I started this show a couple of months ago and it's fantastic. The action scenes are insane too, they put certain big budget movies to shame. Shame it's the final season, show seems to be slept on.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

One of the best shows on TV, it deserved more than 4 seasons.

 

[the black pearl]

(don't skip the first two seasons)

I dunno.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I dunno.

The first two seasons are good though (1 is better than 2 but 2 is still decent) and season 3 isn't anywhere near as meaningful if you don't have the experience of the first two seasons backing it up.

 

[JadedWriter]

(don't skip the first two seasons)

Yeah first season is still great, shouldn't be missed at all.

 

[AuthenticM]

Can't wait!

I'm glad the season is only 8 episodes. The other seasons all had one or two episodes too many. Eight should tighten the pacing.

 

[ger]

Better that we got 4 awesome seasons instead of them dragging it on for a few more and possibly turning it into shit, I think.

[The Illiterati]

Well..Banshee's showrunner (Greg Yaitanes) is doing Quarry and then Red Mars adaptation. That said, the main driving force behind Scaled TV series is Doug Jung and yes, that's a Banshee veteran

Fantastic, I'm really glad to hear this. I really hope they let Scalped be all it can be. It could be a true Banshee successor if so.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Just read the synopsis for Quarry and I can't wait to see it. Hopefully it'll have a strong cast like Banshee.

Yeah. The novels are just so much fun (this is where my avatar comes from btw ) and the talent behind the show is really good. Plus Logan Marshall Green was born to play this character. Easily my most anticipated new show this year.

I took a quick look this morning and didn't see any reviews or interviews up.

But hey, here's a behind the scenes photo from when they were shooting in New Orleans last season. (That's Chayton's stunt double in the foreground.)

- Collider: ‘Banshee’ Season 4 Review: Saying Goodbye in Style

It’s not easy to say goodbye to a show that has made such a distinctive imprint, but Banshee seems to be taking to heart a paraphrase of Neil Young’s words: it’s better to burn up than to fade away.

4 out of 4 stars.

Some spoilers in the review.

Reporting in. I wasn't able to watch Strike Back along GAF due to work, but I think I'll be here with the rest of the fanshees this time around.

 

[the_firewithin]

oh snap this is back friday? i dont know why but this snuck up on me. Glad to jump back in though

 

[mYm|17|]

yup, one of the best action shows ever

Yeah, even Daredevil isn't as good in my opinion.

Banshee Season 4, and Eliza Dushku? I can't wait. Shame it's ending, here's hoping it goes out with a bang!

- Sepinwall's review

For the most part, the new season (I've seen four of the eight episodes) is excellent. Tropper and company find new contexts for most of the characters to match their altered surroundings.

One caveat:

Spoiler

But in the middle of this comes a brand new kind of story for the show, and one that made me cringe not with delight at Banshee's latest impressive bit of the old ultraviolence, but with concern that Banshee had become TV's latest drama to prominently feature a serial killer.

That's an odd choice. Hope it pans out in the end.

Yeah, curious. I'm guessing there's a reason for it though.

In the Season 4 premiere, Lucas gets involved with a vicious serial killer.

The fourth and final season premieres tonight!

I'm not sure I'm ready for the end to begin.

GET HYPE

 

[rocketskates]

OH YES

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Game on!!

 

[SwiftDeath]

Wow forgot about this

HYPE

 

[Macattk15]

Oh I am sooo soooooo sad.

Spoiler

Rebecca

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

This is so fucking violent. WTF

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

wow! That was so well done. Very good television.

A bit on the violent side though. Classic Banshee

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Oh I am sooo soooooo sad.

Spoiler

Rebecca

That wasn't supposed to happen. I'm not pleased

 

[Numb]

in there

 

[DBT85]

Literally just finished season 3 tonight so can't wait to see the start of this.

Bunker gonna be fucked up and even more pissed!

EDIT:
Woop, nice setup for the rest of the series!

 

[holygeesus]

Will this only be on Cinemax? No chance of US iTunes? Any way to legitimately watch it outside of the US? I don't mind paying for a subscription service.

 

[DirtyManos]

Aw man, sad to see that's how the season is starting

Kind of a relatively tame season opener, let's see if next week ramps it up a bit.

 

[The Illiterati]

Solid episode, I enjoyed the time jump. I hereby declare a moratorium on shots of Rebecca's dead body however.

 

[rocketskates]

Will be watching later, but without spoilers....how was it??

Everyone is at their lowest, so pretty dark.

This season didn't start at all the way I thought it would, but it's not a bad thing. Good first episode.

Yeah I didn't recognize Doakes until Carrie's session was almost over. XD

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Yeah I didn't recognize Doakes until Carrie's session was almost over. XD

Took me a minute too. I thought the voice sounded familiar and then...SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!

And I really, really hope there aren't any more overhead shots of the dead naked body going forward. Please, I can't take any more.

So...S.K speculation?

Spoiler

part of me thinks it might be Burton, his thirst for blood was further awakened after the fight with Nola? Seems too obvious though and hopefully it's not an already established character either. S.K tend to work better when we don't have any idea of their motivations or who they are/why they kill, they just do it.

 

[KonradLaw]

Somber, but great opening.
I loved how in response to the insanity of previous 3 seasons a damn small town like Banshee got huge police deparatament with indistructible windows But it seems obvious that Hood, despite small staff, actually had much tighter control over the city than Brock with all his resources did.

And was it me, or was that a Doll of Rebecca? Not actual actress in make up?

Nazi is awesome villain. Dat fantasy And "pureblooded americans are going hungry" when he's fricking killing native american by slowly crushing his head

And I was surprised when Hood spared Dalton...didn't last long though

Anyway, fascinting set up, changes awfully lot in the show's status quo, which for a final season is very unexpected, but excting.

 

[the_firewithin]

Oh new lady cop is bad.... Surprised hood didn't just take her the minute he saw her and get it over with

Saw the bunker reveal a mile away

 

[RS4-]

Hahah man, that opening. And for a sec, I thought Bunker was with Brock's ex-wife.

Premiere made me feel like I was missing an ep or some web series.
