Banshee Season 4 Featurette

Been keeping an eye on ‘Banshee’?  If not, you really should.  And for those who have already made it to the end of season three, check out this feature for season four.  Episode one debuts on Cinemax, April 1st.

Brief outline:

Banshee is set in the fictional small town of Banshee, Pennsylvania. The series is based around an unnamed protagonist, who spent 15 years in prison after stealing $10 million in diamonds from his employer, Rabbit, a Ukrainian mob boss. Upon leaving prison, the protagonist realizes that Rabbit is still after him, and he escapes to a small town called Banshee. This is also the town in which he believes his former lover and accomplice, Anastasia, resides; she is also hiding from Rabbit, who is her father. She has also assumed a new identity, “Carrie Hopewell”, is married and has two children. In an attempt to start a new life, the protagonist assumes the identity of Lucas Hood, a police officer, and becomes the town sheriff. Banshee sees Hood struggle with adapting to his new identity while dealing with the machinations of local crime lord Kai Proctor, piecing together his relationship with Anastasia, and remaining hidden from Rabbit.

A cool, violent and mature show.  A man’s soap opera almost.  Kind of like Sons of Anarchy on some level, but without Kurt Sutter’s corny cheese.
