For the most part, the new season (I've seen four of the eight episodes) is excellent. Tropper and company find new contexts for most of the characters to match their altered surroundings. ... But in the middle of this comes a brand new kind of story for the show, and one that made me cringe not with delight at Banshee's latest impressive bit of the old ultraviolence, but with concern that Banshee had become TV's latest drama to prominently feature a serial killer.

The bottom line is that Banshee is both the same as it ever was and full of new purpose. Read full review

Tucked away on Cinemax and by now almost doggedly proud of both its cult status and its utter unpredictability, Banshee remains a pure pleasure machine, at once vulnerable and sturdy, and determined to go out on its own terms, whatever the hell those may be. Read full review

With so many broken relationships and so much change, the story feels alienated from what came before. [1/8 Apr 2016, p.99]

Astonishing good series.
I loved the storyline, the terrific "over the top" fighting-scenes. They were marvelous.

I´ll surely miss a sequel..... This is the best series in a decade

Well, what can I say. I love this show and am very sad that this is the last season. The reason I really like this show is that it plays by its own rules and Cinemax just lets the creators run with their crazy ideas. I usually hate flashbacks in shows (Arrow, cough, cough), but it is doneWell, what can I say. I love this show and am very sad that this is the last season.

I usually hate flashbacks in shows (Arrow, cough, cough), but it is done very well here. I still think Season 2 is the best season out of ANY TV show I have every seen. Season 4 is shaping up to be right behind Season 2 and I am exciting to see how it all ends.… Expand

Gritty fun. Like an adult graphic novel put to the screen. Cartoonish realism I would call it. If you like sex, violence and action, and can suspend disbelief just enough, this is a 4 season ride that you can really enjoy. The characters of Job, Kai Proctor, Sugar Bates, Kurt Bunker areGritty fun. Like an adult graphic novel put to the screen. Cartoonish realism I would call it. If you like sex, violence and action, and can suspend disbelief just enough, this is a 4 season ride that you can really enjoy. The characters of Job, Kai Proctor, Sugar Bates, Kurt Bunker are some of my favorites.

I am amused by users (or more likely same person multiple times) who review a late season of a show and rate it a zero. I really did laugh out loud. To repeatedly watch a show that you can't stand enough to pretend to know about it, especially season after season is hilarious. There is a song about that. "Too much time on my hands..."

I am pretty sure it is the same person multiple times because they all sound similar and more tellingly, mention their bizarre hatred of Eliza Dushku. It was worth the laughter though, thank you.… Expand

EThings written below sum up the problems with this show but then this is Cinemax so one shouldn't be surprise. Dushku's addition adds nothing as she is playing the same old role from the 90's.

The critiques below pretty much sum up this show. I would add that bringing on Eliza Dushku actually hurt the show because it took away the chance to bring finality to the main characters instead of becoming a cardboard cut-out that you usually find on Cinemax

Cardboard characters, not believable back scene, Dushku plays cardboard figure of strength which means play-acting kicking butt. Pretty much par for Cinemax and Dushku

Well, Only about 2 episodes left and then we can put a stake through this awful series. Maybe then Eliza Dushku will grow up and act her age. I am also offended about how she uses her ADD as an excuse for utter stupidity. "Army of Faith"= most idiotic thing said on Twitter.
