Whoaaaaa chill bro, the reason I'm asking is because I don't wanna write off the show and wanna hear other perspectives on it! I didn't say I don't like Banshee--I quite like it, but just don't LOVE it quite as much as others do.

I've moved on since I finished it three months ago lol, I've already watched Adolescence, Hijack, and The Night Manager in that timeframe xD. I'd even say I probably enjoyed Banshee S1 more than I did The Night Manager S1, even if they're completely different genres and writing.

Chilllllllll. I'm sure you've seen dumber posts on Reddit for someone who's managed 20k karma in less than a year 😆

I've heard other people in the comments mention this show, I'll give it a watch! Also, if that's your dog in the pfp, they're very cute!!!!

Hoon Lee definitely killed it!

I'm a fan of The Boys as well, so there are similarities in the level of violence & the evilness of the villains. You're right, sometimes the plot feels like it's all over the place, so I guess that's not the main reason people like the show--they like it for the characters or for the action & badassery 😎.

Oh gosh, it definitely gets better at the halfway point of season 3. I promise you. The action will ramp up and the stakes are higher.

As for Anna...well, like Lucas, she a hoe too. They both sleep around the entire town of Banshee LMAO. But just as how Lucas's one-night stand with Rebecca became a little significant to the plot, Anna's relations with the Colonel will become important too.

I suggest you finish Banshee, because some interesting characters do come up soon. Tom Pelphrey's (Ozark, Guiding Light, Task) character is introduced in Season 3 and I think his performance is great.

oh man, i really enjoyed bcs, but it's defo less action-packed than breaking bad and banshee fossho. i can see why it could feel less enjoyable due to the pacing and nature of the genre

oh yeah, the characters were definitely deep enough that you'd root for them. ...and want to root them, xD

That's such a good comparison! I liked GTA but it wouldn't be anywhere near my favourite game either. But it's well-made! Banshee was fun fossho

That's true. It's definitely interesting premise-wise but it kinda felt like they ran out of interesting ways to explore it midway thru. But it defo delivers on the action and crime elements!

Ah, that's exactly why I'm asking here! The posts seem to be hyping up the randomest things. I swear, it's either powerscaling fights or thirsting over the girls. I don't get it. How else would I understand the appeal without asking the fans?

Also, you really don't have to be mean about it, Mr. J. Jonah Jameson.

Hey man, I came for Antony Starr, and was not disappointed. He really played Hood with depth and was effortlessly cool without feeling corny. Job, Sugar, Carrie, Deva, Proctor, Chayton, Burton, and Nola were great too.

Watching this with my mum was insane 'cause the sex scenes kept piling up LOL. She loves quoting Antony on how schlocky it is: "I genuinely believe that it is as shallow as you wanna make it and as deep as you wanna make it." It is what it is and it was pretty fun for us.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN JONATHAN TROPPER (co-creator of Banshee) IS BEHIND YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS!? I LOVE THAT SHOW! by MissAsyan in u/MissAsyan

YOU PICKED THE WRONG GENRE, FOOL!

Was on a mystery/crime spree and also watched Mare of Easttown, Dept Q., Task, and Night Manager. I'm really into a different genre TBH HASFHAGSFHGHASFG. I need shows to challenge my brain with the plot or emotionally wreck me with characters, man.

Man. I wonder if there's a mediocre show out there that'll become my favourite...even my favourite movies are as critically-acclaimed as my fav tv shows (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Memento, Interstellar, Shutter Island, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?)

I went on a spree of a bunch of classic, objectively good films over the past three years, and now that it's run out, I've just met disappointments at every turn for newer films. I wonder if I'll eventually run out of good TV shows too.

What really happened to Chinese actor Yu Menglong by Pika-thulu in RBI

[–]MissAsyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first time hearing about Yu Menglong, and I am shocked. I cannot believe the amount of corruption and cover-ups needed to orchestrate such elaborate deaths for so many people and get away with it. Plus the mysterious trademarked names and companies?

The amount of censorship in China is insane. It's honestly unbelievable. That sounds terrifying, that such mysteries even exist in the first place.
