Review of Banshee

Banshee (2013–2016)
9/10
The ultimate male fantasy
17 December 2021
Although definitely not for everyone, the series is relatively unknown and in my view deserve to be much more popular. It's an ultimate male fantasy - an urban Americana fantasy town, where all women are hot nymphomaniacs and all men practise bare knuckle fights. Almost everyone is a morally questionable character, but there are also pure evil characters that still somehow follow their own version -- however incoherent -- of code of honour. The story has its share of twists, but you mostly watch it for the characters, fights and sometimes steamy sex scenes. It is an ultimate guilty pleasure and even though it's quite recent (first season aired in 2013), it is seemingly ages away from the politically correct / gender ambiguous / let's try not to offend anyone 2020s. Still, it's a lot of fun and surprisingly good in all aspects of the show: the story, the characters, the casting, the visuals.
