	Author	Review
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"It's all much better than it sounds, and more importantly, (...), is written better than you'd expect. Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"(...) 'Banshee' ends up being taut, entertaining and smart enough, and you won't completely turn your brain off"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"While it's emphatically not a great show, it is an overheated yet intriguing one, driven more by visuals than words--and if you don't mind that its gory action and soap-opera plots aren't yet matched by dialogue and performance, it's worth a look"	NEU
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"'Banshee' has elements of 'Justified', 'Big Love', Ball's 'True Blood' and, of course, the film 'Witness'. What it doesn't have, (...), is anything new to say, about small towns, power, corruption, fear, crime or love"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The show has some unorthodox elements, but feels fairly cliched in most of its beats, largely serving as an excuse for bouts of grisly violence and gratuitous sex"	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik Time	Banshee's' not a terrible show. At times it can be entertaining. But at best it's terribly, entertainingly superfluous"	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'Banshee' has the audacity to behave as though its bloody violence, implausible set-up and studied ugliness is somehow vanguard television. In fact, it's just more of the same"	NEU
