Banshee, Season 3: Episode 10 – “We All Pay Eventually”

Written by Jennifer Ames & Steve Turner

Directed by Loni Peristere

Returns to Cinemax in 2016 for a fourth season

In all of the craziness that is “We All Pay Eventually,” Banshee displays its growth over three gripping years by giving two supporting characters the chance to verbalize the heart of the episode, season and series thus far:

“I am guys like that…I will always be that man…I am doing everything I can to change. And every once in a while, I manage to convince myself that I’m a better person.”

And when Bunker gets so angry, Brock shows him what that really is:

“That isn’t anger that you’re feeling. That’s the shame and guilt…That is what makes you better than them. If you didn’t feel that, that’s when I’d start to worry.”

Recently, Showtime served up the new,official synopsis/spoilers for their upcoming "Banshee" episode 9 of season 3. The episode is entitled, "Even God Doesn't Know What to Make Of You," and it turns out that we're going to see some very intense and dramatic stuff take place when Proctor and Emily take a hit over Rebecca's scew-ups, and more! In the new, 9th episode press release: Lucas (Antony Starr) is going to recall the history of his friendship with Job (Hoon Lee), while pondering the future, if there indeed will be one. Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen) and Emily (Tanya Clarke) will pay the price for Rebecca's (Lili Simmons) recklessness. Carrie (Ivana Milicevic) and Gordon (Rus Blackwell) are going to pick up the pieces of their shattered relationship. Stowe (Langley Kirkwood) and Leo (Dennis Flanagan) will land a big fish. Bunker (Tom Pelphrey) will reconnect with his skinhead past. Deva (Ryann Shane) is...

Banshee, Season 3: Episode 7 – “You Can’t Hide from the Dead”

Written by Chris Kelley

Directed by Greg Yaitanes

Airs Friday nights at 10 on Cinemax

A Short Preface:

In these Banshee reviews, I generally try to approach the series from a more literary perspective. This writing staff, led by novelist/co-creator Jonathan Tropper, has a great sense of genre and how to highlight certain themes that can resonate well for viewers so far removed from the kind of life that Banshee presents its characters. But “You Can’t Hide from the Dead” demands me to take a step back. Though I have some experience with screenwriting, I have none whatsoever when it comes to other aspects of filmmaking. When I see something like Children of Men or Birdman or Boyhood, I mostly just sit back and say “Wooowww…” That said, I’ll have to do my best here with what...

Banshee, Season 3: Episode 2 – “Snakes and Whatnot”

Written by Halley Gross

Directed by Loni Peristere

Airs Friday nights at 10 on Cinemax

If last week’s season three premiere suggested the importance of legacy in Banshee, “Snakes and Whatnot” is the companion piece that shows how one’s legacy can be controlled by perception. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and several characters here–Rebecca, Chayton and Nola chief among them–want to make sure that they’re both taken seriously and come out on top.

Nola’s naturally callous demeanor, while one of her most entertaining qualities from a viewer’s perspective, made it hard to gauge how much she cared about her brother Alex. She was there offering curt advice when he was slipping up, but her return to Banshee shows how deep sibling love goes and how it’s easy to be taken for granted.

The 100: E4, 9pm

Bellamy continues to search for Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) in the forest, while flashbacks reveal the history of their difficult childhood.

Elsewhere, Raven (Lindsey Morgan) starts to realise that Finn (Thomas McDonell) and Clarke (Eliza Taylor) share a deep connection.

True Blood: Fox, 9pm

The final season continues, as Sookie (Anna Paquin) makes a shocking discovery and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) and Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) form an unlikely alliance to find Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp).

Supernatural drama, also starring Stephen Moyer, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell, Chris Bauer and Nelsan Ellis.

Unforgettable: Sky Living, 10pm

Residents of the Hamptons refuse to reveal what happened on the night a local woman was killed and left on a beach, hindering Carrie (Poppy Montgomery) and Al's (Dylan Walsh) investigation. This leads Carrie to suspect the community of being riddled with secrets.

