A recently paroled master thief assumes the identity of Sheriff Lucas Hood in Banshee, Pa., where his former lover and partner in crime relocated years ago and reinvented herself as Carrie Hopewell, the wife of the town's prosecutor. As Lucas attempts to reunite with Carrie and keep his past a secret, he resumes his life of crime, even as he's hunted by the shadowy gangsters he betrayed years earlier, including a mob boss who seeks revenge against Lucas and Carrie for the jewel heist that landed Lucas in prison.

Sarah Hughes Independent (UK) 03/12/2020
This is pulp television at its best, a fast, furious blast of over-the-top plotlines, scenery-chewing villains and tightly shot action scenes. Go to Full Review

Despite all of its chaos, there's something more to Banshee than being mindless and random violence. Go to Full Review

As a whole, Banshee's second season marks an impressive step forward for the series. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 05/22/2016
.. a heist or robbery in most every episode, dynamic and gritty action scenes with visceral and at times gruesome violence, and plenty of nudity and sex: all those exploitation elements that the movies have ceded to pay cable TV. Go to Full Review

Kim B @RT86564524 Apr 26 Absolutely love Anthony Starr, but this series is a cheesy mess. See more George W @georgeblaise Mar 7 Very much enjoying Banshee but there's too much sex. A scene should either reveal character or advance the plot and characters screwing two or three times an episode does neither. I can only think the sex scenes are meant to take up time and nothing more. See more Uncle R. @MasterExploder Sep 22 Just brilliant. Antony Starr is a very underrated actor, an amazing show! See more Kat W @RT66978285 06/07/2025 Solid pulp, like season 1. See more Chris B @RT28138699 03/24/2025 Season 2 is great also. Story takes a step or two back from season one but acting makes up for it See more Lane M @RT31121284 02/27/2025 Love this series, keeps getting better... See more Read all reviews
