Die neue Cinemax-Serie von Alan Ball (TRUE BLOOD) hat vor einigen Tagen ihre Erstausstrahlung gehabt. Recht interessant macht die Serie auch das Amish-Setting, Antony Starr ist allerdings noch relativ blass und die Musik ist Mist, aber während die Kritiken bis jetzt sehr zwiespältig sind, macht's mir bis jetzt als eine Art pulpigeres JUSTIFIED doch relativ viel Spaß, mal sehen, wie sich das noch so entwickelt.Executive produced by Alan Ball, Greg Yaitanes, Peter Macdissi, Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler, the primetime action series stars Antony Starr as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee, Pa., where he continues his criminal activities, even as he's hunted by the shadowy gangsters he betrayed years earlier. The production was shot in and around Charlotte, NC. The series also stars Ivana Milicevic as Carrie Hopewell, Hood's former partner in crime, who now lives in Banshee under an assumed identity with her new family, who know nothing of her past; Ulrich Thomsen as Proctor, an intimidating, wealthy local businessman who believes he is above the law; Frankie Faison as Sugar Bates, a wise, powerful former boxer and ex-con who now owns the local watering hole; Rus Blackwell as Gulf War hero Gordon Hopewell, Banshee's district attorney, who is married to Carrie; Ryann Shane as Deva Hopewell, Carrie and Gordon's rebellious daughter; and Ben Cross as Mr. Rabbit, a ruthless Ukrainian gangster who has been hunting Lucas and Carrie, his former top thieves, for 15 years.
