Banshee: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Alison Willmore indieWire Banshee has a ridiculous energy that's ultimately irresistible, especially when it starts to seem like a shameless mash-up of other TV and film properties. Jan 7, 2019 Full Review Banshee: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Phelim O'Neill Guardian This show is trashy pulp, but, make no mistake, it's trashy pulp of the highest quality. Jan 7, 2019 Full Review Banshee: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Allison Keene Collider Banshee is a great surprise on the winter TV docket, and absolutely worth the trouble of finding it to watch. Jan 7, 2019 Full Review Banshee: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand This is crime TV at its pulpiest, with an unusually sex-positive approach to the obligatory softcore scenes and a brutal twist to the violence. Aug 19, 2023 Full Review Banshee: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Dan Buffa KSDK News (St. Louis) ...the best show on television and one that deserves your attention. Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Banshee: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Banshee's first season certainly was an enjoyable one - despite its indulgence in boobs and blood, it managed to carve out a little niche of pulpy drama powered by great performances across the main cast.

Paul B Rewatching all the seasons again. Watched them the first time around. Amazing show Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Andrei D Needs to be quicker but mostly works Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review NotPCPattayaComedy I'm love with this show. the show has characters that actually all matter. the villian makes you sympathize. the protagonist has heart even if everything he does is grey area actions. Anthony Starr is amazing. Hoon lee & Ulrich Thomsen equally as great. you'll never see something like this made again in 2023 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Pasquale u How did it take me so long to see this. It's amazing! I started watching for Anthony starr only to realize the whole cast is awesome. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/23 Full Review Craig S Saw the scores on here and assumed would be great. One of the least logical, completely ridiculous shows I have ever watched. Even worse it takes itself seriously. Writing very poor, storyline all over the place. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Michael Sean S i thought this show was completely rubbish, couldn't get into it when it 1st dropped on TV and recently tried again and still rubbish.
