AMC凭借武打主题的新剧《深入恶土》正式加入周日晚的美剧混战。

　　虽然《深入恶土》只有六集，但是这已经足够让观众对这个剧有个初步的了解了。这个故事是围绕七位“领主”展开的，他们各自经营自己的庄园，里面包括了必需的物资，比如罂粟、谷物和油，而且他们都拥有大量的奴隶(被称为“贱民们”)用于执行命令。除此之外，在这些庄园上，还有一支由孤儿组成的军队，名叫“剪子军”，看起来他们既精通武术，又能完美使用交给他们的任何尖锐武器。

　　在周日晚上(11.15)播出的第一集中，故事是通过Sunny(吴彦祖饰)找到了一个神秘的叫M.K.的小男孩(Aramis Knight饰)展开的。为了进一步探索男孩的神秘之处，他被Sunny带回到领主Quinn( Marton Csokas饰)的庄园——这片恶土上最残暴的领主。不久后的偶然之中，Sunny发现了男孩的秘密——当男孩的皮肤被划伤导致流血时，他会展现出一股神奇的力量。随着这股超自然的力量被发现，故事继续深入，Sunny发现他的过去与男孩脖子上挂着的吊坠有某种莫名的联系。

　　很快，领主Quinn和他神秘的红发对手领主Widow(Emily Beecham饰)都想拥有这个抢手的男孩M.K.。而这时的Sunny作为领主Quinn最好的冷血杀手，却决定帮助这个男孩逃跑，因为他从来没有遇到过像这样好的逃跑机会。

　　周日晚差不多是电视剧界最激烈的战场。大多数人都守在电视机前，看着他们最爱的以龙或僵尸为主题的周播剧。与《行尸走肉》这种血腥的、后末日预言性的僵尸生存类电视剧不同，《深入恶土》的设定是在几百年后的未来世界，在与我们现代社会完全不同的背景下发生的一段故事，这是一部与众不同的、跨越肤色种族的反乌托邦作品。《深入恶土》将会是《行尸走肉》的强有力竞争对手。

　　《深入恶土》于周日晚上10点，在AMC电视台播出。

　　AMC just stepped up its Sunday night game with its bloody new martial arts-themed series “Into the Badlands.”

　　“Into the Badlands” is only six episodes long, but that is enough time to hopefully introduce the bloody story to a mass audience. The story here follows seven rival “barons” who run plantations — producing necessary resources like poppies, grain, and oil — and own a bunch of slaves (or Cogs, as they call it) to do their bidding. What’s more, these plantations also employ an army of orphans-turned-warriors called Clippers who look to be masters of the martial arts as well as any sharp weapon handed them.

　　In Sunday night’s (Nov. 15) premiere, the story unfolds as Sunny (Daniel Wu) finds a mysterious teenage boy named M.K. (Aramis Knight). The boy gets taken back to the plantation owned by Baron Quinn (Marton Csokas) — the most feared Baron in the Badlands — only to discover he has a crazy power that is unleashed when his skin is cut. With that supernatural element firmly introduced, the story deepens when Sunny finds his past somehow connected with the boy’s from the pendant found around his neck.

　　Quickly the hot commodity, M.K. is wanted by both Baron Quinn and The Widow (Emily Beecham) — his mysterious redheaded rival — and while Sunny has been established as Quinn’s best remorseless killer, he decides to help the young boy escape since he never was given that chance all those years ago.

　　Look, Sunday is pretty much the most popular night for TV watching. Most people stay glued to their television sets to see what their favorite dragon or zombie-themed program has in store each week. And while “The Walking Dead” tells a bloody post-apocalyptic zombie tale of survival, it looks like “Into the Badlands” will be its worthy counterpart in portraying a very different hyper-colored dystopia that takes place centuries from now in a very different version of our world.

　　“Into the Badlands” airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on AMC.
