I saw the promos before the first season and thought it looked over the top so I checked out the premiere and loved it. That first season this board consisted of me and a handful of others posting once or twice a week usually after the show on Friday.
I told all my friends to watch it as rabidly as I did when Breaking Bad premiered. I'm sad it's over but happy Banshee eventually got something of a following.

I found season 1 in blue ray, in the bargain bin. Cost $2 dollars. most minutes per cent kind of thing.

When I was looking for tv series to watch on DVD & order from the library for free, I came across the title, and thought it was a horror series about a banshee or something! Well, if it was violence I wanted, I certainly got it with this show! Sad to see it over.

This is the one show I would make an effort to hide, how much I like it, from my girlfriend. And I watch a lot of TV.

A friend told me about it because he knows i hate cops who has to do everything by the book and therefor never gets anything done, and since Lucas Hood doens't give a beep about the book and gets things done - he knew i'd love it.

I'd never heard of itI saw it mentioned on the Sons of Anarchy board in relation to eliza Dushkuwho is not even in SOA but was discussed as a possible Gemma in an SOA prequel..
(same way I heard about 'Billions" re Maggie Siff, SOA board)
I knew I'd seen the female lead somewhere, but fkd if I could figure wherethen I see she was recurring guest in 'Vegas", and I knew who straight away..
You go to that board too? Nice. I never see you there for some reason though. I really cannot see Eliza as playing a version of Gemma, but that's not the point.
Isn't it crazy the ways we end up eventually finding our favorite shows? Even through some minuscule event.

i watched the pilot of season 1 when it aired the first time. Haven't missed and episode until the very end

Someone on reddit posted a clip of Hood castrating and then killing the albino from Season 1.
I thought, this is obviously a family show and needs to be watched.

It was mentioned a lot on Imdb and other message boards .
I just finished the first episode; so far, it's a contender for the most corny, most cliched TV show I have ever watched .
But it's early days, maybe it gets better .
The lead actor is hopeless, though, as generic as it gets .

I don't remember what the title was, but I clicked on a video here on the imdb home page where someone talked about how it was worth watching so I checked it out.

From my sinful days watching skinemax
Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose on the 3rd day. Turn away from sin and to Christ

I've had a crush on Ivana Milicevic going back years. I heard she was going to be in this and decided to give it a look. Ironically, she plays my least favorite character of the entire show's main cast.
My memory foam pillow says it can't remember my face. I can tell its lying.

Received a Cinemax ad in the mail with Hood on the cover of the flyer. The title sounded intriguing and the character looked like he meant serious business, so I checked it out on a streaming website. About a week later, I ended up buying Seasons 1 & 2 on blu-ray in preparation for Season 3.

I was getting free Showtime due to some promotion from DirecTV. I decided to check out the Showtime original shows, and started watching Banshee even though Id never heard of it.
Ive still never met anyone IRL who watches it. I told a buddy to watch it, but he quit after Season 1 as he didnt care for it.

Watched the 3rd episode of the show on tv by just happening to have the tv turned on at night. Then I watched the first two eps and the third again. There was no coming back. Luckily for me, the series had ended just 2 months ago I was able to watch them all straight.

Saw the poster, saw it was on cinemax, had seen Strike Back, from the name I thought it was about a Banshee (didn't take too close a look at the poster), tried ep1. From the point that by-stander got shot in the head I knew this was the show for me. (pity about the final season though)

I came across it from seeing previews for season 1 after watching my other fav show Strike Back.

Intrigued because Alan Ball was Exec Producer. This is the same man who bought us American Beauty, Six Feet Under and True Blood I knew it would be a hit, my only concern would he drag the story line out like in his last two. Much to my dismay this should have gotten a 5th season. Now you can watch Hood or whatever his name was on American Gothic Weds on CBS.

Huge Buffy fan and heard ED was in it.

I was watching random fight scenes from tv shows on youtube, I saw the thumbnail to the Albino fight scene in Banshee at one point. I watched it and was absolutely blown away. I had to watch the show at that point. I started the first episode and was hooked, then I binged all three seasons. I still have to watch season 4. One of my all time favourite shows.

I spend some amount of time in a cabin high in the mountains during the winter - it has the luxury of solar and generator electricity, so I have a bluray player there. Last fall I picked up season 2 of Strike Back to watch in the evenings, and when I opened it one night I found a thin envelope inside with the pilot episode of Banshee.
Chucked a couple of logs on the fire and started a new series

I came across it by mistake. I was still reeling from the show Spartacus ending. One night I happened to be flipping through channels and noticed the first episode of Banshee had just aireddecided to watch the replay and stuck with it ever since, although I have to say the ridiculous opening scene in downtown Manhattan almost blew it for me.

My friend raved about it to me. It sounded good, but when he told me about Hood ripping the cagefighter's hand apart I decided it was a must see!
Probably one of my favorite TV series ever.
I usually get fed up with series after a little while. Not with Banshee.
