Banshee - Sky Atlantic

[Ciaran]

Love this, glad its getting a second series.

[PeXy]

Love this!!! The episode with the cage fighter is great!!!!

[Johnny]

Another great episode tonight.

But by god it's fking brutal! Love it.

[Elroy Blue]

Saw this for the first time last night. Very good. I'll have to keep an eye out for a series re-run

[dirty boy]

It's basically porn at the moment isn't it? Not a bad thing I suppose...

The scene with the shower head?!?!?!? WTF!

Anyway...

Brutal.

[V8covin]

Anyone know where I can get episode 2 ?
All the other episodes have recorded except this one
Tried SkyGo but it doesn't work

[richtea78]

It's nonsense but I love it.

[Johnny]

Another good episode last night.

I like the pacing of the overall story, seems just right to me. Decent characters that are being developed nicely. I even like Proctor

[richtea78]

I thought last nights was a bit slow.

[goldblum]

Just finished series 1. Complete rubbish but an unexpected guilty pleasure.

[The Highway Man]

Mrs THM absolutely loves Job.

[General Price]

It's a bit rough.

Watched the 1st 7 episodes in 2 days,quality viewing and quality eye candy.

[irocfan]

just watched the season end last night - again some of it quite brutal (the garotte scene in particular had a very, IMO, wince-worthy moment!)

[kingstondc5]

what i dont get, is that hes meant to be hard as nails (ie fight with albino and the mma champ) yet coudnt take out the local villian.

though its nice that most of the female cast get naked but not sure about the incestuous suggestion at the end

Ok - I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought that that was what it looked like (and in a couple of earlier scenes/episodes)

[kingstondc5]

yeah i did think he was tempted to 'rape' her after the shower as a show of power but did find it quite odd, unless of course theyre trying to portray him as a 'monster'.

Though he did look a bit small town crook compared to the Ruskies though

[clarkmagpie]

Just finished watching it.
Sum up everyone else opinions, really enjoyed it, a bit daft, pretty brutal and some sexy naked ladies.
Very easy to watch and you don't have to think to much.
Looking forward to season 2.

Decent summary. Just finished it last night.

The word that my wife and I used a lot in conjunction with is was 'gratuitous'. Still a lot of fun, some good characters and some nicely times comedy one-liners.

Isn't the implication from the scene with Kai training that he's not just a petty thug? It's nice that we have the whole range of bad guys to root for in this!

He was using a Wing Chun dummy and his technique was spot on, so he'll be handy in a fight.

God knows how he'll get around the guy being found in the woods....will wait for S2 to find out I suppose.
