Ein Meisterdieb wird nach 15 Jahren aus dem Knast entlassen und macht sich zum Sheriff in dem von einer Gangsterbande beherrschten Nest "Banshee". Die knallharte Actionserie macht keine Kompromisse: Brutale Kämpfe, rasante Verfolgungsjagden und viel nackte Haut sorgen für explosive Spannung. (Sky Atlantic)
Nutzerkritik Malarkey zur diesen Serie (4)
Banshee (2013)
It’s been a long time a new series made me as happy as Banshee did. Let’s ignore the fact that at the end of each episode, the protagonist looks like a zombie beaten with an iron rod, only to become the properly coiffed alpha male in the next episode as he was in the beginning of the series. This series portraying a city that has a bit of everything is simply superb. Given the size of the city, there’s a great number of Mafiosos, and the audience will grow fond to each and every one of them. And that’s the great thing about this series. Each character has their place in it. The story gets back to each of them and they each affect the story in some way or other. I don’t care that Antony Starr’s character is basically immortal. Apart from this, everything works perfectly: dialogs, camera, atmosphere, relationships. The first season was a pleasant surprise.

Season 2 (2014) (S02)
It took me a long time to get back to Banshee. When it first aired, it hit like a bolt of lightning, back when there weren't so many shows vying for attention. What really stood out then was its gritty setting and intense action sequences, and I'm happy to say that the second season kept that momentum going. After all these years, I realized I never finished the series, so I binged it all in one go. I’m hoping I won’t wait as long to dive into the third season.

Season 3 (2015) (S03)
Season 3 of Banshee is arguably the best and most inventive of the series. The show ramps up the action with plenty of brutal fight scenes and intense moments, featuring some seriously tough characters — whether they’re men or women, everyone here could easily pass as a full-fledged action hero. For me, the standout was Episode 7, where the found footage-style heist scene was absolutely thrilling. The finale is also one of the most intense action-packed episodes the show has delivered.

Season 4 (2016) (S04)
Season 4 was definitely the weakest of the series, but since it was also the shortest, it was bearable. There are fewer action scenes and gory moments, though the ones that are there still pack a punch. However, there are also some pretty cringeworthy moments — like that arson scene, for example. By the end, I was set on giving it three stars, expecting it to be a letdown. But nostalgia hit hard, and the final episode actually won me over. It was a nice way to wrap up the series.
