Searching for a show to ease the pain of losing Banshee?

There are 2 shows I'd bundle with Banshee: Spartacus and Daredevil. All are action based and does it really well.
Spartacus has more humor, lots actually, I think it works great. Due to the death of an actor, the 4 seasons are a bit wonky (season 2: "Gods Of The Arena" is actually a prequel to season 1), but watch it in the same sequence they were made for maximum enjoyment. First season is a bit rough, but it feels like every last department were fast learners, it improves into a good looking, well paced show fast. My clear favorite action show till Banshee came around.

Daredevil is well made, kinda gritty too and low on humor. Even if its a superhero show, I'd say he isn't that much more "super" than most of the Banshee cast. His 2 friends do drag a bit (especially Foggy), but they are my only real issue. Think of Foggy as Daredevils mother, then he becomes comic relief. The villains are great too.

If you haven't seen Justified, you have to. If you like Banshee, it's pretty much guaranteed that you'll love Justified.
The shows feel like they're written by the same person, both have the same witty writing, brilliant acting and intricate story lines. Very relatable main characters that are heavily flawed, just like Hood or Carrie. Very memorable villains. And so much more.
Justified and Banshee will always be 2 of my top rated shows of all time. -

Justifed is excellent. Some of the best dialogue and characters ever. Much like Deadwood which also featured Timothy Olyphant, even the drunken bums wax eloquently on Justified. -

I really enjoyed "JUSTIFIED". Granted, it does not compare to Banshee in the action department, but it does give one 5 seasons of enjoyment.
I'm in my second watching of Banshee right now, and like seeing things come together organically without the waiting. Will probably even give it another watching this winter. -

Good suggestions here, I absolutely 120% agree with Justified and came here to suggest that, Hats off to whoever mentioned the shield too.
One that wasn't mentioned which might be to your liking. It doesn't have the crazy fight scenes banshee had but it DOES have the raw emotional power Banshee had

You know it's good too when both America has remade it, and the UK is remaking it.
