BANSHEE
Cinemax, 10:00 p.m. ET
Still uneven and even more improbable, this new Cinemax series benefits from its Friday night time slot – there’s so little else on at this hour, for fans of scripted drama, it keeps lingering as another viewing possibility. Last week, the dramatic moments got a little better, though the action sequences remained choppy and a bit overdone. This week, an old foe returns to the town where an escaped convict has taken over as the sheriff, unbeknownst to almost everyone. As I said, improbable.
