Banshee - Small Town. Big Secrets. (2013) 

English Season 1 95%, Season 2 100% and Season 3 definitely 200%. Banshee is the king of action series, it has perfect characters, great one liners, lots of sex (there is not a woman in the series who doesn't get naked), perfect gore, solid fights, very good action, the emotions work too, because the characters die a lot. Best Characters: Hood is charismatic likable, confident, fearless, brave and solves everything his way. Job, even though he's a transvestite, he added incredible juice to the series, there wasn't a sentence where he didn't say motherfucker and always put a smile on my face. Proctor is a strange character, you don't know whether to root for him or hate him, he's versatile but decent as a mob boss. Rebecca is a dream woman, I'd invest 20 grand to fuck her, but in the third season she's become a typical and forceful bitch. Brock is a nice guy, he doesn't stand out too much from the show, but he's fair and a good cop. Sugar is also a very likable character, he doesn't talk too much, he doesn't show off too much in action, but I'd go for a beer with him. Bunker is a Nazi and the third season's reinforcement, he's a dude I enjoy. Chayton is the biggest badass of all badasses, ever, a cold-blooded Indian killer who has no mercy on anyone and you wish him dead. Lola's a right tough pussy, a little Michele Rodriguez. Gordon, Deva, Carrie, those three probably entertained me the least out of the series, I didn't grow fond of any of them. Rabbit is the weaker villain, I didn't enjoy him very much. Stow is the perfect bad guy, he deserves a series to himself, a tough and uncompromising soldier with incredible guts. Bottom line, it was a lovely two weeks. ()

Season 4 (2016) (S04) 

English A slight downward slope from the climactic third season. It felt like they skimped on the budget and the action series became more of a depressing and emotionally strained thriller, not that that's a bad thing, but the lack of violence, sex and fights is not a positive card to end one of the best series. I expected the finale to be uncompromising towards the characters, but in the end there weren't too many fallen bodies. 75% ()
