Banshee is currently streaming in Australia on Foxtel Now and HBO Max, and in the US on YouTube TV and Spectrum On Demand, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. 4 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 1,413 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch Antony Starr work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. Start it on Foxtel Now whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Banshee earns its spot. At its heart, Banshee understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. Banshee is an American drama television series set in a small town in Pennsylvania Amish country and features an enigmatic ex-con posing as a murdered sheriff who imposes his own brand of justice while also cooking up plans that serve his own interests. The writing gets a boost from Antony Starr and Ivana Miličević, who sell every scene they're in. The series ran for 4 seasons (2013–2016), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Banshee passes that test consistently. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Banshee. Dope Thief is the obvious comparison, but Banshee earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Watch Antony Starr work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Banshee wrapped up in 2016, created by David Schickler and Jonathan Tropper — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
