The second episode of "Into the Badlands" keeps things chugging along, but those things are not particularly interesting, and the plot feels recycled and on its last fumes. And it is just the second episode.
Sunny gets more reasons to put his life into perspective. M.K. goes around meeting people. And the Widow fights in curious garments.
The fights in this second episode are good, even if it is curious how women always have to fight in interesting clothing. But as with the first episode, they offer nothing new under the sun. They are well choreographer and are entertaining enough, though. The plot, on the other hand... Let's say that originality is not a word known by the writers. Quinn's actions or the Widow's plotting are quite pedestrian and are there just to keep the 'plot' moving.
