Cinemax's New Series Has Balls

Banshee Review: Cinemax's New Series Has Ball's

Watch The Hobbit Online. You’d like to think Moore will eventually get to the point where she stops attending so many parties and tries to connect with someone her own age who has a lot in common, but as the years go by, that’s looking more and more unlikely. It seems like she’s going to stumble into a relationship with a much younger playboy. Ever since the announcement was made that Beyonce, in partnership with HBO, was putting together a documentary following her home life and career, the subscription cable network has been good about getting potential footage out there for fans to take a sneak peek.

Watch Breaking Dawn Part 2 Online. Banshee is by no means Alan Ball's singular vision, the series was created (and is mostly written) by newcomers Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler, but the pilot does carry a stamp undeniably similar to shows that also bear the Executive Producer's name. Ball is famous for exploring the darker side of the American psyche with a large helping of humor, sex and violence and Banshee's pilot follows suit (not badly tailored) delivering a thoroughly enjoyable entrance into the series. The freshman show falls somewhere between Ball's excellent but perhaps more, uh, stiff Six Feet Under and the increasingly soap-opera, supernatural fun True Blood.

Watch Breaking Dawn Part 2 Online. Banshee's pilot doesn't contain any outright supernatural elements but it does have a similar atmosphere, tone and world building as the first season of the his southern gothic vampire series. By the way, that's best one. Set in Banshee, Pennsylvania (hence the title, well, more on that later), the series follows accomplished criminal and renown thief who decides to steal a sheriff's identity just after his release from prison. Steal is a strong word but I don't want to ruin how the old switcheroo comes to pass (whoa violence!) but this ruse not only helps Anthony Starr's protagonist to seek out his former lovers, crime.

Of course, this means that the crook(er) turned copper with a heart of gold also finds himself facing off with the local crime lord. It's like Walking Tall and A History of Violence rolled into one which not only allows for a lot of action but also, structurally, two solid foundations to build the rest Banshee on going forward. The pilot opens with a lot of energy and effortless cool as our mysterious and ruggedly handsome anti-hero leaves his harsh prison life behind and begins living his free life.

Watch The Hobbit Online. Well, someone else's life. Starr's real name might remain a secret but the dialogue-free introduction still told us everything we need to know about his grey knight character. By no means an angel, having a quick shag and boosting another car, however, like many noir protagonists, the man soon to be known as Lucas Hood clearly has a code. He's a shady guy who lives in an even shadier world. And one of the main strengths of the pilot, directed by Greg Yaitanes (LOST), is the way the writers managed to craft (the contrasting) world(s) of Banshee (and the big city ) and introduce all of the many, many characters without too much exposition.

The material wasn't bad, it's just that so much time was devoted to 'Lucas Hood' that not many or the many supporting roles felt particularly memorable. Homeland will resume for Season 3 in the fall, as expected and will be teamed up with new series Masters of Sex. With that in mind, it sounds like Showtime's shuffling things around to pair new shows with established shows. Of the two returning series, Dexter's much more likely to be nearing its end, which might have made it a better candidate to be moved from fall to summer than Homeland, which has a better chance of building its audience.

Watch Django Unchained Online. Just a bit of speculation there. As a Dexter fan - and one of many, I'm sure -who's anxiously waiting for Season 8 to get going, I'll hardly complain about the series being moved up a few months. The Vampire Diaries, with its supernatural bent, has become one of the CW’s most popular series. Realizing this, it should really be no surprise that the network would want to pursue a spin-off series, featuring some of The Vampire Diaries cast members and an 'original' vampire clan. Called The Originals, the new program will follow The Vampire Diaries’ Klaus, played by Joseph Morgan. If you’ve ever caught the CW’s vampire-oriented program, you may already know that Klaus hails from New Orleans, Louisiana, where an 'original' clan of vampires still resides. According to Deadline, when Klaus returns to the French Quarter in New Orleans, he will run into a vampire named Marcel, whom he formerly taught, but has now taken on an evil attitude. The Vampire Diaries’ Julie Plec will executive produce and write the pilot.

You’d like to think Moore will eventually get to the point where she stops attending so many parties and tries to connect with someone her own age who has a lot in common, but as the years go by, that’s looking more and more unlikely. It seems like she’s going to stumble into a relationship with a much younger playboy. Ever since the announcement was made that Beyonce, in partnership with HBO, was putting together a documentary following her home life and career, the subscription cable network has been good about getting potential footage out there for fans to take a sneak peek. So far, we’ve seen a lot of footage resembling home movies, which is consistent with the way Beyonce has been directing her own documentary. Now, HBO has the newest teaser available for the endeavor, which seems to be rolling with the title (or the tagline) Life Is But A Dream. Deadline is also noting that Phoebe Tonkin will take a lead role in the new series, playing the werewolf character she has played during episodes of The Vampire Diaries, so the new program should be fully inhabiting the world already established in The CW’s currently running program. The CW is smartly going to introduce The Originals in a backdoor pilot during an episode of The Vampire Diaries to see if the series is well-received by viewers and critics. The characters in The Originals will be introduced during the April 25 episode of The Vampire Diaries, so if you have any interest in the potential series, the backdoor pilot would be a good time to tune in.
