Don't read this unless you've watched the episode already, you have been warned.
As we cross half of the last season out of the way, we're finally revealed the identity of the serial killer (or should I say killers). We spend some parts of this episode with a description of the way they act, all the ritual, from the kidnapping to the killing, as it seems they're doing it for someone or some kind of identity, it remains to be seen, they just seem to have no idea on where to lead this story, I just hope someone more relevant is behind this couple of loonies, because it just seems lame.
Eliza Dushku's crack addiction adds nothing to the show, as the writers just seem to not know how to make a troubled character without giving them something completely over the top, I get it, it's Banshee, but you don't have to make every single one of your characters crazy (that's where I applaud guys like Brock, Sugar, Emmett, Siobhan, Nola and Bunker).
Anyway, she crosses Hood out of her list of suspects and he might have a chance to get the killers with her assistance or on his own.
As far as it goes with the Nazis and Proctor's storyline, Carrie keeps giving the Aryan nation and the Amish a hard time, with a small assistance from a still suffering from PTSD Job, Carrie burns Proctor's drug warehouse, not before telling Bunker that his brother and the Nazis are all working with Proctor, Carrie and Proctor, two of our main characters are been giving the wrestling treatment called "creative has nothing for you".
Moving to Calvin Bunker, he seems determined to take down Watts and Proctor, but a surprising early release could put all his plans to jeopardy, again, not very interested on anything the Nazis have been doing this season.
That was probably the worst episode of the season, the second worst of the series (The Rave was just the worse), but a bad episode of Banshee is still better than most shows on TV.
Let's just hope the writers still know what they're doing and are not smoking what Dushku's character is smoking.
(This section of my review was REALLY hard to choose as the episode wasn't very good, maybe with a few remarkable moments).
MVP's:
Antony Starr (Lucas Hood).
Matt Servitto (Brock Lotus).
Hoon Lee (Job).
Honorable Mentions:
Chris Coy (Calvin Bunker).
Ivana Milicevic (Carrie Hopewell).
Ulrich Thomsen (Kai Proctor).
Eliza Dushku (Special Agent Veronica Dawson).
Chance Kelly (Randall Watts).
