Banshee: Season 3

completing a series plays well

Perfect thrill ride

To put it bluntly, I was amazed! Note that I do have cable TV but that I do not subscribe to the titty channels, so that the relatively infrequent nudity and just-below X-rated sex was a delightful surprise, as were the frequent F-bombs that occurred exactly when expected (as they would in a more or less real-life situation, depending on your personal experiences). My partner was offended by the language (and the sex) so I had to watch this all alone but that didn't mean I enjoyed it any less.You can get the plot anywhere (Wiki is a good place to start) so I'll not go into that. What I will HIGHLY recommend is watching each season's BANSHEE ORIGINS set of clips so you can get a heads up on what you're about to see without having to figure it out piecemeal from the episodes themselves. Note that this is absolutely necessary at the beginning of season four, where a lapse of 18-months has occurred.The clips were scripted and shot separately from the episodes themselves, as explained by the producers on the commentary audio. I had originally thought that they were outtakes or sections that were cut for time purposes but that was not the case. THEY DO EXPLAIN A BUNCH OF STUFF!I can say that each season opens with a whole new set of problems and a bunch of characters whom the writers were not afraid of killing off just to torment the survivors and shock the audience.To save time and effort, this same review will be posted for seasons 2 through 4 (the last season of the series).

No complaints with the show itself. This season features two brutally realistic fights and a number of interesting new characters. My only complaint is that in the Episode 1 Commentary there are spoilers of two different deaths of characters later in the season. There is even less reason to believe that people buying a series on DVD that comes from a premium cable show have seen the entire season on TV than shows from network TV. I usually like to watch everything on a disc at one time, while the episodes are still fresh in my mind, so foretelling future plot points and character deaths in an early commentary is extremely annoying. It's called drama people! Let the story develop! Since the season is only 10 episodes, the best way to watch it and the commentaries, is to watch all the episodes and then go back and watch the commentaries. Yes, I do like the commentaries, but a comprehensive commentary discussing the specifics of the entire season goes on the last episode of a season, not the first.

I have the first two seasons of this series so I was happy when season three was released.If you have not heard of this show and enjoy action and suspense programs this is the show for you.Synopsis : A man with mob ties is finally released from prison after spending years there for stealing diamonds along with his girlfriend, the mob leaders daughter but he get's caught, she doesn't.Fast forward after years of incarceration he's released and immediately sets out to find her and eventually does but there is a twist.He takes the identity of the towns new sheriff that no one has even seen or met who died an untimely death in a bar where the former convict was at and everything cascades from there as the lie gets him in deeper into trouble as he continues to try and hide his true identity.Shoot them up action with a dose of beautiful ladies Banshee delivers in spades.

Perfect condition

I love this show. As I tell people all the time, this show has it all. SEX, love, kids, violence, over the top fight scenes, shooting, crooks, drugs, strip clubs, bad cops, good cops, bad mayors, drunks, back stabbers, are all common place in every episode, which means that there is something for everyone, in the Amish countryside. WHAT, Amish too, yep. Must be the most corrupt small town in all of America. BUT, makes for entertaining TV to the MAX. I would need to put this in my collection for desert island collections for limited entertainment. GET IT>

I enjoy the series
