the show is good but I think they will lose a ton of their audience by making them wait a year and a half for the second season. people move on and forget about shows in less time than that.
Banshee is by far the best show on Maxx ….the only show that beats it…actually their are two. Homeland, and Dexter of course..But the two women in Banshee OMG…That Amish chick OMG…She makes me hard just looking at her with her clothes on…
LOVE THE HELL OF THIS SHOW

I have just recently found the show, and it is fantastic. And to think, “What have I missed???” It is the best show on TV, hands down. It has a dark/exciting plot, that keeps me glued to the TV, and I refuse to leave while it is on. It is a winner!!!
Seriously? Wait until 2014 for Season 2? ********.
We really enjoy the seasonso far
We love the show – glad it’s coming back for a 2nd season!
my husband & I absolutely love the show. Its gritty, exciting. raw & off the grid. It even has the kind of law enforcement that is needed today” their hand aren’t tied by political liberals afraid to to hurt someones feelings. Go in & kick some ass, take out the real bad guys!
My husband and I recently subscribed to direct tv and started watching this show. It is awesome!!! *****
