Most will be missed dearly by me, but these 10 will hurt the most. A recently paroled master thief assumes the identity of Sheriff Lucas Hood in Banshee, Pa., where his former lover and partner in crime relocated years ago and reinvented herself as Carrie Hopewell, the wife of the towns prosecutor. 'Banshee' was a hell of a ride, with a great many brilliant characters. So that's my list of fave 'Banshee' peeps. As was Calvin Bunker, but I'm super-glad he got his just desserts. Chayton Littlestone was also a brilliant nemesis. At least you had the decency to be upset about it though. You got props for saving my precious murder bean, but I revoked those props when you killed him. Kai Proctor also deserves mention as an awesome character, but sorry dude you made me super-angry sometimes. I like Carrie, but never really gots teh feels too much for her. Obviously Carrie Hopewell gets an honourable mention. But perhaps specifically, of course the epic and spectacular 'A Fixer Of Sorts' showdown with Nola, the brutal Nazi slaughter of 'Truths Other Than The Ones You Tell Yourself' and the delightfully creepy ice cream eating in 'Innocent Might Be A Bit Of A Stretch'. What a horrible, horrible mess.īurton highlights include ALL THE BURTON.
Burton's death was devastating from the brutality of the fight with Hood to the emotionally brutal confession to Proctor. Yes, it was revealed that that pathological loyalty led Burton to kill Rebecca to protect his boss, but I think that could have been explored further if they had had another episode or two up their sleeve.
I would love to have seen more exploration of Burton's character, not just in terms of his past (but seriously TELL ME), but his ongoing loyalty to Proctor. pathologically and brutally loyal to Proctor, even if he doesn't agree with Proctor's decisions (like bringing Rebecca on board). Whatever the true nature of Burton's past sufferings (why was he in that basement? Who was torturing him? TELL ME, BANSHEE! TELLLL MEEEEEE!!!!!), he seemed to have channelled his rage into re-paying Proctor for the kindness he showed him in that mystery basement. He at first seemed to be just a brutal guard dog to Proctor (an assumption ol' Nola paid the price for.), but as the seasons have progressed we have had a peek into his complicated past (tortured, in a basement) and peeks into his contribution to Proctor's business (accounting, personnel advice.). While my top 4 characters in this list are actually pretty much on the same level, I will confess Burton has been my numero uno since day one.
Precious Adorable Murder Bean Clay Burton I will miss all of Hood (or whatever his real name is) very dearly.ġ. But I also loved his vulnerable moments, like his response to Siobhan's death and Job's kidnapping, as well as his intense conversation with Brock Lotus in 'Truths Other Than The Ones You Tell Yourself' and his final goodbye to Carrie in 'Requiem'. Highlights include the events of 'Meet The New Boss', his brutal slaughter of The Albino, and the rollercoaster that was 'A Fixer Of Sorts'. I've loved every minute of Hood, even if he has made some frustrating decisions (particularly involving his penis.). And way smarter than your average brutal crook. Hood is extremely complex and Starr has really come into his own through this show.
#BANSHEE TV SHOW CAST NOLA SERIES#
Antony Starr is a New Zealand boy, so I'm pretty proud of the character and series he has helped create here. never mind won't finish that thought moving on. You've made me laugh you've made me cry you've made me. A party thrown by Proctor for the new sheriff is spoiled by a crasher-a member of the redneck Moody clan who despise Amish people in general and Kai in particular.Ah, "Hood". Rabbit, the New York-based mob boss who wants revenge against Lucas and Carrie for the jewel heist that landed Lucas in prison. Itching for the thrill of thievery and yearning for Carrie, who is now the wife of attorney Gordon Hopewell and mother of two, Lucas inadvertently gets tangled up in the rampant corruption of shunned Amish gangster Kai Proctor, while keeping a vigilant eye out for Mr. Keeping his history a secret as he awaits forged papers, Lucas befriends boxer-turned-bartender Sugar Bates, and settles into his new life as Banshee's sheriff. In a bizarre twist of fate, a recently paroled master thief assumes the identity of Lucas Hood, sheriff-in-waiting of Banshee, PA-the same town where his former partner and lover, who changed her name to Carrie, relocated and remarried years ago.
