So, how did you all come across Banshee?

Haha! No, I think it was on the
The Walking Dead
board, back in the day when I still posted there. But I remember it being mentioned a few times by "Crazytown" inhabitants, in one of those "What are you watching now?" threads.

I've been a fan of Antony Starr ever since I watched Outrageous Fortunes, where he was amazing as the twins, Van and Jethro. Once I knew he was going to be in Banshee, there was never a chance that I was going to miss it.
so bollocks is bad, but dogs bollocks is good?

He's fantastic in the five or so episodes I've seen, but I just can't get my teeth into that show. I wish I could!

I don't know, I'm just not 'feeling' it, I guess.

I'm a big fan of Six Feet Under, so I decided to check out Banshee because Alan Ball was an executive producer, and I wasn't disappointed. BTW I showed a few episodes to my neighbour, who is a Russian traffic cop, and he was hooked immediately)

Same here. I check everything Alan Ball produces.
What other shows do you like?
Next to Banshee I also enjoyed Six Feet Under and also love The Americans and Breaking Bad.

My favourite is The Wire of course. I also liked Oz and Homeland. And I watch The Americans, too. Did you watch True Blood? I don't like this whole vampire theme, but since Alan Ball chose to do this show himself (cos he liked the books) I think maybe I'll still check it out some day.

I didn't watch True Blood. Only the first episode. I was not much attracted to it, but perhaps I need to give it another try and watch a few more episodes. Liked the intro music though with its weird video.
I follow Homeland too.
The wire and Oz are now on my to watch list.

Dexter was pretty good, too - at least, first five seasons. Also I'm going to check Justified - some Banshee fans recommended it to me. And first episode of Outcast (Cinemax) was not bad - I think I'll keep watching.

Thank you for the recommendations! But first I am gonna watch Banshee again, from the first episode on.

I bumped into it very randomly on that French channel Canal Plus one Monday night, that very scene with Job telling that teen to go away and get pregnant. And I was hooked haha!

LOL! That was pure gold.

I used to watch Strike Back on Cinemax and saw an ad for this new show called Banshee. It intrigued me enough to tune in. I was hooked from the first ep!
