Banshee: Season 3

To put it bluntly, I was amazed! Note that I do have cable TV but that I do not subscribe to the titty channels, so that the relatively infrequent nudity and just-below X-rated sex was a delightful surprise, as were the frequent F-bombs that occurred exactly when expected (as they would in a more or less real-life situation, depending on your personal experiences). My partner was offended by the language (and the sex) so I had to watch this all alone but that didn't mean I enjoyed it any less.You can get the plot anywhere (Wiki is a good place to start) so I'll not go into that. What I will HIGHLY recommend is watching each season's BANSHEE ORIGINS set of clips so you can get a heads up on what you're about to see without having to figure it out piecemeal from the episodes themselves. Note that this is absolutely necessary at the beginning of season four, where a lapse of 18-months has occurred.The clips were scripted and shot separately from the episodes themselves, as explained by the producers on the commentary audio. I had originally thought that they were outtakes or sections that were cut for time purposes but that was not the case. THEY DO EXPLAIN A BUNCH OF STUFF!I can say that each season opens with a whole new set of problems and a bunch of characters whom the writers were not afraid of killing off just to torment the survivors and shock the audience.To save time and effort, this same review will be posted for seasons 2 through 4 (the last season of the series).

Perfect condition

No complaints with the show itself. This season features two brutally realistic fights and a number of interesting new characters. My only complaint is that in the Episode 1 Commentary there are spoilers of two different deaths of characters later in the season. There is even less reason to believe that people buying a series on DVD that comes from a premium cable show have seen the entire season on TV than shows from network TV. I usually like to watch everything on a disc at one time, while the episodes are still fresh in my mind, so foretelling future plot points and character deaths in an early commentary is extremely annoying. It's called drama people! Let the story develop! Since the season is only 10 episodes, the best way to watch it and the commentaries, is to watch all the episodes and then go back and watch the commentaries. Yes, I do like the commentaries, but a comprehensive commentary discussing the specifics of the entire season goes on the last episode of a season, not the first.

I have the first two seasons of this series so I was happy when season three was released.If you have not heard of this show and enjoy action and suspense programs this is the show for you.Synopsis : A man with mob ties is finally released from prison after spending years there for stealing diamonds along with his girlfriend, the mob leaders daughter but he get's caught, she doesn't.Fast forward after years of incarceration he's released and immediately sets out to find her and eventually does but there is a twist.He takes the identity of the towns new sheriff that no one has even seen or met who died an untimely death in a bar where the former convict was at and everything cascades from there as the lie gets him in deeper into trouble as he continues to try and hide his true identity.Shoot them up action with a dose of beautiful ladies Banshee delivers in spades.

I love this show. As I tell people all the time, this show has it all. SEX, love, kids, violence, over the top fight scenes, shooting, crooks, drugs, strip clubs, bad cops, good cops, bad mayors, drunks, back stabbers, are all common place in every episode, which means that there is something for everyone, in the Amish countryside. WHAT, Amish too, yep. Must be the most corrupt small town in all of America. BUT, makes for entertaining TV to the MAX. I would need to put this in my collection for desert island collections for limited entertainment. GET IT>

This is by far the best show most people have never seen or even hear of. If this show was on HBO instead of Cinemax, it would have received much more attention. The crazy characters, the over the top action, and humor make this a much watch. If you are looking for a fun, wild ride, and don't mind occasional nudity, this is the show for you.

I enjoy the series

Cinemax has produced a couple of great action series; Banshee and Strike Back. Fans of that genre will love Banshee. Featuring a unique concept and interesting characters, Jonathan Tropper has created a very entertaining series, well-written. It is gritty and violent, not everyone's cup of tea. Banshee is a must-see show if you liked Sons of Anarchy, 24, Breaking Bad or The Shield.

Season 3 of BANSHEE carries on in the excellent tradition of the first two seasons. Unlike other TV series, where sometimes one season will be less fulfilling (or to put it another way - sometimes, in some series, one season really sucks... Sopranos season 4 comes to mind), BANSHEE stays plot solid, performance driven, and dipped in excellence throughout all three seasons! Amazon's pricing makes the blu-ray truly worth its value too.

good

Leider viel zuwenig beachtet in D. War wohl auch nur auf Sky zusehen :-(. Zusammen mit den beiden Vorgängerstaffeln 1 und 2 eine absolute Kaufempfehlung. Hoffentlich gibt es mal eine Gesamtbox inkl. der aktuell ausgestrahlten 4.Staffel.Spitzenserienunterhaltung!

... sont toujours mes Amish dans cette nouvelle saison très aboutie.Oui Banshee se poursuit implacablement vers sa conclusion au travers de cette 3ème et avant dernière saison.Mais le feu d'artifices de violences et de passions est déjà commencé depuis longtemps.C'est Proctor le mafieux, Amish « défroqué » tout comme sa pulpeuse nièce Rebecca Bowman qui sont au centre des intrigues au début de cette saison. Et ils ont fort à faire avec leur conflit ouvert avec la tribu des Kinaho puis avec leurs « partenaires » dans le trafic de drogue. Il faut dire que les Kinaho ne pouvaient pas rester sans réaction après le meurtre d'Alex Longshadow leur jeune chef (par notre exquise Rebecca, désolée si vous ne saviez pas) en fin de saison 2.Il s'en est surtout suivi le retour en ville de Chayton Littlestone bien décidé à régler ses comptes et à reprendre la guerre contre les blancs. Mais ceci n'est qu'une faible partie des péripéties nombreuses qui émaillent ces 10 épisodes qui enregistrent la perte de nouveaux personnages importants.Certains ont pris dans ces épisodes plus de densité encore tels Carie alias Anastasia et Lucas Hood qui s'interroge : « Qui sommes-nous vraiment ? Pouvons-nous devenir quelqu'un de différent de qui nous sommes ? ».L'image, le son sont pour moi excellents de même que la réalisation, sauf qu'il y a plusieurs cas de montage alterné de scènes sans rapport l'une avec l'autre avec des plans très courts, choix qui pour moi ne s'imposait pas.Les violences et cruautés diverses et variées peuvent effrayer au premier abord.Toutefois je tempérerai cette réaction première par deux constats :- un bonus nous montre les scènes réellement tournées avec pas la moindre trace de sang ou blessure sur les acteurs, ce qui fait prendre conscience que tout le sang et les plaies qu'on peut voir ne sont même pas du maquillage réel mais sont ajoutés en post production (vaste travail '), oui c'est bien du « cinéma » ' ouf- les actualités ne manquent pas dans ces temps où nous vivons où sont évoqués (et parfois tus selon qui est la qualité des agresseurs et celle des victimes) des massacres de toutes sortes, des sévices, des exécutions et d'une certaine façon on nous habitue à ça pour nous ôter toute réaction et tout sentiment de révolte 'Alors n'est-ce pas de ces horreurs réelles qu'il faut avoir précisément horreur plutôt que de celles d'une fiction ?
