I just marathoned this show in the span of about a week and a half. It's kind of ruined other shows for me. No one ever gets their throat ripped out or gets decapitated by a semi on Luther, what's even the point of it

Yeah, the little bit of shading they've given to Chayton through Aimee and Nola has been surprisingly effective. Banshee doesn't do a lot of character development, but what they do is usually pretty good.

And Proctor is the greatest TV antagonist since Al Swedgin. Can't wait to see his escape from the Cadi from his perspective.

Is this just like "ok this happened offscreen and is demonstrated by reactions attitudes and dialog" or is it the in your face lets spend 5 very disturbing minutes on a sexual assault?
There's one fairly disturbing sexual assault in episode 3, but I can't think of another one. It's disturbing but not especially graphic; nothing, including episode 3, is going to go all Irreversible on you or anything. Other than that, there's a lot of veiled sexual threats but nothing I can remember that's incredibly overt.

That said, your entire post makes me think this is not the show for you.

But yeah, Banshee is a show that's all about over-the-top indulgence. The sex is over the top, the violence is over the top, the characters are over the top. By all means, give it a try if you're curious, but there's a nonzero chance you'll find it too trashy (for want of a better word) for your tastes.
Couldn't have said (and in fact, didn't say) it better myself. Show owns bones, but it's not for everyone

Haha yeah, was just about to mention this. For those interested here is a season 3 preview with him speaking naturally. Geno Segars (Chayton) sounds pretty much the same but it's weird seeing him without his tats and in a ball cap.

They're planning for 5 seasons. Also, apparently next season is "giant-sized;" which could possibly mean 90-minute episodes (and an 8-episode season with 90-minute episodes works out to longer than a 10-episode hour-long season).

Stowe juggernauting his way into the truck and beating all of their asses was incredible. They made him look as scary as Chayton in the span of like one minute.

Considering he was sitting in the vault with no sign of wounds I'm assuming they were riot rounds. They wanted to rob the place, not murder everyone on the base right?

I'm not sure to interpret that as him being castrated or him having a micropenis, actually. Rebecca's reaction seemed to be more surprise and amusement than, y'know, "HOLY poo poo YOU DON'T HAVE GENITALS. :stonk:"

Honestly, on first watch I thought he was just :flaccid:, but on rewatch she seems kind of horrified. IDK what's going on down there but it ain't good

Plus, I mean, who really likes her character anyway? Yeah she's badass but inconsistent, and another thing I've noticed (that in my weird mind supports my above theory) is that she hasn't really been a big player this season other than to date Stowe in the beginning of the season and then help steal all his money.

It seems to me like they are phasing her out in preparation to kill her off.
I still like her but yeah, it seems like the show doesn't really know what to do with her and her storyline's just drifting. It'd still be a pretty huge move to kill her off.

I do like that they change up the intro credits once in a while. Colonel Stowe playing with his ring and it keeps getting bloodier and bloodier till it popped his finger off.
I usually rewatch them a few times before I continue with the episode to figure out what they're hinting at. They telegraphed Gordon's death in Carrie's (and sort of Gordon's) intro this week.

Gordon saving hood from the rooftop and then staring disdainfully down at him owned. Gordon owned. Mayor of Banshee is a lovely post to fill

All of this becoming a virgin mary statuette, as Kai repairs his relationship with his family

The intro is just goddamn amazing and if you aren't watching it, in full, with attention, every episode you're missing out.
And then after all that, it ended up in the trash.

Last week Gordon's picture reappeared in Carrie's intro polaroid because they were reconciling, and then it flickered out of existence this week :rip: Also Gordon's picture is usually (edit: going back I guess it's not, actually) an inoperable gun, but it was put together this week with the Marine's Hymn written on it.

The effort and attention they put into telling a story and foreshadowing events through gradual changes is pretty amazing. I could sperg over the credits for pages. I won't though, I promise.
