Banshee Season 4 (To be Final Season/Series is Ending) :mjcry:

[No Sleep]

Nah after he said "goodbye Anna" she said "it's Carrie"

A full strength Smithers would've worked Hood. nikka fresh out tumbling down a hill in a car and not to mention that initial impact and still almost won

I tried to read his real name on that arrest report but couldn't make it out lol

Man, I don't know Chayton was lethal as hell and Hood work him and the MMA fighter. Smithers was that deal though.

God damn, this season was like eating a boloney sandwich.

Collider interview with the show runner

Collider: Knowing that this was the last season of the show, did you look back on previous seasons to find a way to tie everything together, or did you not approach it that way?

JONATHAN TROPPER: No, we didn’t look back, except to say that Season 3 had been the ultimate action season, so I didn’t want to spend Season 4 trying to top Season 3. Season 4 was more about hard, brutal moments and character moments. We’d already spent 30 episodes with these people, and now it was time to really see where this all unwinds. So, I think Season 4 is a more tense season, a more suspenseful season, and a more character-driven season. We certainly have some action sequences, but there’s less of a focus on building out those action sequences.

What made four seasons the right end point for this show, and what made eight episodes the right number for this season? Is that just what you needed to tell this particular story?

TROPPER: The fourth season being the last season was a combination of factors. I was always upset when shows I loved stuck around too long and starting generating extra plot. Once we ended Season 3 and Lucas Hood was basically no longer the sheriff, the premise of the show was about a fake sheriff, so going on for many more seasons, it would have been ridiculous for him to become the sheriff again. The town itself might have had plenty of stories to tell, but it felt like the story of Lucas Hood was coming to an end. All the pitches we came up with, for how to extend that, felt like, “Well, maybe that’s cool, but that’s a different show.” The move to Lucas’ post-sheriff life was the beginning of the end. It was the beginning of the conclusion, and trying to have a conclusion for two seasons, it felt like we would lose some of the immediacy of the storytelling. And ending with eight episodes was really a financial decision. We have a finite amount of money. To have done ten episodes at that budget, we would not have been able to deliver the action we wanted to deliver, and we wouldn’t have been able to deliver the depth of episodes that we’re accustomed to doing. So, we decided to do eight episodes and make them really rich.

I had my issues with the season overall, but that was a hell of a finale . I wasn't expecting the emotions to come out like that with all the flashbacks and goodbyes and seeing the cast/crew say goodbye after the episode ended . Everybody really got a proper sendoff and wrapped up everything well .

Enjoyed both of the brutal fight scenes with Hood vs Smithers and Kurt vs. Calvin. Hood with those nasty headbutts and Kurt with the sidewalk slam that would make Big Boss Man proud . Fitting that this was easily the best episode of the season and it had no serial killer nonsense.

It was the best action show on TV and really delivered a lot of memorable characters, unlike any others on TV. First Strike Back, now Banshee, having to say goodbye to all my Cinemax action piff

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Great finale. Mediocre season.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

it was a wild ride

 

[kingdarius]

ok season but the finale was amazing imo.....they gave everyone their just do and shine and surprisingly tied up everything pretty damn good....the action was dope (particular the nazi bros fight) and the emotional scenes hit me in my feels ....and real talk brehs i almost feel like a kewn feeling bad for calvin at the end. He was the most awful of human beings but when he screamed out to his brother and u realize he was put in that shyt by him i kinda felt bad. There was literally nothing else dude could do but kill him cuz he was gone beyond compare. I gotta cop the blu's cuz this is still an amazing show. Not on spartacus lvl because of the last season but pretty damn close

 

[jwinfield]

I didn't like it.

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

A coli exclusive show now finished

season as a whole was a letdown but they ended it right, always remember this show for the GOAT season 3.

Everyone now calling Smithers by his real name Burton , he had to wait till death to get that respect

Carrie fukked up Proctor's life for real at least he went out blazing

ex Nazi cop showed he had a wrestling background with all those moves

 

[theflyest]

Brock with the team

I think everyone here kind of knew Rebecca was too good for that serial killer to get the drop on her

"The fight" wasn't what it should have been.

The final episode was reflective how the entire season has been. At least we got 3 great seasons out of this show.

Surprised the praise the finale is getting on here considering how mediocre it was.

 

[Vintage Eclectic]

I think everyone (myself included) was expecting the final fight to he hood vs proctor or hood vs proc/burton. But then we have to remember the battle they had in season 3. Was it a great season? Not even close to the other 3 but they ended it well. Especially considering the limited amount of resources they had based on the interview above.

 

[analog]

I ain't with all that emo shyt so i didn't enjoy the finale as much as most of you.

So it's still fukk cinemax for cutting the budget and forcing the writers to turn the goat tv action series into this melodramatic mess.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Watching it now....... 37mins and 12 seconds in.... 3 so called loose end tied...... yall happy pussies?

Will post again after I finish the ep

 

[Jello Biafra]

The final episode was better than what this shytty final season gave us as a whole and it pisses me off that we basically got 5 minutes relating to Burton's betrayal of Proctor by killing Rebecca when that should have been a bigger deal.
And all of this bullshyt talk about the budget doesn't fly since I am sure Eliza dushku didn't come cheap and she was a totally unnecessary character.
Remove her and focus on the actual people who we have been watching for the past 3 seasons. I think we saw Sugar a total of 4 times in the entire final season.

I think it's because the season has been so below Banshee's average that we weren't expecting an episode this good. And good is relative to this season, not the entire series.
