Anyone notice whenever Hood goes to New York...

He's actually driving in from Long Island, which would be impossible if he's coming from Pennsylvania.

What if Lucas Hood goes back to New York, and somehow travels back in time and then becomes cloned with the genetics of soldier boy and then becomes homelander?

I'm just kidding I just thought it was fun to say this 😅

This is a very disturbing picture that comes up in the intro to the show. This is a little girl with another kid behind her bent over and another kid holding her head in place?

Does anyone else like to think that...

Maybe, just maybe, Proctor made it out alive? The offscreen gun battle he goes into in the finale leaves it open for interpretation. Also, Hood had told him in one of the episodes that he had a knack for survival! So, it's def possible!

How can you hurt a sheriff?

Hi all

Just finished episode 4 and i just don't understand something:

People have no problem attacking Hood, and even though not the real person he is still a sheriff. How is that possible? Attacking a policeman is a series offend so i'm baffled..

What exactly aroused Gordon’s suspicions of Carrie?

Im rewatching the show and still in season one. I kind of zone in and out when I watch shows so I was watching when Gordon flipped out and trashed their bedroom trying to find out what Carrie was hiding. What was it precisely that aroused his suspicion?

Banshee INTRO (All 36 variations) Notice how those pictures in intro song foreshadowed and were metaphors for the show’s storylines.

Proctor with the flip phone

I'm on my first rewatch and just started season 2. Proctor uses a flip phone when Alex Longshadow calls him up about Rebecca. I'm tempted to start over and see if he uses a flip phone the entire series lol. I know he uses them as cheap burners but maybe it's that Pennsylvania dutch in him.

Hood is not a fan of showering

Right? Always that filthy hair. Washing his cuts on the sink… why? Take a shower, sir.

Look, season 4 wasn’t great..

But I’ve always been kind of fascinated with characters who have significant PTSD (I have it myself) and I kinda hoped to see more of why Veronica Dawson was so f-d up. Obviously the Satanic dude laid it out pretty well that she’d seen too much in her job, but I just love characters who are seriously nuts lol

Just restarted again, 3rd time

Just finished episode 1 and the rawness is great. Proctor is a fantastic villain. Also cool how most of the cast remained on forever. Sugar, Proctor, Job, Anna, Gordon, Burton, Emmett, Syoban, Rabbit, Alex, even Kai Senior, and the longest serving officer, of course, Brock. What a show.

Just finished the series

Maybe I missed small parts, but what did it mean with the fbi women giving hood that paperwork?

Was it more of a I know who you really are but I don’t care?

Was they still trying to find him all this time while he was playing sheriff in banshee?

Anyone else get this about the show

Banshee is probably my favourite ever show but the thing that always makes me smile is when friends or family are looking for a show and you ask have you watched Banshee. They then ask what's it about, try and give roughly what it's about and they turn there nose up at it. Fast forward a couple of weeks and they have started it and every time they say they love it and cannot stop binge watching it!

Need help finding season and episode for a particular scene

Scene description : Lucas Hood is getting released from prison and he's have a talk with his cellmate who happens to be a white old man. He has some dispute with him at first but then the cellmate gives him valuable advice. I remember something along the lines of not trusting anybody and daddy issues being mentioned in a derogatory way.

I want to rewatch this scene, as it has stuck with me throughout the years. If anyone can provide S#E# or a video link I'd be so grateful.

Thanks

First time viewer.

Hey guys, I just started watching this show, for my first time. I was recommended it on the back of Reacher, and to be honest I'd say this is my favourite TV show ever.

I just love everything about it. I've just finished episode 1 of season 3, just absolutely love the interactions between Jobe and Sugar, well Jobe and anyone really.

Hood is funny as heck, particular in the scene where he goes to save Bowman girl from Alex Longshadow and gets his ass kicked by his sister.

And just love the love/hate relationship between Hood and Proctor.

I'm started to get upset that this show will soon end and there won't be anything to replace it.

I just wish it could go on forever 😭

Ending - scratching my head

My husband and I have rewatched this series about 4 times. We love it! We have very stressful jobs and this show completely takes our mind off of everything. I find it funny that Hood spent 15 years in prison thinking every second about getting out and finding Anna. He gets out, finds her and creates absolute chaos in this little town. He finds out he has a daughter and Anna’s husband dies because of chaos he created. Everyone finds out he’s not the sheriff but they have basically accepted him. But at the end, he leaves. Leaves Anna, his daughter, his friends. And he’s leaving Anna after she just killed a cartel drug lord and they will come for her. It doesn’t make sense. I just wanted a different ending, I guess.
