#BANSHEE TV REVIEW SERIES#
main characters storyline, and the introduction of the series best villain: Native American supremacist Chayton Littlestone, leader of a reservation gang called the Redbones. The Second Season…To me, this one is just a little bit better than the first season, and that’s due largely to a satisfying conclusion to the Rabbit (the Ukranian crime kingpin whose hatred of his daughter and her boyfriend’s betrayal powers the first two seasons) vs. People who praise “Daredevil” for their fight scenes have clearly never watched an hour of “Banshee.” The lone sore spot of the season: Lucas Hood doesn’t really make sense yet and is pretty much just there to power the plot while the more interesting supporting cast is busy.
I instantly fell for the great cast of characters (where else can you find a banished-Amish crime Lord and a sexually ambiguous Chinese hacker and a Ukranian crime princess hiding in suburbia all in the same episode?) and riveting fight sequences, the best on Television. The First Season…Perfectly sets up the insane world and far-fetched premise without ever becoming laughable.

The final season would probably be better as a two-hour movie minus extraneous subplots, but I’m still grateful for the time spent.
#BANSHEE TV REVIEW SERIAL#
There’s a hogwash subplot about a satanic serial killing-cult-whereas most of Banshee’s villains are more criminal-and the season’s other main villains, a white supremacist brotherhood, are never as well-developed as past season’s villains, but it’s still nice to take one last trip with the “Banshee” crew. “the worst”…Sure, it’s the worst season, but it’s also the shortest (only eight episodes) and exists mostly to give closure to all the characters we’ve grown to love. It’s seriously worthy of your time, and I hope you’ll think about it… I’m not kidding, even the “worst” season of Banshee is still only a B- while the rest of the series is firmly in the A-range. I want to be clear about two seemingly contradictory things: the final season of Banshee was the worst of the series, but you should still watch it. Cinemax’s “Banshee” was one of the most consistently underrated shows on television, and in fact many readers of this article may not have even heard of the series, let alone watched it. What a freaking team in Hitch and Sinclair.It was the end of times, and-as is so often the case with TV finales–it was the worst of times.
Alex Sinclair’s colors are perfectly balanced between appropriately muted and explosively vibrant. Batman explodes from the page while Alfred’s exhaustion and Gordon’s grim determination really shine through. The word “stunning” doesn’t even capture how magnificent the art is. If you took all of the words out of The Batman’s Grave you’d be left with Bryan Hitch’s stunning artwork. Seeing Alfred talking about what a toll this is taking on him presents a very human look at what it would be like to be the Dark Knight’s faithful companion. The interplay between Batman, Commissioner Gordon and Alfred is absolutely brilliant. And that’s what makes this such a great tale: This is Batman being a detective, and Ellis has him doing it with gusto. In this issue fans see a different side of Bruce and Alfred as they work together to solve the mystery at hand. Warren Ellis continues his boundary-shattering story with The Batman’s Grave #2.
