Finding a new TV show to watch can be a lengthy process, but a recent Reddit thread has delivered a recommendation that has left viewers 'hooked'. The user asked for a series with 'suspense and plot twists', similar to Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, or Dexter. Among the suggestions, one show stood out: Banshee, available on NOW.
Banshee is an American action crime thriller series created by Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler. It follows a man released from prison after serving 15 years for stealing $15 million in diamonds for a Ukrainian mob boss. He flees to the small fictional town of Banshee, Pennsylvania, and assumes the identity of the murdered sheriff, Lucas Hood, using his new position to hide from the mob boss while continuing his criminal activities.
The series aired from 2013 to 2016 and holds an 8.4 out of 10 rating on IMDb. Reviewers praise it for its action-packed scenes, intense violence, strong performances, and engaging storylines. While some call it 'utterly ridiculous', others describe it as their 'favourite guilty pleasure'. Reddit users echoed this sentiment, with one writing: 'I can vouch for Banshee... I got hooked. Give it a couple episodes if you aren't feeling it right away.'
To watch all episodes of Banshee, head to NOW, where it can be streamed for free with a subscription. Alternatively, each season costs around £18 to buy on Amazon Prime.
