Season 3 Episode 1 "Enter the Phoenix" - April 22, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018)We get to see the progress of the Widow's War, eliminating the barons with only Chou left. Tilda is now the Iron Rabbit, nice to see her in different colors and makeup. One thing I absolutely luv about this show is the beautiful scenery, the houses, the pond and tree where Sunny and Baby Henry camped. The tall tower the Widow and Nathaniel Moon fight on. Really fighting in 5 inch heels? Also luv the color of the costumes. For a post apocalyptic world it is not all mud and grey. Interesting injection of a new enemy.

Season 3 Episode 2 "Moon Rises, Raven Seeks" - April 29, 2018en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018)Wowza, MK in an opium induced state "remembers" or does he that Sunny killed his mother...funny how Sunny can't forgive Tilda for Veil's death "some things cannot be forgiven" when he is just as guilty, but he doesn't know it yet.

Season 3 Episode 3 "Leopard Snares Rabbit" - May 6, 2018en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018)I liked the conversation between Nathaniel and Lydia and later Lydia and Tilda, about being smart, compromising, and being where you need to be to take your next step. Nice to see Tilda take Lydia's advice and use it.

Season 3 Episode 4 "Blind Cannibal Assassins" - May 13, 2018en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018)Seriously, the episode title just kill me "Blind Cannibal Assassins". I like how the fight choreographer really takes into account the actor's physical shape and movement into creating a fighting style. The scenes between Pilgrim, Cressida, The Widow, and Lydia were good. Tension, players checking each other out. Then of course there was the confrontation between Sunny and Moon. Cute that "The Sun" and "The Moon".

Season 3 Episode 7 "Dragonfly's Last Dance" - June 10, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018)Lily said she would like to be come the River Queen the question is can she. The senseless fighting gets to you after awhile. By now I am amazed there are any people left to fight. Honor gets to be a stupid word as does loyalty to any Baron. The Baron's don't care about the Cogs, they throw them away in stupid battles.

Season 3 Episode 8 "Leopard Catches Cloud" - June 17, 2018 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018)Sometimes when I read these recaps I feel as if I am in a Judge Judy episode and Judge Judy is yelling at the defendents "don't tell me what he/she felt, tell me what they did/said". 1. MK did not make Sunny remember that he killed MK's mother when Sunny was a Clipper. Sunny killed a lot of people and he acknowledged that. 2. I don't think Sunny learned his name was Sanzo, just that Pilgrim called him that. 3. Pilgrim and his acolytes had found and opened the Meridian Chamber already. 4. Bajie didn't discover that Cressida and Pilgrim want to make an Army of Dark Ones, he doesn't really know their plans, he is making suppositions. The scary part was Minerva/The Widow almost getting killed in Chou's trap and being saved by a monk, possibly Kanin, Sunny/Sanzo's older sister. Looks as if Minerva is getting her gift back.

Well Season 3 was 16 episodes long divided over two years. Normally I would call it season 3 and 4 but as the theme is the same I can see why they called it season three even with a one year hiatus in-between.

Season 3 Episode 9 - "Chamber of the Scorpion" - March 24, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018–19)Takes up right were episode left. The colors, the filming, the lighting, the costuming, the fighting all lend to the story. The Widow and her previous master, MK and Nix, Pilgrim and his advisor Cressida, Sonny and Baije, Tilda and Gaius, all these threads, are shown and it will be interesting to see how they intersect. Is Pilgrim good or bad, what is Azra, what is the Gift, I hope some of these questions will be answered.

Season 3 Episode 11 - "The Boar and the Butterfly" - April 1, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018–19)After the way Cressida bullied and intimidated Lydia I am sure that she will do anything to be the power behind the throne, even get herself a new power, or eventually become the power. Pilgrim is dangerous but if Sonny and his friends are smart they will take out Cressida first.

Season 3 Episode 13 - "Black Lotus, White Rose" - April 15, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018–19)Wow, that was one of the most powerful renditions of "The Sound of Silence" I have ever heard and it was a masterpiece of editing watching the final scene of the episode. The above statement needed to be set by itself. You learn so much about Sonny as a child, his family, where he is from. Not all is answered and much is being set up for a bloody, brilliant finale.

Season 3 Episode 14 - "Curse of the Red Rain" - April 22, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018–19)That was a good fight scene but really I wish there had been another arrow machine to mow down the dark eyed ones after they got blown up. The Widow is so awesome with her doing a zipline on her back. Some one had fun and imagination setting up the fight scenes and the stunts for this episode. Seriously Cressida why would anyone believe Pilgrim would offer mercy when just a little while ago you were bulling and intimidating the folks who said they would cooperate with you?

Season 3 Episode 15 - "Requiem for the Fallen" - April 29, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018–19)There is no black or white in this series. The characters have layers, have both good and bad, and it gets confusing as the lead characters that were your enemy last season and now they are your friends. I was so hoping Cressida would get killed, maybe still. However she took a long look at Pilgrim with out her blinders on and didn't like what she saw.

Season and Series Finale Season 3 Episode 16 - "Seven Strike as One" - May 6, 2019 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Badlands_(TV_series)#Season_3_(2018–19)Wow, fantastic finish to the series. When I first started watching I don't think the show knew where it was going except it knew it was a Western martial arts series. I liked how it developed. I liked how the characters where not one dimensional. I liked that different characters had different importance during different seasons, you didn't quite know where they were going. I liked they were not afraid to kill of characters. They did set it up for a possible next season but they also ended the series satisfactory. Note: Really, you expect us to believe a gun buried for several hundred years and its barrel clearly packed with mud would work and not blow off the users hand? And you expect someone who had never seen a gun to know how to use it? Just saying. Had to suspend the belief really hard at that point.
