Banshee (2013)
Absolutely Awful!
We watched this show after having withdrawals from 'The Following' and being told that this was of a similar standard.... How wrong can you be?! From the second it started, it went steadily downhill! We just couldn't take to the main character which was a major problem, plus the action scenes we're so unbelievable and unlikely that we struggled to finish the first episode.
We weren't really taken with the plot and none of the characters had any real screen presence which really doesn't make the viewer care enough to want to keep watching.
We usually give new show 2 episodes but I'm not sure we can bear to put ourselves through it with Banshee! Lots of better shows out there like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and Orphan Black. Avoid Banshee and try one of those instead!
My Mad Fat Diary (2013)
Addictive when you get going.....
Saw this advertised and watched the first episode but didn't really have an opinion either way. Anyway, after another weekend of awful weather and even worse TV, decided to give it a try.... What a surprise!! I watched episode 2 and instantly became hooked. I really enjoyed this show as it deals with mental illness from a different perspective and show the benefits of what counselling can do for some people. There were great story lines coupled with some outstanding performances from all characters, particularly Rae, Kester and Rae's mum. Hoping this has been commissioned for a second season as it's one of the best TV show I've watched in ages!! Season finale absolutely brilliant but make sure you have your tissues at the ready - it's a bit of a tearjerker.
