fu

Tired of apocalyptic stories with zombies (The Walking Dead), power outages (Revolution), dying cities (Terra Nova), other scenarios? Well, how about walled cities, child soldiers, and kung fu?

AMC's Into The Badlands has these elements and more (premiering tonight).  Take a look at the trailer and read a little more:

Centuries from now, a feudal society has emerged in the wake of civilization's destruction. This area is now called the Badlands and is uneasily divided among seven rival Barons. Each Baron enforces their iron rule with the aid of loyal armies of trained assassins known as Clippers.

The most lethal of the Badlands’ Clippers is Sunny (Daniel Wu) -- the Regent (Head Clipper) and most trusted advisor of Baron Quinn (Marton Csokas). For decades, Quinn has been unchallenged as the Badlands’ most powerful Baron; however, the territory’s newest Baron, The Widow (Emily Beecham), has begun testing his appetite for a fight.

One day, Sunny rescues M.K. (Aramis Knight), a teenage boy who has survived a deadly ambush. Sunny soon comes to understand that the teen harbors a dark secret and has a hefty bounty on his head. Together, they will embark on an odyssey that could mean the difference between chaos and enlightenment for everyone in the Badlands.

I have not followed most of the genre, though I have found a few worth following, such as The 100. So I may give it a try. Even the end of the world can have its positive moments.
