HBO / MAX Banshee (on Cinemax)

[Mr Baytchos]

Well, I actually enjoyed the finale. 4th season was a bit different and maybe not as good as previous 3 but still enjoyable.

I remember catching it at the beginning, and I think it was one of the first episodes where Hood and Deputy Yawners walk into a white supremacist area and start getting dirty looks, then Hood says loudly, "It's okay guys, he's married to a white woman".

I was thinking this was going to be a fun ride, I'm buckling up for it. For the most part did not disappoint. Like the fight scenes in the prison flashback... I'm am amazed for all the hits "Hood" took to the face he never once lost tooth.

I don't know if anyones actually heard of this show, but I just decided to start it randomly, and without any outside coercion! Just got thru episode 1. I like the premise. On to 2.

 

[Mook]

Just wait. Just. You. Wait.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Fuck yes, watched it when it first aired. It's a wild ride.

 

[IDAFC21]

First 4 episodes watched. How the fuck does this guy get to do whatever he wants with no consequences?? guess its good to be the sheriff.

 

[IDAFC21]

Oh, and the Amish broad,

This is truth. Got DAYUM.

I watched the first episode last night, i wasn't quite feeling it with how far fetched and bizarre the story line was. I'll watch a couple more.

 

[IDAFC21]

a lot of it is very far fetched so far but I'm rolling with it.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Roll with it, in it, through it, over it, whatever it takes. Just keep watching.

 

[IDAFC21]

Jesus... "The Albino"

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Jesus... "The Albino"

Does that mean you watched the prison fight between "Hood" and him?

 

[IDAFC21]

YUP. the red eyes were a bit much That's not how it works with people. but it did fit the over the top-ness of this show, so I'll allow it.

 

[IDAFC21]

Also the camera work in this show both infuriates and amuses me. Sometimes they do some really creative shots that flow with the action, and other times the shaky cam is just WAY too much.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

That was a brutal fight scene. There's another good one when he fights an MMA fighter, who did some nasty shit to deserve it. There are parts of that episode that are hard to watch.

 

[IDAFC21]

Yeah I watched that one last night. That was quite fucked up as well. Not only that fight scene, but what the MMA fighter did to deserve his ass beating.....

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I'm still amazed that no matter how many fights he gets in, he never loses a tooth.

Another good one is when Deputy Siobhan (Trieste Kelly Dunn, mmmmmmm) gives a beat down to her ex in a hotel room. She was a damn fine piece of scenery to look at.

 

[IDAFC21]

ep 5-7 watched tonight. Think that'll do. Might try and finish up season 1 tomorrow night.

 

[IDAFC21]

Christ almighty.... That fight between Carrie and Olek......... ?

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

 

[IDAFC21]

Im starting to think the writers of this show just sat around a table for each episode and said "alright, whose tits are we gonna flash this episode, and what scenario can we think up to get character A and character B to beat the ever loving shit out of each other? Ok thats a wrap!"

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I’m not seeing a problem with this. There’s some damn good looking women on the show. Oh, good fights too, can’t forget them.

 

[IDAFC21]

I'm not saying there's a problem with it either. I'm just saying I'm seeing a pattern

 

[IDAFC21]

And thats season 1 down. Things are nicely set up for season 2, which I will start tomorrow night.

 

[IDAFC21]

Another good one is when Deputy Siobhan (Trieste Kelly Dunn, mmmmmmm) gives a beat down to her ex in a hotel room. She was a damn fine piece of scenery to look at.

Just watched this one. That, synced up with the prison beatdown, was a real girl power moment
