8 Reasons Why You Should Watch Banshee
1. The Action
If you ask any fan of this show what the best thing it does is, they will almost always say the action scenes. I would say they are some of the most visceral, exciting and creative beats of action you will find on TV.
The choreography is flashy but very brutal. You truly feel every punch and characters look like they've been through hell and back after a fight. Some of the top fight scenes include a disgusting prison brawl, a nail-biting fist fight on a road invloving oncoming traffic, and a brilliantly choreographed fight shot in and around a very expensive car.
It's not just the hand to hand combat that works well; there are also some brilliant shootouts scattered throughout . The two that stand out are a brilliant and quietly tense encounter in a corn field, and of course, season 1's barnstormer of a finale.
If for no other reason, watch this show to see how they make these fight and set peices so compelling and thrilling on such a small budget.
