I should warn you, it is excessively violent and there's also a lot of sex. But it's a great mix of action and intrigue.
Definitely check out the pilot!
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

"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.

I am down with the sex and violence. I'll give it a look-see!

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.
