She has herself adopted an assumed identity of a married woman and raised a family during Hood's imprisonment.įilled with dirty, poppy, and preposterous images, Banshee is a gruesome work of writers focused on making anything but a lasting impression. It has an element of nasty romanticism where you'll find Hood attempting to reconcile with his former lover, Anastasia (Ivana Miličević), Rabbit's daughter. The story portrays the tension between the characters and how it leads to several brutal incidents, including murders, betrayal, etc. The story takes place in Banshee - a Pennsylvanian town, where our main character - an ambiguous con (played by Antony Starr) - is seen faking the identity of the town's murdered sheriff, Lucas Hood, to hide from the powerful crime lord, Rabbit (played by Ben Cross). The television series portrays some excellent intense and brutal scenes, enough for sticking you to the screen. It started appearing on the Cinemax network beginning on January 11, 2013, which can hook you up for up to its latest 4th season.
