Banshee tv series episode 1 full#

In an opening episode script stuffed full of great lines, itвЂ™s here weвЂ™re treated to our first one as a disgruntled Hopewell asks Proctor if that is вЂњa judge in your pocket or are you just happy to see meвЂќ.Д¬reators David Schickler and Jonathan Tropper have constructed an inaugural script that is rich on quotable dialogue. Town DA Gordon Hopewell and young Mayor Dan Kendell are on the losing end of a verdict against Kai Proctor, BansheeвЂ™s Mr. A Banshee courthouse scene sees the audience begin to meet a few of the showвЂ™s plentiful cast members.

Much of this opening episode is given over to character introduction. Much like True Blood, the themes of Banshee are set out in a series of images incorporating sex, death and the Amish background of its Pennsylvania location. When the titles do roll weвЂ™re treated to a typical Alan Ball-inspired sequence. You suspect that this is going to be a show which will not do subtle. Bullets fly, thereвЂ™s a spectacular NYC open top, tour bus crash before our man escapes via motorbike to the town of Banshee.Д«anshee hasnвЂ™t even reached its opening credits and itвЂ™s already crammed in sex, robbery, blackmail, a car chase and mass destruction. No sooner has our anti-hero walked out the door than heвЂ™s caught up in a vehicular chase through the streets of New York City with two suited individuals. After a spot of lunch where he leaves the waitress with a very generous tip of a non-money variety, he indulges in a spot of grand theft auto before heading to a hairdressers/underground lair where he threatens to smash everything up until a man known as Job gives up the location of the person heвЂ™s looking for.
