Banshee TV Series ( 2013 )

When i started to watch Banshee for the first time , i not even had a single clue what i am about to witness for next series of episodes but i must say that this is one of finest ever Action packed fully entertaining TV Series i seen in recent times. This is one hell of a F*****g series with full of energy at every episode and it will just not let you down in any episode for sure. Though i dont want to pull down much spoiler by telling more of a plot , but in simple terms this is about life of a Ex-con ( Antony Starr ) released in parole after 15 years of jail term decides to move to a Amish town Banshee, Pennsylvania in search of his past love Carrie Hopewell ( Ivana Milicevic ) but in some unexpected events he had to take up identity of a Murdered Sherif Lucas Hood ( Antony Starr ) who just came to banshee town to take up his new assignment . From then on the story fiercely moves towards Lucas life as a sheriff , how he manages to fake his identity and lives up to expectation of people in town of banshee in disguise , also his attempt to get back to his love Carrie who is already married to a Counselor in DA office and his resistance against bad people in his own style for sake of banshee people. No TV series is complete without a perfect antagonist and in that way this series has got one hell of a stylish Amish gangster Kai Proctor , believe me you would like this person at times a lot then Lucas hood for being fearless , dreaded ,daring at same time he do have moral values too but never downs to anyone. But his presence throughout the season and his way of getting with Sheriff Lucas and other people who stand against him like Alex Longshadow chief of rez tribe is just mind-blowing. Not just one or two , there are so many kickass goosebumps scenes thought the season and you will never run out of these chilling moments and its very catchy everytime you see it.. Be it wrist fights , gun fights , powerful dialogue delivery , this series has it all . Even that said ,Lucas wood is no less then Kai protector as he is fearless too in-every sense of it and he always have his unique way of handling any situation comes in his way which inturn would keep us to the edge of our seat , just one specific scene to mention when he faces that boxing champ face to face to arrest him is no less of a goosebump moment. Also the way how director choose to narrate Lucas past life in Jail , his survival through his term was intense , gripping and prevents any dull boredom moment to the viewers and certainly a top notch screenplay.

Along with that , there are many other people around this series who also delivered their performance to perfection like Sugar and Job a computer hacker who are close allies with Hood and also Clay Burton a very loyal right hand men for kai protector who's also very dangerous person a daring type. That said Carrie's father Mr.Rabbit a dreaded well known gangster along with band of his brothers were also important characters show up in it. Right from pilot episode this series will start capturing your complete attention towards it and for same reason i can say this is a very addictive TV Series in recent times for sure. Not just action , be it friendship , romance , sacrifice , family , love you have everything down here in this and sure will keep you engaged. This series is for any series likers and one which never should be missed for any reason . Now its running at Season 02 Ep 05 and its far to catchup. Imagine a Most wanted Con in a Cop dress and thats what you are going to witness here. And it just doesnt end there , even the BGM is mind-blowing and that title credit video is just stunning and impressive. This series is fun overall and a treat for TV Series fans like me. Dont miss it.
