Tis the (Mid)Season ...
14 January 2013 | by (Portland, OR) – See all my reviews

Banshee, the first of several new mid-season shows to premiere, tries to bring something unique to the already crowded crime drama genre. While the final vote is still out the pilot gives some hope of it's potential success. That is not to say that there aren't any issues. The biggest of which is the base premise of the show and your ability to accept it and enjoy the ride. OK so a guy fresh out of jail on the run from mobsters who want to kill him for some reason leaves the state (parole officers tend to look down on that) in search of his share of the loot from heist that sent him to jail and his women goes to Amish country and with help of circumstance and his Asian cross-dressing super computer geek hairdresser friend becomes the new sheriff … and breathe. If that hasn't scared you off yet you may be in for some fun .

As a premium cable show it does have it's requisite allotment of sex and violence. Quality of production sit it some where between HBO and Starz. The pilot does feature one of the more intense, stunt heavy car chases I've seen on a TV show. Which is a good sign of their willingness to spend on the production of the show.

With solid acting and writing Banshee makes a good lead off batter for the mid-season premieres. While it didn't knock it out of the park , it defiantly makes it on base. We'll just have to see if the rest of the season can bring the show home for the score.

Rating: Show: tentative 3.5 out of 5 stars - Episode: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars
