Banshee remains one of the most downright fun and entertaining shows on TV, and as a season opener there is not much more I could have asked for. And sure some of the dialogue was a bit on the nose and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the show’s love of strange shot compositions and jump cuts, but those are problems inherent to the series, not this episode. Particularly after the bloody wipe-out of characters that was the season two finale, an episode like this was necessary (although it still found time for a couple of killer action scenes). When Cinemax renewed Banshee for an eight-episode Season 4 - two episodes less than the usual 10 - fans wondered if it signaled the end. With Antony Starr, Ivana Milicevic, Ulrich Thomsen, Frankie Faison. Like most season openers, The Fire Trials was more about putting the pieces in place for the episodes ahead, rather than having any shocking developments of its own.

I’m fairly sure I saw a glimmer of unease when Proctor’s mother asked him about Rebecca, and that’s far from the only thing that makes me sure these two aren’t in for a smooth road.

It’s an unsettling development, but certainly not out of character for either party. The upcoming episode of 'Banshee' season 4 packs a ton of suspense. Unfortunately we only got a couple of brief glimpses of Proctor this week, but what we saw was enough to get an audible reaction from me. Both are damaged, dangerous men who are haunted by their pasts and yet have managed to forge new lives for themselves the problem is that those respective lives will seemingly always put them at odds.

And sure, characters like Job and Chayton are part and parcel with the heightened nature of the universe, but in Kai Proctor and Lucas Hood the series has an endlessly riveting central rivalry. Maybe what makes Banshee work so well is watching the surprisingly nuanced characters navigate an otherwise insane world. Officer Hood, Carrie, Proctor, and the gang all return for a climactic, all or nothing run.
New this season, Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse) hits the scene and the hunt for Jobe ensues from S3 cliffhanger finale. It is almost exhilarating how thoroughly Banshee embraces its own ridiculousness, while still maintaining consistent and likeable characters who are worth caring about. A New Challenge for Banshee PAs Crew of misfits as season 4 opens to heightened problems needing to be fixed on both sides of the Law. This concept alone is so typically Banshee ludicrous but a promising open door to more mayhem, especially as it seems that the reserve will be going head to head with the Indians, now led by the imposing Chayton Littlestone.
