"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So yes I watched Banshee during its run. I think the show ultimately fails the "does this show make sense?" test, but no matter. The show is super-intense (as Rayne said, very violent) and the sex often does not make sense.
I will watch Season 2 because of the WTF factor, but it is just entertainment for me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am down with the sex and violence. I'll give it a look-see!

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Those are two of the three reasons I've watched True Blood for years now! (Nelsan Ellis being the third.)

Since it's HBO, this would be the place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is anything right about The Newsroom?
