What do you think? Do you like the Banshee TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
they need to cut down the opening credits. The way it’s cut makes you think it’s about to end and then it builds up again and again and again. Plus its a pain in the ass having to fast forward every episode.
More action than ever. More intense. Better Friday nights.
Yay, it’s being renewed for a fourth season! I love this show, it is so addicting. I came across it by accident and got hooked! You never hear anything about it advertising-wise. If you could put it out there more somehow, I’m sure viewship would skyrocket. This show is the only reason I watch Cinemax, so keep it coming!
TV dominated by women shows, but Cinemax doesn’t have the same baby wipes, SUV and cereal advertisers to worry about.
does anyone know if this show is close to getting axed? 530k viewers doesn’t seem like a lot. however it’s clearly the best show going right now!!
Well as long as the ratings are equal to or above last season I’m happy, since that would pretty much guarantee season 4 will be forthcoming……and that’s where the ratings seem to be so far.
Cannot believe more people are not watching this great show
Banshee is by far the best thing i watch on cable tv. the last episode(season 3 ep 1) was outstanding. great writing and the actors are top notch as well….i too only have Cinemax because of this show.
correction: episode 2 is the best one yet.
correction: episode 3 is the best one yet.
correction episode 5….I dont know how they make every episode absolutely outstanding
totally!! I just wish the female cop didn’t have to go:(
I hope this awesome show continues more than these seasons but hopefully with shorter breaks!!
This show keeps getting better with each new season so far. Being that my other favorite Cinemax series “Strike Back” is coming to an end this year, they’d better keep “Banshee” going for awhile.
Great show!
This is the only show I look forward to watching on Cinemax. If it is cancelled I do not see any reason to keep my Cinemax subscription. Please let this series continue, it has so much potential.
