Banshee plot

Banshee is about a former convicted master thief who poses as Lucas Hood, the new sheriff of Banshee, Pennsylvania, a small town with a large Amish population.

In both roles, he has to deal with a series of enemies, including the gangsters he betrayed years ago.

Banshee season 1

Addictive!

That I have seen this season in one day is not very surprising in itself, since as a 30-year-old single man I fall perfectly into the target group, but when you consider that this series is already a few years old, it is striking that I just now got around to it.

Also not very surprising when you consider that there are now 38 episodes and the barrier for entry is therefore slightly higher than with most current series. Nevertheless, I jumped in at the deep end under the motto of "a lot of sex" and "a lot of action". Not a word was lied about that.

The sex and action is not necessarily what makes the series so addictive, because apart from many intriguing storylines (yes, it remains an action series of course), it is mainly the lack of real drama that steals the show here; there is a situation, often illogical, and instead of explaining things we just go bang without asking too many questions.

Of course a little here and there, but the entertainment and action are paramount. Characters are sometimes a bit flat and motives are sometimes a bit crooked, but that shouldn't spoil the fun.

The only reason this first season doesn't score higher than four stars is that it doesn't really go any further, be it suspense, story-wise, or visually.

4*
