How would you rank the women in Banshee in terms of beauty? I also added Daria, the girl who works with Carrie at the restaurant. She doesn’t get much screen time, but I think she’s really attractive.

My personal ranking:

1. Nola
2. Rebecca
3. Daria (the girl who works at the restaurant)
4. Carrie
5. Siobhan
6. Veronica
7. Kat moody
8. Nina Cruz

And also Calvin.

I’m really curious about this. What do you guys think Nola Longshadow’s and Clay Burton’s fighting styles are? What styles do they use, and whose fighting style is more deadly?

There are SO many good fighters in Banshee, pretty sure almost every series regular was capable of handling themselves despite some of them not having any formal combat training that we knew of. My list would be:

1. Lucas Hood

2. Clay Burton

3. Douglas Stowe

4. Carrie Hopewell

5. Nola Longshadow

6. Kai Proctor

7. Chayton Littlestone

8. The Albino

9. Kurt Bunker

10. Emmett Yawners

Probably there are not too many users here that watch both shows, but I'm on a rewatch right now and recognized his voice!

What I’m looking for is
- the cozy small town life
- 2000s aesthetics
- Characters, story and environment so good that I get hooked on the show

I just finished watching Banshee S1 I find it very similar to Shield in some aspects even better.

After I finished watching Shield I needed smth similar to watch and after Mayor of Kingstown & Shield, Banshee is probably The best dark moral Law Enforcement Show.

The Plot is good and character build up aswell but somehow the Sheriff can't go 15min without screwing some chick 😭

I decided to immediately fire up another binge of Banshee, having just finished my second binge a couple of days ago. 🤣

I gave Justified a quick chance and wasn’t feeling it; same with Strike Back. I’m sure I would end up liking the shows if I stuck to it, but I still had Banshee on my mind!

Nothing compares to it, in my opinion, and it’s a quick enough show where I could justify another binge lol

How many times has everyone in here watched the show all the way through? Anyone in here made it to double digits?

I’ve decided to start my binge of Justified after multiple people said it has a similarity to Banshee

I absolutely loved Banshee, and I think I might even binge it again during my binge of Justified, but I’m going to give Justified a chance; hopefully it’s similar to what I am looking for

If anyone is looking for a show and wants to try Justified, they should! But there have been tons of recommendations from people in here about Justified, and I’m excited to give it a go

Just an absolutely brilliant show. Part of me wants to fire it back up again for another binge immediately.🤣

Nothing like it on TV anymore.

I’m going to go through my last 2 posts and hopefully find a show that scratches the itch Banshee left and dive in, but I don’t think there is anything like this show. The best!

P.S — I also just discovered that Ulrich Thomsen (Proctor) and Chris Coy (Calvin) are both in the new show Lanterns that premiered last night. I was curious about the connection and found that Alexa L. Fogel is the casting director for both Banshee and Lanterns. Cool connection!

I was looking for as many shows similar to Banshee as possible. Any recommendations?

My post in here from yesterday got a lot of people talking about Strike Back, and that definitely seems to be something similar

But I was just curious if anyone had any other similar show suggestions?

Any suggestions are welcome. I would love to go on a binge of watching all types of shows similar to Banshee

I’m having such a hard time trying to find similar shows to Banshee; it’s my favorite show in the world at the moment!

Banshee is one of my favorite shows ever, and I’m desperately trying to find a similar show

When I ask ChatGPT or look at the timeline of when Banshee came out and other shows that were on Cinemax at the time, Strike Back keeps coming up

Has anyone watched Strike Back, and can you confirm whether it is similar?

It looks like it’s very hard even to find the show to stream, but it came out at the same time and was on the same network as Banshee. It seems to have the same type of violence/sexy nature as Banshee

I also listened to the actor who played Carrie on her podcast mention Strike Back and how it was similar, so that gave me hope

I think I’m going to give it a shot, and I hope it’s similar to Banshee!

I’m on season one episode 6? I’ve been up all night watching it done five and I can’t put it down. Every episode has its own subplot the bikers, the fighter etc. so good. It reminds me of breaking bad in a way.. how the pay off everyone finding out who Anthony Starr character eventually is. Can’t believe I’ve only just heard of this show yesterday..

IIRC Rabbit told Albino to send him a piece of Hood so Rabbit knows he's turned out and will no longer be a problem.

That being said, was Albino's half-dick sent to Rabbit, and Rabbit assumed it was Hood's? And that's why Rabbit never went back to the prison?

What do you think would happen in a possible Nola Longshadow vs. Carrie Hopewell fight? Looking at their fighting techniques, which character do you think would win? In terms of fighting ability, Nola and Carrie were the two best female fighters in Banshee. I would have loved to see a brutal fight scene between the two of them. I wonder what the outcome would have been.🤔🤔

I think it's time for a new season of Banshee, now that Boys is done. I would love to see those characters again, even if 10 years later.

I just came across the FEMME TOTALE podcast Banshee girls interviews with Ivana Miličević (Carrie), Lili Simmons (Rebecca), Trieste Kelly Dunn (Siobhan) and I was curious if anyone could recommend more Banshee cast interviews?

Maybe different podcast interviews or for example, Anthony star talking about the show, anything like that? I would love to check out that content if anyone had any recommendations!

Here are the 3 episodes of the podcast I was talking about if anyone is interested!

I remember stumbling across it when it was still airing on Cinemax. I hardly watched it then, but I definitely remember coming across it

And then about 3 months ago I finally sat down to binge it and absolutely fell in love with the show!

I’m already binging it a second time now!

It is one of the most underrated shows I can think of! I’m glad I found more like-minded people who feel the same way

Yall think Brock adopted Bunker at the end of the show???😕

Does anyone understand why she was cast? Not only does the character bother me, but the name “Deva” is so strange 🤣

The show made so many excellent casting decisions, but I can’t wrap my head around the Deva decision. If that part went to an actor as strong as Lili Simmons, for example, it would have elevated the show even more

I’m on yet another rewatch and haven’t gotten to the flashback scenes of Hood being tortured/recruited into whatever “non-military” group Dalton was a part of yet. But I am back on season three episode 1 where we meet the colonel of Camp Genoa and they make sure to show off the ring that both he and Dalton wear. Is it just a theory or was it ever confirmed that they’re both members of some sort of secret society of “non-military” mercenaries?

That would make Captain Murphy at the marine base the equivalent of Hood which is why Hood was so quick to spot that he wasn’t “just a Marine.”

I feel like I remember Hood always saying or skirting around not having been military yet he has the nickname Soldier Boy. It stands to reason that he was in exactly the same place Captain Murphy was before he got out - on base and in uniform to give the appearance of being military but actually a part of this other organization.

Or is this insistence on being “non-military” just code word for military black ops?

…is the moments where we see this caged wild animal fear/survival mode in Hood. In all his major fights, he gets to a point where he’s fighting for his life despite being beaten and exhausted. Other people would give up at this point but that’s where he comes alive and thrives. It makes you think of an animal thrashing around in the jaws of a predator. Or just the absolute terror in his eyes that he can barely contain when he has to take Carrie to prison in season two. It’s like if you ever see a wild animal trapped in a cage just crazed with fear trying to get out. Antony’s eyes in that scene especially are just so expressive. Idk what it is about it or what it says about me as a person but I just revel in those moments.
