I was bored and I switched the channel to Cinemax, needless to say this show was on and my jaw dropped! First of all, action is my least favorite genre because I found all main characters in action movies invincible with 100% shooting accuracy while performing acrobats, also limitless bullet in their guns, Banshee is NOT like that.
The main character, Lucas Hood sometimes miss his shot, got hit and whine about how painful it is (of course, it looked painful) but he can take a hit and very scrappy so he managed to win ever fight realistically. That doesn't mean every fight and action scene here is lame, it is awesome!!! The story, cast, acting, choreography, score, even camera particularly in season 3 are superb. The producer Alan Ball and writer Greg Yaitanes are my favorites on their fields (Alan is also a great writer of Six Feet Under) so if you're looking for action show that offers complete package, without a doubt Banshee is the answer!
