Hanna is a more fleshed out and evocative retelling of the 2011 film of the same name. Farr, now able to tell his story via a series, takes the time to give us a deeper understanding of these characters and the complicated web that pulls them together. Esme Creed-Miles and Mireille Enos are the absolute standouts on the show. Their chemistry on screen is one of the more powerful mother-daughter realtionships portrayed on screen. At first antagonistic and with many a fraught silence; and then, evolving into something more. Their acting chops cannot be denied. Joel Kinnaman also holds his own with these high caliber actors.
The show consists of three acts representative of Hana's growth. Season 1 represents Hanna's childhood, her adolescence in season 2, and finally coming into her adulthood in the final season. There is plenty of exciting and well choreographed fight scenes, political intrigue, and the more rare silent moments that viewers will appreciate with their desire to connect with Hanna all the more. The pacing can be a bit lackluster towards the middle of a season, but the six episode 3rd season was a powerhouse finale that never misses a beat. Overall, it's a fantastic series and one of my favorites to date.
The first episode ends with Hanna forcibly heading out into the wider world, albeit not in the way you might predict. After seeing brief flashes of her in action on her home turf – fast, efficient, crafty – the prospect of Hanna operating in a modern urban environment is tantalising enough to tune in for the full season.
Much like Season 1, the new episodes of “Hanna” open promisingly and close with a bang. As seen in other streaming series, it’s the slack in the middle that frustrates.
The season’s conclusion asks as many questions as it answers, appearing to exist only so that Hanna may sustain itself, offering more henchman bones for Hanna to snap without wondering whether the character should, or even wants to, keep snapping them.
Just binge watched this over a few days. Loved it. The character is fascinating and her situation is engrossing. The show has a lot of action and a lot of character development. Thematically, it explores redemption, coming of age, appreciating the beauty of nature, and the questions about whether a person can really change. Two thumbs up. Hope they make another season!!
First season was very cool. Mireille Inos is amazing as well as Joel Kinnaman. But second season is a trash..... The black girl is acting absolutely horrible. Dialogues are stupid and useless
Wird niemals an Wer ist Hanna 2011 rankommen. Dieser Film ist viel zu schwach. Kaum Kämpfe (Action), wenig Spannung, die Schauspielerin ist nicht so gut wie Saoirse Ronan. Sie verkörpert ihre Rolle perfekt. 2/10 *
What started out as a pretty decent series, pretty soon to verges into a teeny bopper teenage soap opera. Way too much time spent on Hanna's exploration into her teenage exploration, and not enough on The adventure of the original series. Ed in a bunch of politically correct silliness, and you've got a pretty dull series.
