I like Ray Donovan, it's interesting and similar to Banshee. All over, I love shows with flawed individuals.

I don't know, I don't think these 2 shows are comparable. Strike Back is a straight up action show with little else, it almost entirely lacks the well done character work that I really liked in Banshee. For someone coming from Banshee to really like Strike Back, one should have enjoyed nothing about Banshee but the pure action and sex scenes.

Exactly. Strike Back is so lame, especially if compared to Banshee.
Boycott movies that involve real animal violence (& their directors)

Impastor. It's the comedy version of Banshee, instead of a thief/con man, the protagonist is a scumbag, instead of sheriff, he impersonates a gay pastor (he's straight and knows nothing about the bible).

Ray Donovan is a great show - Binge watch it!

Yeah right down and it's one of the finest TV shows to ever have been made right up there with Banshee The Sopranos the wire and Breaking Bad

I would've bet money that those shows would be mentioned. They always are.

I disagree. I felt VERY let down by Ray Donovan, and had no interest in the second season. It's still going?

of course it's still going.

I'd give Justified a run for it's money, The Shield too, Bloodline, Rectify and Kingdom are also criminally underrated

Preacher
.
It was the supposed similarities to the comic that got me into Banshee in the first place, and only two days after said show concludes comes the TV-adaptation of Preacher! Begins tomorrow.

Only problem with Preacher: AMC

How about going back to old shows? Sometime it's better to go back and see what we have missed?
Look into these shows
Justified
Luther
Bosch ( gets better after few episodes and season 3 will be coming soon)

You think they'll be unable to pull off a decent adaptation?

gplusr — 9 years ago(May 21, 2016 01:43 PM)

Not exactly about their quality, the real problem is the network, they seem to be very tight on how explicit their violence is going to be, and since The Walking Dead lost their hand a long time ago and other shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad were both VERY slow, I'm afraid of how Preacher will turn out to be.

[fgadmin]

plutomani — 9 years ago(May 21, 2016 02:06 PM)

I see. While I'm a huge fan of the comic I'm nonetheless prepared for massive changes. The previews and reviews so far has confirmed that much. Not that I expected anything less - there are certain things in the comic I wouldn't expect anyone would dare putting on TV.

The first few seasons of BB seemed to CRAWL. But shows being slow isn't always a bad thing. In fact, sometimes it makes them even better and more fleshed out. I'd rather take a high quality show than a fast paced one.
Alas, here is my answer to OP's original question:
The Shield
Sons of Anarchy
LOST
Dexter
Six Feet Under
Deadwood
Fringe
Fiends
Mad Men
