Banshee - Sky Atlantic

[Watchman]

5th ep was a bit of style over substance I'm afraid.

[Watchman]

I'm up to s02e08 and I can't help feel they are stretching ideas a bit thin this series. I still like the general violence of it but the story has taken a back seat.

[goldblum]

There never was a story, really. Each episode is a self-contained vignette of sex and violence. Well, the better ones are.

[richtea78]

It's been renewed for a 3rd season so must be doing ok!

Still not seen a UK date though

[Watchman]

Ep09 has woken them up a bit. Julian Sands is back. I often wonder why he doesn't feature in more TV. Next week's ep is going to be a great one.

So that's not a spoiler how?

Don't be hard on the guy - he's only told us 99% of the plot.

[richtea78]

Yeah, it's not exactly a huge plot and now the whole thing is ruined!

I'll just have to watch it for the excessive violence and gratuitous sex I guess

[Corso Marche]

S2 seemed to have some filler around episodes 4 and 5, and I thought the directorial style changed a little for a few episodes (not for the better).

But it's all back on form. It has most definitely found its mojo again. Ep8 and Ep9 are a return to form, and has left me expecting a lot from the coming final episode of S2.

Trouble is, S3 isn't scheduled to air until Jan 2015.

[goldblum]

S02E09 very good. Big fight next week, and Proctor's 'niece' is due to get her kit off again soon.

[Johnny]

Yep, it's certainly back on form in Ep 8/9, especially after the oddness that was Ep 5...

Looking forward to the next instalment.

Just started watching this and can't help but see Harry Enfield when Antony Starr appears as the lead character.



Keep hearing: "You fun with my wife," every time he appears.

Not watched it but the original movie with Vincent Price and a young Patrick Mower was very well done.

[richtea78]

First episode of Season 2 is now available on Demand ahead of a Premier next Monday at 10.10

[richtea78]

I've just watched Warrior. That Indian guy was massive!

Also, is there anyone in town who Hood isn't going to shag, I still think he might have a go with Job!

[irocfan]

just about to watch S2E3 and still enjoying this series a lot - is it just me or is the whole niece/Kai Proctor thing seeming a little 'off' (though the masturbation scene last week was quite wow!)

[Jonesy23]

Just a quick reminder that Series 3 has now started in the US.

[davey68]

Still waiting for a date when it's coming to the UK!

[Johnny]

Yep, waiting... And hoping they stick Season 2 back on demand...

I'd say don't spoil it but it's hard to spoil boobs blood and gore!

It's not coming over till the summer Sky said
