There've been a few HBO/AMC crossovers with Preacher. Tom Brooke (Fiore) played the son of Walder Frey who kills Robb's wife at the Red Wedding. And Anatol Yusef (DeBlanc) played Meyer Lansky on Boardwalk Empire.

Look at that brick wall. Louie's gonna shit.

The UK version is the US version. It's a co-production between Channel 4 and AMC.

If you've seen the Swedish version, this US one ain't any better. Unless you prefer no nudity, worse acting and a less interesting environment. Then… it's great? Just watch Westworld. Its the same premise but with Thandie Newton's bewbs and no subtitles. This Humans S2 trailer felt supremely boring.

Rarely they do. But I wasn't expecting the showrunners to change the world, just for better writing than this to form, describe and speak for theirs.

Conversely, I see a lot of posts like yours about how this show is simply "fun" and therefore shouldn't be judged so critically. The issues I have with that are two-fold. First, that it implies "fun" and "well-written" are mutually exclusive. Second, that, as we're living in the golden age of television, it ignores

It's kind of a dumbed down, lazily-written show. I think some viewers, myself included, were expecting more than a thin plot with noticeably cliche characters acted out with utterly lackluster performances. If GoT were chess, I'm not even sure I'd qualify ItB as checkers. Maybe tic-tac-toe.

From what I've read, the show was originally going to be called "Badlands" but I hear AMC didn't want to go with that because it was the same title of a Terrence Malick movie. Even though "Into the Badlands" is also a movie title and makes far less sense given that it makes the show seemingly unaware of which

Not when the show's world contains attributes that contradict said conceit. This is a society that has retained electricity, combustion engines, natural resource accrual and refinement, and metal smithing to produce weapons. They have all the elements needed to manufacture guns. Again, I'm not arguing the absence, I'm

What really confuses me is how anyone can think this show does a good job of world building. I mean it honestly feels as if the creators either didn't care enough or weren't creative enough to flesh anything out, as if relying on some mentality of "viewers are idiots, they'll watch anything." I'm not expecting answers

Here's a stray observation: why is the show titled "Into the Badlands" when everyone is already in the Badlands and the main characters are trying to get out of the Badlands?
