Banshee: The Complete Second Season (DVD)

This season of Banshee is so entertaining that watching regular network TV after was painfully boring. My wife and I binge watched all the episodes over a 2 day period, if we didn't have jobs we would have watched all episodes in one night. If you are squeamish about violence and r rated sex then this is not for you. If you aren't then your in for a rollercoaster ride of multiple plot lines, great fight scenes, and also a study of morality. All the characters are multi- dimensional, so forget this show if you like obvious good guy bad guy paradigms. But if you like cutting edge plotlines and realistic portrayals of human emotions then this is for you. The unrealistic part is that many characters appear superhuman. This is an escape from reality, in that we see ordinary humans doing extra ordinary things. Strongly recommended as are many of the great shows on Amazon , like Veep, Transparent, and Catastrophe.

Awesome show. This ranks up there with Justified. It has a lot of action and a descent story. It is a little unbelieveable that a sheriff can kill that many people, even if while on the job, and not have outside people looking into his actions. The story line is basically this: This guy gets released from jail after serving 15 years for robbing a diamond place. He then starts looking for his ex girlfriend who was with him but he let her escape while with the diamonds while he took the wrap. He finds her in the town of Banshee living under another name and married to the town DA. While in town, a man who is coming to be the new sheriff, who no one has actually met or seen, gets killed in a bar that was being robbed. The Ex con takes his identity and becomes the new sheriff. He then runs the town in a un conventinal way but it is effective. Oh ya, it is Omish country and the locally crime boss is an ex communicated Omish man. That is it in a wrap[ with out giving out to much info. Do as I did and rent the first episode form amazon and determine if this is your type of show.

As riveting as Game of Thrones, Cinemax's Banshee comes with a modern (Pennsylvania), criminalized and evangelized twist. It showcases the deep, intensified emotional roller-coaster of a town overridden with corrupt city officials and organized criminals. However, there's still a goodness in the town itself and within many of the citizens living there. In the first season, the writers do a lot of character development (especially in episodes 1-3). However, the secrets of each of their personalities are actually revealed in small snippets within each episode. And that trend continues in season two. Banshee's overall story-line itself is definitely not for the faint at heart. There are immensely deviant plots sprinkled throughout both seasons one and two (and I can imagine even more in season three which is currently on pre-order). Season two delves even deeper into the main themes of the Banshee story: good vs. evil and the internal / external struggles that come with that battle i.e. crossroads, occupational struggles, political disorder, anger and revenge, sexual deviations, spiritual struggles, the impacts and aftershocks of emotional and physical abuse, as well as the human's ability to believe in the best regardless of the visible circumstances. The negatives to Banshee are: nudity, obscene language and the religion is placed in a overtly debauchery-type light.

Explicit adult drama starring NZ actor Anthony Starr. Pretty good but story line is unbelievable ie. the good guy always comes through.

A pastoral small town, with a new sheriff; Manhattan; a strong male lead with incredible presence/piercing blue eyes (why isn't he famous yet??); stolen identities; Amish ( good... and good Amish gone BAD); Indians; and reservation sovereignty; three quirkily beautiful BADASS female leads; Asian drag queen with Attitude and MAD Skillz; a black ex-boxing champ, ex-con who owns the town bar, heart of gold; a strip club; neoNazi skinheads; murderous Ukrainian gangsters; obsessed FBI agents; computer nerd; blood; prison life; a deadly bow-tied, spiffy, accountant-like 'cleaner-fixer'; blood (mostly from fistfights...); stolen identities; TWO long-running psychopathic villains - coincidentally with MAJOR family issues; epic-ly star-crossed lovers; (explicit gratuitous sex and nudity...😞); love triangles; violence, blood and more violence; did I mention BLOOD?; heartbreak ; incest; secrets; a whole lotta daddy issues; mysteries; crimes; good and bad shifting places... over-and-over-and-over... Highest feature film production values. Superb scripting. Amazing acting. Edge-y editing. Several simultaneous storylines. Luminous lighting. NOT NOT NOT a cartoon, like the logo might indicate!!! Words do not do this series justice. Strap yourself in and turn on 'Banshee'...

Great story

This show is like that song, help me I think falling in love with you. but don’t make the mistake an get close. cause I’m not the one to make friends quickly, I have my own to take care of. but like I said before this guy Antony Starr” I love his quirky acting style especially when he’s fighting it’s like Jackie Chan. the drunken style fighting. but on a lighter side of things is Job (Hoon Le) when that guy is on screen his presence is know. even though most of the words out of his mouth is a swear word they’re funny as hell.” this is not your average run-of-the-mill T.V. show no sir-re, this has depth an more character driven that pop. Love Every Minute of This Show.

Die Serie Banshee gehört mit zu den besten Thriller-Action-Hammer-Serien, die ich je gesehen habe. Diese 2. Staffel reiht sich natlos an das Ende der 1. Staffel an und geht noch spannender, härter weiter. Hut ab vor den Drehbuch-Autoren und Regisseuren. Im Fernseh läuft sie leider nur auf Sky-Action und ist somit bei dem meisten deutschen Publikum nicht bekannt. Schon die erste Staffel ging hammerhart und spannend zur Sache, die zweite folgt diesem Trend noch mit Steigerung. Allerdings ist die Serie nichts für schwache Nerven - sie ist zu Recht mit jeder Folge ab 18: Ultrahart, brutal, tief gefühlvoll, schonungslos, blutig, erotisch, gespickt mit Sex á la Strike Back, spannend, voll actiongeladen, hammerhart. Man fiebert sehnsüchtig auf die Veröffentlichung der 3. Staffel auf Blu-Ray mit deutschem Ton, welche zurzeit auf Sky-Action zu sehen ist. Wie dem auch sei: So eine Geschichte wurde m. E. bisher auch nur vergleichsweise nicht geboten. Ich kann nur raten, diese Serie, beginnend ab der 1. Staffel, sich zuzulegen. Ich habe sie mir mittlerweile schon 2 mal reingezogen.

Banshee Seasons ONE , TWO and upcoming THREE, are all solid entertainment for action fans and lovers of great television. This is the best show currently on TV. I cannot wait to see the next season and see where the writers take this.

Leider konnte ich sie nicht in deutsch abspielen warum auch immer schade ist sonst eine tolle Srerie. mfg.Ayhse hatte mivh so darauf gefreut

Endlich kann ich weiter schauen. Hammermäßig auch die 2. Staffel. Ich habe schon sehr viele Serien gesehen, aber Bänschie toppt alles.
