Living in Banshee under an assumed name, Carrie Hopewell (Ivana Milicevic) is now married to the local DA, has two children (one of whom may be Lucas’), and is trying desperately to keep a low profile – until Lucas arrives to shake up her world and rekindle old passions. Complicating matters is the fact that Banshee is riddled by corruption, with an Amish overlord, Kai Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen), brutally building a local empire of drugs, gambling and graft. With the help of a boxer-turned-barkeeper named Sugar Bates (Frankie Faison), Lucas is able to stay on even footing with Kai and his thugs, and even manages to bring a measure of tough justice to Banshee. But eventually, Lucas’ appetite for pulling heists pulls him and Carrie into a dangerous cauldron of duplicity, exacerbated when Mr. Rabbit (Ben Cross), the NY mobster they once ripped off, closes in with vengeance on his mind. Review: Crazy (in a good way) - I tuned into "Banshee," not sure what to expect. I had really only seen a few commercials for it here and there. What I found was a TV show with an intriguing premise, solid acting, and some of the most brilliantly choreographed fight scenes I've ever witnessed. Make no mistake, if you don't like violence (or sex), you won't like this show. The basic premise (an ex-con assumes the identity of a freshly-dead sheriff) sounds on the surface a bit absurd and tough to expand on. "Banshee" takes that premise and runs with it, escorting you to a world that's fresh, exciting, and brutal. It's not just a small town, it's a small town in Amish country with a "crime lord" (but not the kind you're used to) and an illegal drug ring, among other things. "Banshee" never bores, never stalls, and never falters. The characters are unforgettable and unique. One of the highlights of the series is the female lead (Carrie Hopewell, played by Ivana Milicevic), who is NOT your stereotypical weak-willed woman in danger. Even in a scene where she should be considered a "damsel in distress" and is presumably rescued by an officer of the law, we see glimpses of the resourceful & powerful woman she really is. In a later episode, she engages in a brutal fight that - including other scenes cut in to break the tension - spans nearly 2/3 of the episode. I mentioned it before, but I can't emphasize it enough: the fight choreography in this series is incredible. It's taken to a level that should come across as fake and over-the-top, but it never does. Perhaps that's due in part to the actors' dedication to the scenes. You see no restraint, fear, or apprehension. Even as the season ends on a fevered pitch, you never get the feeling that the show is running out of steam, and there is certainly no doubt that our characters' stories could carry through into a second season with ease. SUMMARY: If you love engaging stories, memorable characters, stunning fight sequences, and a unique setting, "Banshee" is right up your alley! Review: A bloody good time - I bought Banshee, sight unseen, based solely off a recommendation of a friend whose taste I trust. After having finished the season, I'm glad to say I now know for sure said friend has excellent taste. Banshee is a fast, fun, adult show that doesn't pull any of its many, many punches. The fights are bonebreakingly, blood gushingly brutal. The sex scenes are steamy, sticky, and frequent. The characters are layered, dynamic, and always fun. Banshee is a very high quality show. The story follows an unnamed protagonist who after being released from prison, tracks down his old partner to the town of Banshee, and because of a ill fated bar fight, finds himself impersonating the soon to be sheriff of the small town. The characters are varied and interesting, and rarely come off as cliched. Because this is a Cinemax show, as previously stated, violence, cursing, sex, and brutality abound. But, and this is important, none of these things, in my opinion, are as gratuitous as many would have you believe. When people fight, they bleed. We have become used to the overly stylized form of violence that has overtaken our entertainment. People have knock down, drag out fights, yet walk away with nothing more than ruffled hair and a cut lip. In Banshee, the consequences of combat are far more realistic. What it comes down to, if you're looking for a fast moving, action packed, well written show, and aren't offended by sex and violence, you aren't going to do better than Banshee. An excellent show and a definite buy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BWDFP5E | | Actors | Antony Starr, Frankie R.

The performances are outstanding and the story line keeps your interest. The only episode I didn't care much for was the one with the biker gang. The story line was too fake in that episode and I only sat through it to make sure I didn't miss any of the character development. The series is shot in a non-Hollywood type way. Due to this, the series is even more interesting. Did the mention the acting is outstanding! Starr, Faison, Thomsen, Lee, Cross, and Milicevic create characters that are interesting to watch. One of the best scenes of the series is between Starr and Milicevic where they confront each other after a betrayal by Milicevic's character. The scene has very little dialogue but shows what talented actors can accomplish by reactions alone. I am a little worried about the series continuing due to lack of publicity. Most viewers and fans come from word of mouth. Hollywood is built on promotion and most of the actors are not typical as far as remaining in the public eye. I have a lot of respect for that but want to see the series continue on its merits and that means playing the Hollywood promotion game. I have always believed that Hollywood treats us like we are brain dead. The garbage Hollywood produces keeps me from watching their crap! For a well written and acted series- this is it. Check it out and tell others. One note: if you are offended by sexuality and violence, this is probably not the show for you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10357585-banshee-season-1-cinemax](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10357585-banshee-season-1-cinemax) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
