Love the show, but I purchased the second season on play and it won't play all the way through!!! Also, it works just fine with other shows so I'm not sure why it won't work with banshee. It's really frustrating because I paid for the full season and I have to check the time, fast forward to where I was and in four minutes, do it again.

The show is great.....but this is a Google issue. The season/series has concluded. It is listed for sale. I purchase it for some inflight entertainmemt and the only item available is the season 4 teaser....Nowhere does it say this is an advance purchase or when the episodes will actually be released...Way to go Google.

Once you get past the far fetchedness of what these characters actually get away with on in this show, it becomes pretty addictive! Definitely original and well acted.
