Banshee

[riffjim4069]

Any thoughts or opinion on this show? My mom told me to check this one out (she also recommended Dexter and The Walking Dead) so I guess I'll give it a try since I have the infrequently used Cinemax channel in my lineup.

I recorded it during the freeview.Honestly,I stopped it about half way through and deleted it.For the life of me,I just couldn't get interested in it.

It is ok I am going to give it a few more episode and if doesn't get better it is gone off timers

 

[lparsons21]

That's about wher I'm at with it. First episode wasn't all that good and I haven't watched the second one yet

 

[osu1991]

add me to the list. half an episode is about all I could take

 

[riffjim4069]

I usually resist my mom's recommendations, but she was on target with Dexter and TWD. I'll check it out, but it didn't look like my cup of tea.

 

[whitewolf8214]

It is ok I have tried again to watch it and I am going to give it till end of season and decide

Banshee on Cinemax

Not quite Justified, but if you like one, try the other.

Hell of a kick-ass show!
.
"A ruthless Ukrainian gangster hunts his former top thieves: a woman living in the small Pennsylvania town of Banshee under a fake identity, married to the District Attorney, and her former partner, a recently-paroled master thief who assumes the identity of the town's new sheriff."

I did scroll back through the postings and did not see this series listed.
If I goofed, please merge this post into the proper thread.

I would swear I already commented favorably on this series!
Perhaps I overlooked this existing thread (if so, please merge them).
.
I was a big Dexter fan, but couldn't stand Walking Dead.
Banshee is more similar in my mind to "Justified".
If you enjoyed J, then B might suit you.
.
I was pretty happy with the first episode, but by the third I was hooked.
There's a lot of good @$$ kicking, which added a bit of humor to the stark drama.

S02E01

The story continues.
I just have to decide whether to watch it weekly, or save it up and marathon the episodes.
.
This is a continuous story like a book, all interlinked.
The typical police drama or sitcom is more disposed to weekly viewing, where the story completes by the end of the hour.
Here, when one episode is over, you -need- to see the next one.

I usually save up episodes of complicated plot shows. It is too hard to remember week to week when you watch a bunch of other shows in between.

I love this show. It's plot line totally stupid but the fight scenes and gratuitous nudity make it a fun show for me to watch. It's great to see a fight scene where Sheriff Hood gets beaten up almost as bad as the guy he's fighting, complete with lots of blood and bone crunching noises, and shows up for work the next day with only a few small bruises. These people have quick recovery genes.

S02E06

More bone-crunching violence, gratuitous nudity, and plot complications.

Really glad to hear if got renewed.

(where's the money?)

Question: Got any Banshee Season 3 scoop you can share?

Spoiler

Ausiello: As if the twin threats of Chayton and Proctor weren't enough to keep Lucas up at night, the Cinemax hit is throwing another antagonist his way. I can exclusively confirm that The Newsroom's David Harbour (pictured, right) is joining Season 3 in the recurring role of Dalton, a ghost from Lucas' past who runs a black ops outfit. He's been pursuing Lucas for years and, like a good hunter, does not easily abandon his prey.

Who is Denis O'Hare playing in Banshee?

Spoiler

Ausiello: The American Horror Story vet plays Robert Philips, an FBI agent who is sent to investigate Agent Racine's disappearance. As of now he's booked for one episode, but I have to imagine there will be more. It's Denis O'Hare, for chrissakes!

Any scoop on what's coming up for Banshee's Lucas and Siobhan?

Spoiler

What's coming up is… the Cinemax series' next episode. "You won't want to miss tomorrow night's episode," EP Greg Yaitanes hints. "Their kiss last week was just the beginning…."
