Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball produces the Cinemax TV show Banshee, which was created by first-timers David Schickler and Jonathan Tropper.
The crime series stars Anthony Starr (TV’s Lowdown) as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who assumes the identity of the murdered sheriff of Banshee, a rural, Amish-area town.
He’s also looking for Carrie Hopewell (Ivana Milicevic, What’s Your Number?), who he last saw 15 years ago when he gave himself up to police after a jewelry heist to save her. Living under an assumed name now, Carrie is married to the local DA with two children, and desperately trying to keep her past a secret.
Complicating matters is Banshee’s corruption, with an Amish overlord (Ulrich Thomsen, The Thing), who’s building an empire of drugs and gambling.
The series got mixed reviews, called “ultraviolent, over-the-top and wickedly fun” by Entertainment Weekly‘s Rob Brunner, but “a mangy mutt of a TV show” by TV Guide‘s Matt Roush.
The Banshee: The Complete First Season DVD and Blu-ray sets come with these special features:
- “NYC Bus Crash”
- “Inside the Title Sequence”
- “Town of Secrets”
- “Banshee Origins”
- “Zooming In: Episodes 7 & 8”

The Blu-ray adds digital copy and instant streaming through UltraViolet, redeemable through Aug. 7, 2016.
