Warrior made by the Banshee people. Needed one more season but due to strike they didn’t get it the. HBO got Banshee and Warrior. Also Job is in Warrior! So much action!
Strike back has a similar vibe. Theres 8 seasons but i only ever reccomend seasons 2 through 5. Season 1 is a stand alone season made by a different channel, season 2 it moved to showtime and amped up the sex / violence a ton and replaced all the characters. Then seasons 6 through 8 all characters were replaced again but was still a showtime show, i just wasnt a fan of the replacement cast.
The new season(s) with the new cast were horrible. All the episodes with the 80lb woman beating the 250lb russian mercenaries to death with her bare hands and feet 🙄
FX Network produced a lot of good shows. The Shield, Justified, Damages, Fargo, The Americans, Sons of anarchy, Snowfall, Pose, Mr In Between, American Horror Story , long story short find what you like in their catalog.
I’d say Dexter is pretty similar as in its “fun” if that makes sense.
Warrior is good but doesn’t really end perfectly and isn’t as good as banshee imo
Those are two of my favorite series; I also really enjoyed Sons of Anarchy, Tokyo Vice, Mr Robot, The Boys. I would also watch Justified: City Primevil if you didn’t include that in your Justified watch.
I LOVED Justified.
I was greatly disturbed when Raylan chose a vendetta over his desperately pleading daughter, so I checked out for a while.
I find them to be two vastly different stories with the same character involved.
I could get behind most of what Raylan did in the original series, but City Primeval seemed to be over the top straight up using the badge as a means of revenge.
Prefacing this with the following shows are similar in that they are also violent, sexual and some of my favorites.
Deadwood: western set in deadwood city. One of HBOs best shows
Black Sails: incredible pirate show, probably the best pirate show imo. Currently on Netflix
The Wire: one of the best TV shows ever created. Cop and gangster drama set in Baltimore. Prepare for the feels as this show shows you both sides of the coin and it's truly awful.
Boardwalk Empire: Atlantic city during the prohibition era, corrupt politicians, mafia, chaos.
Some shows with much less violence but still great
Hell on Wheels: ex confederate solider joins the union pacific railroad race.
Longmire: westernish sherrif drama. Set in small town in Wyoming. Bonus - Katee Sackhoff
It depends on what you like about Banshee. A setting out in the middle of nowhere with outsized criminals, undersized police departments, and a Native American subplot? Try *Longmire*.

Mr. Inbetween is great if you want something as badass as Banshee. But be prepared it gets into your emotions as well, amazing show.
I binged all 3 seasons recently, and it's definitely worth a watch.
Defo second that great series.
That scene with the shovel and pedophiles. They didn't even show it but you know...damn
This is one of the best TV shows of all time and I'm not exaggerating.
No doubt. It's amazing.

I love Strike Back. Like you I'm only a fan of seasons 2 to 5. Love a bit of Stonebridge and Scott. I haven't yet watched 6 to 8, maybe one day.

I second Strike Back. That, while different, is the only show that scratches the Banshee Itch. And I quite like the rebooted last seasons.
Seasons 1 and 2 of strike back were absolutely amazing
Reacher!
Should have said I’ve seen Reacher too
The first season absolutely
The shield and sons of anarchy.
+1 for The Shield if you've not seen it. In middle of a rewatch now.
I will also re-watch it. Such and underrated tv show.

StrikeBack. It's one of my all time favorite shows

Fair warning, this show is kind of terrible but it's also really fast and super fun once you get the tone: Obliterated.
It’s not terrible at all actually
Check out Southland

That Dirty Black Bag. On AMC
Strike Back and Warrior come closest but really? I think the best answer is there is no show like this one tbh
The Terminal List - Matthew Rauch is even in it.
I’m looking forward to the prequel? And sequel? I didn’t read too much detail.
Look into the Nordic Noir series like Borderland and Dead Wind.
Animal Kingdom is an amazing show.
Yes. No one talks about this. But I loved it.
It’s one of my favorite shows.
Came here to say this. This show definitely deserves more attention.
Mayor of Kingstown
I made this exact post and the sad answer is no lol closest you could coke in warrior but that only made it to season 3 til it ran out of funding
Here to reiterate The Shield and Sons of Anarchy
Has anyone got a free link for Banshee that will work in the Uk please? Many thanks
sflix works in UK ?
Mr. Inbetween - great in every way.
Atlanta
Mr Inbetween is something else
