Here's what these bastards did to me. I'm getting Comcast, and a few weeks ago, they let me tune in "Banshee", a serial thriller with a genius plot setup -- for free.
So I did watch. The first 3 episodes. Then I got shut off, having to subscribe to see any more. Nasty attitude on their part, but I was already into this thing because its that good and twisted, so I subscribed.
What followed over the past 2 weeks was more tv watching than a brain can withstand, but I have now seen 3 seasons' worth of episodes from start to finish, ten episodes per season. This is some of the best story twisting I've seen on a serial series.
I bring all this up because they are about to launch into a 4th and final season, displaying info that as of April 1st, season 3 may not be available for retro viewing. Bring aspirin and begin watching if you want to see all of the sequential action. Start now.

I finished the first season. It was ok, not great. No desire to pay for the next season.

New bad guys continually line up for gruesome butt kicking, but there is progression in the story if you decide to stick it out.

I'm in the middle of episode 7. I understand what you mean.

Mucho potential.
And pilots generally are lacking.
Not going to binge, but not going to linger either.
Thanks!

...a friend at the gym turned me on to it a few years ago.
I watched a few episodes but I ended up feeling like I needed to take a shower.
Particularly after the young Amish girl showed her wild side.
Looking for a chisel. A strength of this series is its ability to maintain this level of tension so consistently across thirty episodes. Just amazing. They continually skate from one holocaust to another, keeping the ruse going. And the angst of the 3-way love affair is so thick it can't be cut with a jackhammer. Truly an incredible heartbreak to endure -- after 15 years of prison. The back story is genius.
But it is porn of several varieties. Interviews with the producers indicate that a comic book reality is a model they use. And by comics, I don't think Daffy Duck is one of the references.
...the discussion at the gym was which show had the hottest naked babe.
My vote was for Morena Baccarin from the first year of Homeland.
My friend liked the Amish girl on Banshee.
You're right, it's a brilliant setup for a show.
And they squander it.
It's just violence porn. And porn, porn. I feel sorry for the actress's in this show. They just wanted a job and look at what they had to do to get it.

Asses bouncing up and down all the time.
Women masturbating in the bathtub.
Hey, I like nudity as much as the next guy but this gets ridiculous.
