I saw this for the first time a few months back, loved every minute of it. Wish I knew more shows like it.

Brilliant show. Quite out there on its own I guess it terms of what else is similar. Presumed you have watched Sons of anarchy? Which has plenty of drama and grit

Good shout, I'll give that a watch.

Yeah did sons of anarchy ages ago thanks, after banshee I watched Strike back, which is a bit of an odd one.

Season 1 is excellent.
Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5 are entertaining, has some great moments and good cameos but is more action based and not quite to the same standard.
Season 6,7,8 have a new cast, lower budget and is still semi entertaining, but it's not good, still worth a watch though.

I'm re-watching Banshee again for about the 5th time now its on Sky again

'Meet the New Boss' never gets old!

Just finished the last few seasons of Strike Back. They were fine, not as good as previous seasons. Novin was far too annoying!

So now I think I'm going to rewatch Banshee. I loved it the first time around.

Rewatching bosch slowly then will prob swing back to banshee again while I was for season 2 of the boys!

Yeah shame on strike back, the first reboot was a lot of fun

For more Antony Starr (Hood) check out The Boys, another absolutely phenomenal show.

In terms of raw violence, the only show to remotely come close has been Gangs Of London.

Seen the boys twice, I loved it, that's what led me to banshee actually.

Gangs was excellent aswell.

Need more shows to that standard.

Worth watching Warrior also.
That was by the people behind Banshee and a very similar style.

I'm 3 episodes into Warrior. Loving it. Banshee is one of my all time favourite shows.

llamadal · 24 Jun 2020 at 23:04

Awesome, thanks for that suggestion, will check it out

ThePainBarrier · 25 Jun 2020 at 12:23

Into The Badlands is also worth a watch. Not on the same level as Banshee but the fight choreography is right up there.
The Widow is easily the best character in the show. Some of her fight scenes are insane.

V_R · 25 Jun 2020 at 14:35

Yeah Badlands is another cracker.

I thought the guy from the boys was familier, think I watched the full series before it clicked that he was from Banshee.
