I just started Into the Badlands.  I've only seen one episode but I really like it so far.

I complain all the time about how over dystopias I am, but give me a ultra-bright color scheme and suddenly I am into it.  I think a good 75% of my boredom with gritty/grimdark is literally just if they look gritty, grim, and dark.  You can sell me on so much just by making it pretty and colorful.

(And seriously guys- Into the Badlands is the prettiest and colorfulest)

I'm the same way regarding dystopian worlds in television/movies, since most often go towards desaturation because they think it's a reflection of the dark grittiness of the world. However, that has gotten old and tired fast, and I just want something that actually has color. You can still have a dystopian world with dark shit happening while showing a vivid color scheme of the world. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.
