Banshee is a crime drama that aired on Cinemax from 2013 to 2016. It was recently added to HBO Max which is why I've made a thread about it. Pitch: After 15 years in prison a con has been released. We aren't given his original name, but after a few gnarly events he is able to assume the identity of an incoming sheriff in Banshee, Pennsylvania. Yes, this show has nothing to do with screaming Irish ghosts. The town, with a healthy population of Amish folk, is controlled by a crime lord and the gubment wants the new sheriff to fix that. Cast  Antony Starr as Lucas Hood/Unknown Real Name: In the first episode he's called something like "The best thief in America." But he got caught after stealing from a Ukrainian mobster. After being let out of prison 15 years later he immediately tracked down his ex-partner, who lives in Banshee. Ended up staying there.  Ivana Milicevic as Carrie Hopewell: Past partner of Lucas. She has settled down in Banshee and married the DA of Banshee County. She has two kids, the rebellious teen Deva and dangerously asthmatic Max.  Ulrich Thomsen as Kai Proctor: Crime lord of Banshee. Likes to get his dick sucked by African-American women that he makes wear Amish bonnets. Look. There's a lot I could explain here, but just know he's your typical way-too-smart ruthless crime lord character. He "works" at a slaughter house and gets to eat very good beef every day.  Frankie Faison as Sugar Bates: An ex-con ex-boxer that runs the bar that Lucas lives above. Nice dude. Stereotype old guy that looks over the protagonist.  Hoon Lee as Job: Pronounced like the Gob from Arrested Development... or the Bible I think? Counterfeiter computer genius person that straight-up blows up their salon in the first episode. Comparable to Whiterose from Mr. Robot (although they came first).

I didn’t realize Warrior had the same show runner. I got pretty far into the first season and dropped off for.. no reason at all. That’s awesome and I’ll need to get back to it ounce I binge the poo poo outta Banshee.