Guest starring Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, 3rd...

Showrunner Greg Yaitanes has elevated the Cinemax series Banshee to an entirely new level of awesome by turning it into an action ensemble for the ages. Season two introduced new characters, killed old ones and whipped its legion of fans (aka Fanshees) into a frenzy with a great, weekly social media promotion spearheaded by its cast. The second season kicks off directly after the bloodbath that left villainous Rabbit on the run and the small town of Banshee riddled with bullets. An investigator comes to town to interview everyone who was involved in the mess and we as viewers begin to see real consequences of the actions these people took last season. Carrie (Ivana Miličević) heads to prison for her vigilante rescue efforts while her husband Gordon (Rus Blackwell) descends into a drunken...

Banshee, Season 2: Episode 10 – “Bullets and Tears”

Written by Jonathan Tropper

Directed by Greg Yaitanes

Renewed for a third season to premiere in 2015

In last week’s review, I talked a little bit about how the decision to keep Rabbit around for another season might have been an understandable misstep for the freshman series, Banshee. “Bullets and Tears” makes the best case possible for why Rabbit’s presence this season has at least been important in helping develop the relationship between the man known as Lucas Hood (or Tom Palmer, as he would have been known in another life) and Anastasia. And even though I would have liked to have seen more Proctor or Chayton in the main antagonist roles this season (more on that below), “Bullets and Tears” is about as perfect of an ending to the Rabbit years of Banshee as you could get.

Part of that comes...

Banshee, Season 2: Episode 7 – “Ways to Bury a Man”

Written by Doug Jung

Directed by Loni Peristere

Airs Friday nights at 10 on Cinemax

With so many different directions to go and so few episodes left in its second season, Banshee surprises in “Ways to Bury a Man” by sticking to a plot it could have easily moved on from and by bringing back an essential dynamic of the series to the forefront. That plot and dynamic center around Jason Hood and Kai Proctor, respectively. In last week’s episode, Burton killed Jason and cleaned up the murder scene to give off the impression that the kid skipped town without saying goodbye to Hood. You’d be justified in wondering how Burton and Proctor would have missed something like that huge bag of cash in the bathroom, but for narrative purposes, it’s essential to tipping off Hood that there’s foul play involved.

Banshee, Season 2: Episode 6 – “Armies of One”

Written by John Romano

Directed by Babak Najafi

Airs Friday nights at 10 on Cinemax

“I don’t know if anyone ever changes, really. But we can evolve, right? I mean, that’s what we’re trying to do, isn’t it, just become better versions of ourselves?”

Babak Najafi and John Romano absolutely killed it in last week’s episode of Banshee, which is easily - easily – in the running for best television episode of the year. The director-writer pair returns this week in “Armies of One” and delivers something just as powerful and engaging, but in an entirely different way. If “The Truth About Unicorns” felt a lot like a Sofia Coppola film, “Armies of One” finds a home next to the works of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Amores perros and 21 Grams). Its narrative is much more disjointed than the average Banshee entry,...

New Banshee season 2,episode 6 official spoilers,plotline revealed by Cinemax. Recently, Cinemax served up the new,official synopsis/spoilers for their upcoming "Banshee" episode 6 of season 2. The episode is entitled, "Armies Of One," and like things will get pretty dramatic and interesting as Carrie,Gordon,and Deva's lives start to get unstable, and more. In the new,6th episode press release: When Jason’s (Harrison Thomas) past catches up to him, Lucas will decide to make a deal to save the boy’s life, and maybe his own. In the absence of Carrie, Gordon (Rus Blackwell) ,and Deva’s (Ryann Shane) lives are going to spin out of control. Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen) will teach Rebecca (Lili Simmons) a hard lesson in allegiance. Episode 6 is due to air on Friday night, February 14th at 10pm on Cinemax.

