TV Series: Banshee Season 2

The second season of "Banshee" begins with a shock. In the last episode of the first season it looked like Mr. Rabbit was killed. Now we see that he's still alive. He crawled into the woods, badly injured, and now he's on the path to recovery. He doesn't need to be in best health to be a threat. He has enough assassins on his payroll to pose a threat.

Rebecca is becoming adjusted to her new life, living with her uncle Kai. He wants to take her into the family business. He lets her witness how he blows up the Kinaho Casino. He teaches her how to shoot. He has dozens of men who can do things like that for him, but he thinks that he can't trust anyone as much as his own family.

She's a natural! She hits most of the targets on her first attempt.

Kai Proctor might be surrounded by bodyguards, but he doesn't take any risks. He keeps himself fit by practising Wing Chun.

There are no fancy fighting styles for Lucas Hood. He uses his fists to take out criminals, so a good old fashioned punching bag is enough for him.

Nola is the sister of the new Indian chief, Alex Longshadow.She left the Kinaho tribe years ago and didn't return until her father died. She's an expert in fighting with or without weapons, and she's more than a match for any men around her. She's a mystery, and the series still hasn't given any clues to her background.

The series has a unique narrative style, something I've never seen in any other films or television series. It's difficult to explain, except by using an example. Lucas and Anna are standing by a burning house, talking about their next plans. Then we see them a few minutes later driving away. Then we see them talking by the house again. Then we see them driving away again. Then we see them by the house again, etc. The series alternates between the two scenes five or six times. This is done repeatedly in every episode. It's never done with something that happens the next day or a few hours later. It's always something that's done a few minutes later.

The second season shows us more of the Amish culture. This is a church service. Note that the men and the women sit on opposite sides. That seems terribly repressive.

But the women prepare cake outside the church. It looks delicious! That's something I could get used to.

Kai Proctor may have given up his faith, but he rushes back to his people every time they're in trouble.

The police have to visit the Kinaho reservation to investigate the murder of a young Indian girl. Is this a typical Indian reservation? It looks like a mixture of a slum and a gypsy camp. Everyone is living in trailers. If this really is how Indians are forced to live, it's disgraceful.

I've only watched the first half of the second season so far, and it gets more exciting all the time. "Banshee" is an underrated series.
