Banshee (TV Series) Homecoming (2014) User Reviews

Just how good are the action sequences?

[A_Different_Drummer · 10/10 · 4 March 2015]

I ask this question because well someone has to.

I have reviewed several individual episodes and noted that midway through S02 things were slowing down. Safe to say, this episode makes up for that.

In an earlier review I noted that, aside from the "Jason Statham" and other MMA types that wander through Banshee, part of the genius of this series is that, at any point in time, Hood has at least two major enemies to work against, Proctor and Rabbit.

This episode, as the other reviewers explain, belongs to the Rabbit arc even though R-Man gets little screen time.

But the real question is, for a TV series, how good are the fight scenes? We know they are fast, we know they explode out of nowhere, but are they really quality? Answer: Duh. Yeah. As good as big screen or better.

There is a shot here where Hood is fighting one of Rabbit's men in a hospital and the baddie misses with a karate style sidekick which almost breaks the door in half.

Little things like that keep the viewer interested.

This is a very cool show.

All the ducks are lined up, each player has been dealt their cards.

There is no question that there has been a great wave of tension building in our little town, from outside influences, and the battles raging within. This episode is far less about the art, and more about the message, less about the communities, and more about the true families. The lines have been clearly drawn, and we get in this episode a very tight story that does not waver, there is a solid buildup to the last pieces falling into place both back in Banshee, and on the front lines of New York. Starting off in true Banshee style with a perfect action packed twist of surprises, and shocks. Then alliances change, and are restored with true purpose. Those left at home will need to take care of the Cadi, and keep the town safe, still wishing they knew the secrets of the mighty Sheriff Hood; True heroes one and all, ready to stand for what they know is right. We are left prepared, and settled, with all demons put to rest, and you just know that the real action is still just ahead, because in Banshee you never have to wait for the Dragons to show up! (Nutshell version) Action, Pictures, and Polaroids hinting at Ukrainians meaning Rabbit is near, and stiff images of Kai meaning his swift vengeance, a broken family, Native symbols, a fractured man, and a girl who wants to be a powerful Woman, still the tumbler is turned, then Drama, Action, Drama, Drama, Sex, Drama, Drama, Action, Action, Action, Drama, (boom)BANSHEE

Best Episode in Weeks

[megaranks10 · 10/10 · 7 March 2014]

Banshee this season has been a loose cannon. It has been great and enjoyable, and yet it hasn't brought the bang that season 1 brought to its viewers. Season 1 Episode 8 was easily the best episode of the show, so when last weeks episode didn't match that, I was slightly disappointed. NOT THIS WEEK!

We start off with Job literally storming into Rabbit's Brothers church and almost succeeding in killing him, however his brother manages to spot him and after a fierce action sequence Job is hit by a speeding car.

The suspend disbelief moment- Job only gets a concussion from this

As this is going on, Burton does his thing and Rebecca betrays her Uncle. The scene between Proctor and his mom had incredible dialogue and we are starting to get a soft spot for Proctor. Never thought that I would say that for the best villain on T.V.

Carrie finally reveals to Gordan that Lucas is Deva's father. Long Overdue producers.

The hospital fight between Lucas, Carrie and Rabbit's men was arguably the best scene this season.

Overall this was a great episode and I look forward to the big final shootout next episode. The key question is, will we ever see the gigantic Indian again? One of the pictures in the opening countdown shows him standing in a pit with blood trailing down his body.