Opening remarks

It’s not even February and, already, 2014 is shaping up to be a massive year for television. True Detective announced itself as the year’s first new stand-out series. Against all odds, Dan Harmon and Community returned and are putting together a respectable comeback season. FX’s fantastic and hard-working Justified continues to solidify its place among the greats of the past decade. And Girls‘ unique blend of comedy and drama is once again pushing the narrative boundaries of the half-hour series in its third season.

One series, though, is leading the charge at the beginning of the year. The most unlikely of heroes, Cinemax’s Banshee, in just a matter of three weeks, has matured into something truly special – something a lot of TV writers refer to as “appointment viewing” when describing other series. With limited experience dabbling in co-produced original programming, Cinemax released Banshee – its first...

Anthony DeBlasi's new film Cassadaga (review) is available now on DVD, and in case you need some added incentive to see it, how about digging on a brand new making-of featurette that goes behind the scenes?

The film stars Kevin Alejandro, Kelen Coleman, Louise Fletcher, Rus Blackwell, Hank Stone, J Larose, and Amy LoCicero.

Synopsis

Cassadaga tells the story of Lily Morel (Kelen Coleman), a post-lingually deaf artist, who participates in a séance in the spiritualist community of Cassadaga. But instead of getting closure with her recently departed sister, Lily contacts the vengeful ghost of a murdered woman. As the ghost becomes increasingly angry and violent, Lily rushes to unravel the mysterious circumstances surrounding the woman’s death – a task that will bring her face-to-face with a sadistic serial killer who turns his victims into human marionette dolls.

If you happened to tune into the first season of Alan Ball’s latest sex-filled drama, Banshee, on Cinemax then you probably fell in love with the crazy world that’s been built over those first ten episodes. It’s the kind of series that’s filled with smartness and the kind of characters you love to hate and hate to love, and it’s all padded with sex scenes that, at times, seem so gratuitous that you have to double check you didn’t accidentally wind up on the Playboy Channel. But it’s all Banshee and it’s all good. Which is why it’s so exciting to know when this drama is returning!

According to Deadline, Banshee’s ten-episode second season will drop on Friday, January 10. The series stars Antony Starr as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee,...

Banshee revolves around an ex-con (Antony Starr) who assumes the identity of the incoming sheriff of Banshee, Pennsylvania. He struggles with his new identity while dealing with a local crime lord (Ulrich Thomsen) and trying to stay under the radar of a Ukrainian mobster (Ben Cross) that's searching for his real identity.

Others in the cast include Ivana Miličević, Frankie Faison, Rus Blackwell, Gordon Hopewell, Ryann Shane, and Anthony Ruivivar.

Banshee delivers a bloody penultimate episode. Here's James' review of Always The Cowboy...

This review contains spoilers.

1.9 Always The Cowboy

If there was one thing that really struck you about the opening scene of Banshee’s ninth episode, it was the blood. Picking up minutes after We Shall Live Forever concluded, Ana lays beaten to a pulp in the back of her car while a strung out Sheriff Lucas Hood tries to get her to the hospital. It’s not Ana’s delirious daydreams or Hood’s pleading with her to hang in there that sticks out though, but the blood. Having gone through eight hours with Banshee, we’re no strangers to the red stuff by now but here it seems different, harsher in the broad daylight, and then sterile surrounding of the hospital. Blood plays a big part in Always The Cowboy,...

Acclaimed writer, director and producer Alan Ball (True Blood, Six Feet Under, American Beauty) brings his brand new action drama series, Banshee to the UK on Monday 29th April. Banshee stars Antony Starr (Rush) as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee, Philadelphia, where he continues his criminal activities, even as he’s hunted by the shadowy gangsters he betrayed years earlier.

Going hell for leather, this series opener follows Lucas as he makes his way to Banshee to find his former partner-in-crime and lover (Ivana Milicevic, Casino Royale). The good news is that they are indeed reunited. However, the bad is that his ex has since changed her name to Carrie and created a new life for herself complete with defence attorney hubby (Rus Blackwell, Battle Los Angeles) and two kids. Shovelling salt into the wound, Carrie is also no...
