Done a number of reviews of individual episodes.
Have mentioned in the past that the writers seem to be constantly pushing themselves to show that they are the most innovative and aggressive writing/production team in the industry.
The amazing thing? They are succeeding.
A lot of great TV lately. In fact (said this in other reviews) TV overall is now much better than movies.
But to be the best, you need to set the tone and develop a signature feel.
Has Banshee done this? Yes they have:
* unique use of sound as a backdrop
* best use of flashbacks in the business
* unpredictable characters that you nonetheless care about
* explosive violence that catches the viewer offguard
* this series has killed off more beautiful female regulars than any other show I can think of
* determination to never present a boring episode
* characters aways evolving and changing
* unique use of camera angles and very distinctive editing, including heavy use of "match cuts"
Makes BREAKING BAD look like amateur hour.
