Granted it had some great scenes and the fights were awesome! But the storyline was just completely implausible! I mean it seemed like every single person in the dang show was either some expert MMA fighter or a spectacular street fighter or a master fighter at this or a top level fighter at that or was some all around unbeatable scrapper of the universe lol.

The odds of that many bad ass dudes accumulating in one small town is just way too unbelievable to me, even with suspension of disbelief!

And then, and THEN you're going to insult me showing Hood taking down Burton??? Really? Yeah, that's just now happening! LOL

New to Banshee (on S1:E5). Checked IMDB for the cast listing and saw a listing for Banshee Origins. Is it best enjoyed after watching all 4 seasons of Banshee, or concurrently with the original?

i find myself skipping his scenes. i prefer the other parts of the show tbh

spoiler, when he comes back season 2 i groaned

Just started this show, currently finished episode 2 of season one. What’s “Lucas’s” end goal? What’s he trying to achieve? I thought he took on the role to be the cop for money and cover for a while, play cop, get paid, disappear, but now he’s hunting down criminals, taking them out ruthlessly, and spying on his ex ex con? I started watching this from a clip of him cutting a dudes peen off, this is very different from that scene later down the road lol. I don’t know if I actually want answers, I’m definitely going to binge it when I find time each day, but so far I’m just confused

As I watch this again, it was very sad. Here’s Rebecca, looking for love in all the wrong places, especially with Jason Hood before he gets the Italian necktie. Hood does too- I never bought the idea that Hood was that in love with Siobhan, but here simultaneously, he’s still numb that he can’t connect with Ana, and this is what’s available. I didn’t catch this on first watch.

…in the last scene a cop pulled behind Hood and realized that the motorcycle was reported stolen a few years back, and then it cuts to him in prison.

I know they never would have done that, but as I was watching the last 2-3 minutes I kept wishing just as a “fuck you” to the audience. I guess that’s why I don’t get to write TV shows.

Banshee is my favourite show of all time and I’ve watched the series over and over again, how many times I don’t even know at this point. Apart from the brief scene where Proctor and Burton first met, I’m really interested in how Burton came to be there, what happened to him, and how he and Proctor came to forge such a relationship. I also can’t imagine him ever having a normal conversation, and what did he do in his spare time- watch TV, read a book, or just sit there staring into space 😅 a brilliant character who will forever remain mysterious.

!So I totally thought Brock was going to be the killer, as I think if it was him it would have been an awesome twist.!<

!Like Rebecca was someone who grew corrupt and her gateway into crime was because of Kai Proctor.!<

!Then like Brock would be a vigilante because of our boy Lucas Hood, and kill her and try to frame the devil worshippers because he thought this would bring Lucas back so he could see him one last time.!<

!I guess Brock really never had it in him.!<

I have SO MANY mixed feelings now I just got to ep2 season 4 and I’m having this absolutely love/I hate the writing relationship. Things like characters just disappear and no one says a thing Kat Moody, Brock’s Ex, Longshadow’s sister getting absolutely DESTROYED (I won’t lie I wanted her to lose) but not so much as a PEEP about it after. We make amazing and deep connections to characters and suddenly BOOM dead Siobhan for starters. She was AMAZING and gave good happiness and then…..yeah. Emmit was such a great guy with a deep character arc and then….yeah. It’s like we’re purposely supposed to love these characters just to have them ripped away. Hell even Gordon (hated him till the end of season 3) but then he became a bad ass and I’m like HELL YES!!! And…..yeah. Then we get to the things that make no sense Hood shooting the colonel THREE TIMES with a shotgun and he’s just chilling like nothing happened. Or how all hell is breaking loose in that big fight at the base yet Hood and Gordon smoked like 10 dudes easily then 2 clowns managed to hold them down for like 40 mins (while all of them suddenly had stormtrooper aim) The one thing I’ve been able to count on has been Job (he’s a god damn blessing to this show lol my god he’s amazing and hilarious) and then he’s “whisked” away from all of his friends who are fully armed and none of them can hear it happening 3 feet away… Now I just started season 4 and hoods a hobo in the woods looking like grizzly Adams…. Don’t get me wrong I still LOVE this show but god damn I love it and sometimes I hate/love it if that makes sense. Well anyway episode 3 just started and I’m gonna burn this rest of this season and hope there is some more happy times to come! PS: the way Hood took care of Clayton was AMAZING!!!

My first time ever watching this show and I’m LOVING it. God damn it’s so good. I’m only on season 1 almost done with it but I only have 1 complaint, I wish Hood would have got ride of Carrie or smoked her for setting him up to get tortured and killed. Because she later manipulated the hell out of him because she knows how he still felt, that was cold as hell. Not sure how he could ever trust her again after that. And I gotta say I’m REALLY hoping Hood gets Kai’s help to fight Rabbit and his people. I feel like that would be amazing!

Why did Ana set Lucas up? I understand she didn't want him around, but after the first few times he stopped reaching out to her and mostly minded his own business. In fact, the past two times they interacted was because she reached out to him (on the bench during the fair and when she called him while he was on the heist). So why did she feel so threatened that she had to take him out of the equation? Did I miss something?

on season 1 episode 8, enjoying the show so far but finding myself skipping through some of the more cheesy predictable dialogue. does the writing get better? i love watching hood run around play sheriff, but there isnt much else atm gripping me

I'm into the second season at the moment and the constant splicing of two scenes together is making me nauseous (and I'm mid-chronic pain flare-up, which doesn't help). Does it get better? Please say it does, I have to look away from the screen every time it happens 😩

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

Just finished watching the show and i have to say, i've never been happier to see a character die when Proctor snapped Burtons neck and Kurt shot Calvin

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.

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.

!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!<

Which group would you be more scared of?

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!

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

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.!<
