Given all that, I still will watch second season, but from the first episode I am not sure if I will be this generous next review.
Lazy writing and too much unbelievableness. Pros: Interesting story, acting isn't too bad and the sex scenes are fairly good for a power fantasy.Ĭons: Constant use of attempted rape as an event. The problem is that its constant and is something the writers reach for every time they want a stressful event for a woman. They don't ever get away with it, the women (or someone else) usually stops it and gives the assaulters their just desserts. The most negative aspect is the constant attempted sexual assault on women. Oh, and the absolute worst was Ana trying to push away Hood constantly and being fairly horrible to him after he saved her daughter multiple times. Yes, they should eventually figure out you aren't who you say you are. No you aren't automatically a badass because you are a good prison fighter. Other than that, there are some bad ideas. Most male power fantasies never show positive sexual interactions for women, but this show does do that. I am surprised though, only one time did it show a woman trying to perform oral sex on the guy and he kind of pushes the woman away, then multiple times it showed a man going down on a woman. I do have to say with this being a Cinemax production that there is a lot of sex that goes with the violence (I think on per episode is the formula). The only break in the Bechdel test is Ana and her daughter talking, but not sure if that satisfies it for me enough. All three women characters (Rebecca, the Amish/bad girl, Ana the ex-girlfriend and Siobhan the deputy) revolve around Hood and I don't recall in the first season them talking to each other. The first season doesn't pass the Bechdel test easily. The main character "Hood" sleeps with almost everyone (spoiler alert, by season 2 it becomes all). The premise is an old one, but they have some twists in it I like (such as the characters Sugar and Job). With an Ukrainian mob boss coming after them. An ex-con who is a badass prison fighter takes the identity of a sheriff in order to put himself near his old girlfriend and get her to come back to him. Let's be honest, this show is a male power fantasy. I do like part of it, but it can be problematic in other areas so its hard to get a solid feeling. I honestly don't know where I stand on this show.
FINAL SCORE: 8.Edit note: Originally this was just for season 1, but season 2 is pretty much the same so I will use it for both. But the highlight of this episode was Nola and i’m really waiting for her next moves. And so GODDAMN HOT! Best of the episode:Ĭonclusion: season two started with a really good episode and introduced us a new character Jim Racine, who certainly will make lives of Hood and company even harder. Holy shit, this guy is really lucky with women, they are just come to him and all what needed from him, it’s acceptance…Ī truly wild woman. Wow! They just got out from shitstorm with feds and ukrainian mob, and almost on the next day they are robbing an armored truck that belongs to casino! This scene was pretty crazy and amazing, mostly because of this awesome moment.īut then it all goes wrong, when mysterious guard appears. Hood and friends barely getting out alive from this shootout (Sugar Bates to the rescue!) and when camera showing you the guard’s neck from behind, you realize it’s Nola (Oddete Annable)! I was waiting for her actions from the moment when she appeared in first season and i got nothing until now, but what i got, is completely met my expectations and even more! And that wasn’t the last appearance of Nola in this episode, because after all of this she came to the bar and simply fucked Hood. This guy will bring a lot of troubles for Hood and Carrie, because they are a “Little fish”. He’s just don’t give a fuck about anything, besides Mr. And because of that, almost all participants of season one finale massacre wins a “lottery ticket”, except Carrie. Rabbit, which he tracks the last 15 years (information from prequel comic Banshee: Origins) and now he want to use Hood and Carrie as a bait to lure Mr. Season 2 starts from arriving of special badass agent Jim Racine (played by Zeljko Ivanek) with official mission to clean a mess after events of the first season.
