After serving fifteen years in prison, he finds his way to Banshee in search of the remnants of the life he once had, only to discover that everything he'd like to reclaim after his time served - the love of his life and partner in crime, Carrie/Ana (Ivana Milicevic), his profession, and $10 million in diamonds - are all lost due to the passage of time and misfortune. Much like the town of Banshee itself, it's an unpredictable and volatile journey hallmarked by well-drawn characters, despite its own war with believability along the way.Īntony Starr's protagonist doesn't remain "nameless" for long. What comes as a surprise is how much violence and raw passion crams into this yarn about an untamed ex-convict turned lawman, a nameless and unreadable rogue who drags a small Pennsylvania town into his bloody, vengeful past. Created with the intention of expanding the network's original programming (and to draw attention by pushing some boundaries), the show arrives on the steam of True Blood and Six Feet Under producer Alan Ball, assuring that some degree of snappy dialogue and saucy characterization, crammed within a tweaked outlook on the American Gothic, would factor in. If Quentin Tarantino cranked out a contemporary answer to Boardwalk Empire and Justified, mixed with a little Big Love to get the provocative juices flowing, then it'd probably look something like Banshee, Cinemax's new original series.
