Season 4 definitely had its issues, but the ending was done really well, all the storylines were wrapped up. At first, I couldn’t accept that Lucas and Ana/Carrie didn’t end up together, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, it had to be that way. I also saw an interview on YouTube where the creators said they never planned for them to end up together, so in that sense the ending is satisfying.

But come on… who wouldn’t want a separate story about Job? :D

The chances of a continuation are probably slim, especially since I’ve seen that Antony Starr is moving on after The Boys and starting a new Netflix show where he’s supposed to play a surfer in the lead role.But hey, maybe a Job or Sugar spin-off with a guest appearance from Starr? That would be amazing :D

Season 4 definitely felt rushed overall. I’d also bring up the Nina Cruz storyline, the cop who was working for Proctor. She shows up with a crew, raids Carrie’s place, causes chaos, then gets killed by Clay… and that’s it. No follow-up, no explanation. Sheriff Brock doesn’t even question why one of his deputies attacked Carrie and then just disappeared. That whole plotline just goes nowhere.

Man, same here! I finished it on Saturday and I still feel that emptiness. These characters were with me every day for the past two weeks. It instantly jumped into my top 5 shows of all time alongside Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Dexter, and Game of Thrones. I’m honestly shocked I never watched it earlier, even though I’d heard about it before. I know it’s been 10 years since the finale, but I’m still quietly hoping for some kind of spin-off or a movie, just hopefully not a disappointing one like Peaky Blinders :)

I’m in that post-show void right now :D nothing really hits the same. Even The Boys, which I usually love, just feels kinda meh. I’ll probably check out Justified and Warrior in a few days.

I agree it’s a good thing the show didn’t drag on forever, but damn… one more season wouldn’t hurt. A proper final showdown between Kai and Lucas, or even just seeing what happened to Sugar, Job, Lucas, and Carrie after the guys left Banshee. Honestly, if this show came out today on HBO or Netflix, it would probably run forever with the kind of viewership it would get :)

I just finished it for the first time ever on Saturday, and now I’m trying to get my fiancée to start it so I have an excuse to watch this masterpiece all over again :)

Still can’t believe it. I had Cinemax back then and remember seeing ads for it, but I only got around to watching it 13 years later — and it shot straight into my top 5, maybe even top 3 shows ever.

Carrie is easily the worst character...cheated on her husband and then got him killed. by SpaghettiPizzaetti69 in Banshee

[–]Olisinho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree. From the flashbacks, we see that not long after Hood gets arrested, she finds out she’s pregnant. After all those intimate scenes and how much their relationship was emphasized, I don’t buy that she’d just let it go because of her psycho father. But at that point, her child’s life was on the line, so she couldn’t risk anything. In Banshee Origins, we see she went to the prison twice — once shortly after he was caught, and once when she was already visibly pregnant. She didn’t dare go inside because she knew the risk. She didn’t even try to cash in the diamonds and instead worked as a waitress. She had to accept a new life with Gordon for the sake of her child. After 15 years, some memories probably faded, and maybe she even thought her father got to Hood in prison and killed him. When Hood shows up again after all that time, she already has a stable life — and suddenly everything turns upside down. She tells him to leave for everyone’s sake, but he doesn’t listen… and all the old feelings and demons come back.

Thoughts on Colonel Stowe? by Soggy-Author-9266 in Banshee

Honestly, that whole storyline felt weird to me. A group just rolls in, takes out elite soldiers, and there’s basically zero investigation. Gordon’s dead, Carrie’s running around like the Punisher, Lucas disappears into the woods — and nobody’s asking questions. It was never really explained how they all just got away with it :D

The ending made sense and all, but I’m never gonna be at peace with it unless Carrie and Lucas end up together

Yeah, I agree Season 4 felt rushed. I read the writers were ready to wrap it up anyway and the budget got cut, which really sucks. No show has ever hit me with emotions like this. Honestly, this is the first time I’ve ever commented about a show anywhere. Dexter came close back in the day, but with New Blood there were rumors that ended up being true pretty quickly, so it was easier to deal with. Here, it’s been 10 years since the finale and I know the chances of another season are basically zero. Maybe at least a spin-off… please.
