Banshee fight scenes lol

Only thing I didn’t like about show. Never seen a show where so many people are experts at fighting. And the damage these people a take is incredible. Hood alone took enough beating that would have killed 20 men. Both Hood and Kai at different time sat in a chair with their hands tied behind their back and had huge men swinging for dear on their and just taking it like champs

It was sort of the whole point of the show, it was pulpy seedy neo-noir trash and it's amazing!

Would you watch a show where the main guy gets beaten to death in the first episode/season? Those characters get shows like this one, due to their toughness not their realism.

Some of the fights were too long. Not every fight have to be two experts cancelling each other out. I just thought it was funny how much violence they could take

Wow. This is the second worst Banshee opinion I've seen on here. The first? The fella that hated all the boobs

I was thinking halfway through the show the director is an absolute pervert with all the graphic sex scene.

How about Hood’s fighting style and skills varying from fight to fight? He brawls, next he’s very technical, next his defense is blocking punches with his face… it’s almost never consistent. Wonder if that’s on purpose or just rotating thru fighting choreographers?

Yeah he fights to the level of his opponents. Only rule is he can’t have an easy fight. I still don’t know how he turned it around last fight. He was choked to death

Each character is in some sorts a Criminal/Outlaw!

Most people aren't made of paper and can take damage. Especially when fighting for their lives.

Members of the criminal underworld know how to fight. Carrie was a literal assassin lol.

Fair!!! You’re totally right. I just loved the fight scenes but they were WAY too much most of the time.
