Just finished banshee is there anything else like it?

Sad that the show ended with only 4 seasons I was hooked from start to finish and I'm already craving more is there any other shows out there that are as violent and gritty as banshee?

Edit: didn't expect so many suggestions thank you all sm

Season 3 ep 7 - a refreshing POV

Spoilers for those that haven’t seen it.

Just got into this show and have been watching it nonstop. S3e7 was the military base heist. The POV, while erratic, was a very refreshing angle. It built the tension up very well.

Authentic USA friendly Blu-ray collection

I have been trying to find a proper region free or at least region a friendly version of the complete series of banshee. But I really seem to be running into a lot of dead ends and I check reviews to see if they are region friendly and they're not. I'm not saying that it doesn't exist but I certainly am having a hard time finding it so I have come to this thread to see if anyone here owns a collection of the series that is USA friendly. Please and thank you to anyone who's willing to help.

So Bunker...

!Bunker just fucks his brothers wife and thinks he's doing what's right/presented as a good guy redeeming himself?!<

!He's just like Carrie when you think about it cheating on her husband with Hood; and as a result Carrie is not well liked among fans. Yet Bunker seems to be beloved! Though Carrie is much worse since she tries to have Hood killed before beginning her affair with him!<

How many actually live in Banshee?

I love this series - it could be unrealistic and cringe - BUT it's not. It get's away with everything in such a smooth and perfect way. I love how all these super crazy maniacs from different groups all go wild in Banshee, which is supposed to be a small, in the middle of nowhere, town? They drink, fuck and fight - all the time. At least 1 death and 1 par of ti**s every episode. Some epic battles and some truly memorable moments.

Thanks Banshee for being the nr 1 show for all who love action in full speed - it was a great ride!

Started Watching, Now I'm Hooked

I didn't even know about this show until I saw a clip on YouTube. I'll say what the clip was that got me hooked at the bottom to prevent any spoilers. However I'm absolutely hooked. This has to be the best show I've seen in a while.

Everything to the music, gore, visuals is just perfect. It's truly a underrated masterpiece.

Clip: Hood and Bunker, Bunker asks for a position and gets declined - then it's a montage of Bunker

Brantley appreciation post

A morbidly obese crime boss with an obsessive-compulsive disorder who dressed in three-piece suits like he was a businessman that just walked out of the "Texas oil boom" era. He travelled in a trailer converted into a full-fledged office. Well-spoken and witty, but with a reputation that seemingly even terrified the FBI. His enforcers also dressed in old school suits, while at the same time utilized some high-tech weaponry such as the electric shock gloves.

That's some of the wildest villain characterization I've seen lmao. Only weird thing is they made him a crime boss based in Portland when they could've easily made him into some kind of Dixie Mafia type from Mississippi, but that probably would've been a bit too stereotypical.

It's zany how they came up with these colorful spins on real-life criminal organizations - Rabbit's mob (based on the Odessa Mafia in Brighton Beach), Redbones (based on the Native Mob in Minnesota), White Supremacists (based on the Aryan Brotherhood), Black Beards (based on the Philadelphia Black Mafia), Brantley's mob (possibly based on the Dixie Mafia), Morales' gang (based on the MS13) - >!only to have some of them whacked in hysterically gruesome ways after one or two episodes lol.!<

Siobhan

First time watching banshee. So, i just finished watching the episode where chayton kills siobhan and also the next episode where they weren't able to kill chayton and he managed to escape. I really liked siobhan character. And i don't really feel like continuing this show anymore. Anyone else who felt the same way? Should i continue watching this show?

Banshee badass show that there is

The most underrated un-famous show that must run in the league of game of thrones is Banshee.

I just completed binge watching and now im more interested to continue The Boys that I had stopped watching. Antony Starr makes me want to watch more of him now.

how drunk were they throughout the show?

because in every episode of the show (or nearly every episode) they drink in the bar, normally having more than one. so realistically, was hood drunk for majority of the show? i always found it funny how often they drink but seem to never be affected by it.

Just noticed they put the WTC towers in the background during the flashback scene in S03E09. Nice attention to detail

Carrie and Hood sad ending

Am I the only one that is grieving the ending of Carrie and Hood. I get why the writers chose to end it like this but I was physically grieving in real life. I really wanted them to end up together. Am I alone in this?

Deva is a brat

Just finished my 2nd rewatch of banshee 1-4. Maybe its because we as viewers got a different perspective on the situtation but oh boy do i hate her. (Which also means the actress did an amazing job) The way she talks to her parents even b4 finding out her mom was working for rabbit was seriously irratating. Going off topic but is this the way kids are raised in the west? Maybe because im asian because i cannot even imagine talking to my dad that way, let alone my mom. Even after hood explained to her why carrie lied she STILL actively gets into trouble. Idk is this a bad take? Change my mind.

How hasn't this show made it in the list of very best.

In my country atleast, I haven't heard of a single soul who has watched the show. I got recommended this on a sub while back and I thought I should give it a go. Now the void that it has left after completion hasn't been filled.

( Also it has implanted a deep rooted fear of aamish people in me)

Do you think the Banshee territory makes people trauma-resistant?

There are such super-resistant people living in Banshee. Not Lucas and his team who go to a bar to drink after a brutal beating. I saw in one episode a man's nose was bitten off and he didn't roll on the floor in pain and scream, he calmly left the room. Do you think the Banshee territory makes people trauma-resistant, maybe experiments are being conducted there? What's going on there?

Just finished Banshee. I was recommended Veronica Mars?

It seems like an odd suggestion, yet in checking the details see it is about a displaced Sheriff so perhaps it is worth a watch?

Anyone ever notice how Priests are always harboring fugitives in action shows ?

In Banshee Rabbit is being protected by the priest that Hood tries to come at with a pocket knife(lol) in the church

In Mayor of Kingstown Milo is being protected by some priest in a church

In Sons of Anarchy the Priest like holds Jax’s baby for rent and is all plugged in with the IRA

I’m just sayin …

There’s probably some I’m missing but I think that’s enough to at least plant the seed, if not make the point

As time goes by Hood starts to value life and avoids killing unnecessarily.

What do you think?

Even when striking a deal with the guy who came for Lucas Hood's son, he tried to make a deal.

(MAJOR SPOILERS) Are there any scenes you skip on a rewatch?

I sometimes skip Siobhan's death because it's too painful. (When I do rewatch it, I still cry.)

I also skip the longer Declan Bode scenes. That whole plot was the only bad thing about the show.

I finished watching season 4

I finished watching season 4 and I actually liked it. I don't mind that the writers decided to play detective. The intrigue was high. I was actually interested in>! who killed Rebecca and where Job went!<. In the first seasons, the detective was "hidden" - we needed to find out the past of "Lucas" and "Carrie" and put together their personalities from pieces. By the way, the intro is an "Easter egg" - there, from pieces of photos, a story is gradually put together, as well as the plot itself. In the last season, the detective became "explicit". In addition, the Gnostic line was continued from the first seasons (the world is a world without God, evil rules the earth, etc.) and >!a parody of Satan's henchman appeared!<. >!And the question will be asked whether he really exists!<. This was also very interesting. Now about the minuses - I think the story about "Lucas">! being a cool military agent is unnecessary!<. This is already unnecessary and this story went nowhere and I did not understand why it was needed. I also found episodes 6 and 7 boring, the chase for Chayton. No intrigue, >!they just chased him and killed him and that's it!<. But these are just two minuses and they are not such that they will ruin my admiration for the whole show. I will watch them again more than once.
