[Into the Badlands](http://www.amc.com/shows/into-the-badlands) premieres tonight after **The Walking Dead**. I’ve been looking forward to this. It sure looks interesting; martial arts replace firearms in a feudal post-apocalyptic future.

I don’t have a lot of hope for this, as the review I read said that the sound effects are deafening and very distracting. We shall see.

I missed the first minute or two. Was there an explanation of where/when/why things are they way they are?

There was a series of wars long ago and then a group of 7 men & women (the Barons) seized power, outlawed guns, & reinstated feudalism. Hopefully we’ll get more detail; the worldbuilding is what interests me most.
