Why Fans of The Boys Need to Check Out This Under-Appreciated Series

While many viewers recently praised Antony Starr for his role in The Boys, he gave a similarly impressive performance years before in Banshee. Both shows aimed to be shocking and boundary-pushing. Starr was perfectly cast as Lucas Hood, a former criminal pretending to be a small-town sheriff. Lucas is a complex and unpredictable character who operates outside the law, but unlike Homelander, he’s ultimately a flawed hero. Though Homelander and Lucas Hood are very different, the roles share enough similarities that playing both presented a unique challenge for Starr.
