What is Banshee?
Banshee is a balls to the wall pulp action series that airs Friday nights on Cinemax. Easily the most brutal show on television, it's like watching a visceral live action graphic novel where people get punched, kicked, stabbed, shot, blown up, crushed, and otherwise beaten to a pulp every week. It's not all violence though - the show has a highly entertaining cast of characters consisting of Native American assassins, Amish farmers, Russian Gangsters, and an Albino cutthroat. Oh yeah, there's also a lot of sex and nudity. If you're into that sort of thing.
The Plot
