Discs in excellent condition. Banshee TV series season 1 on DVD. Created by Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler, who serve as executive producers along with Alan Ball, the show is set in a small town in Pennsylvania Amish country – and stars Kiwi actor Antony Starr (Outrageous Fortune) as an ex-convict who improbably becomes sheriff of a rural, Amish-area town, while also cooking up plans that serve his own interests… After completing his 15 year prison sentence, an ex-con (Starr) tracks down his former partner, now known as Carrie Hopewell (Ivana Milicevic), in Banshee County Pennsylvania who it turns out is now married to the local DA and has two children. He takes her at her word when she says she doesn't have any of the cash they stole. Later at a roadside bar, he meets the county's new Sheriff, Lucas Hood who has literally just arrived in town and has yet to meet anyone. When Hood is killed during an attempted robbery, the ex-con assumes his identity. Banshee is riddled by corruption, with an Amish overlord, Kai Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen), brutally building a local empire of drugs, gambling and graft. With the help of a boxer-turned-barkeeper named Sugar Bates (Frankie Faison), Lucas is able to stay on even footing with Kai and his thugs, and even manages to bring a measure of tough justice to Banshee. But eventually, Lucas’ appetite for pulling heists pulls him and Carrie into a dangerous cauldron of duplicity, exacerbated when Mr. Rabbit (Ben Cross), the NY mobster they once ripped off, closes in with vengeance on his mind.
