The more Farr's series diverges from the original, the more it emerges as its own, distinct work.
At its tautest, Hanna doesn’t so much grip you as sit figuratively on your chest, forcing all the breath out.

In equal parts high-concept thriller and coming-of-age drama, HANNA follows the journey of an extraordinary young girl raised in the forest, as she evades the relentless pursuit of an off-book CIA agent and tries to unearth the truth behind who she is. Esme Creed-Miles does Hanna like she was born for it. Love the directing by Sarah Adina Smith. The rare intelligent action thriller that subverts storytelling tropes and surfs on its own ingenuity. Hanna adds new wrinkles to the mythology and texture to the titular assassin. Amazon Gets it Right. Hanna has lots of twists and turns and fine performances from all three of its leads. Well worth a binge.

SEASON 1
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.
For all of its various attempts to balance Eastern European espionage, half-hearted explorations of parenting and femininity, a youth drama, a father-daughter story, a pulse-pounding conspiracy thriller, a character study (though kudos to Mireille Enos for what she does with her Marissa) and the kind of pulp pleasure where a young girl can gun down an army without blinking, it never really finds a groove to settle into.
In the scenes when all three are engaged, stalking through European cities, joyriding helicopters, and shooting out genteel outdoor cafés, Hanna feels explosively good, the rare intelligent action thriller that subverts storytelling tropes and surfs on its own ingenuity. In other scenes, that ingenuity gets lost in a mood board of decorative visuals (light dappling through fabric, leaves dancing in the wind) that bloats the series’ running time and hobbles its pace, especially given that the central mystery is easy to decipher.
Somewhere in the attempt to turn this story into a series, it feels like Hanna forgot to stop and be curious in between ass-kickings.
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.
Seat of your pants thriller with lots of well choreographed fights and gun battles. Better than the movie, because you get to know Hanna better in a series.

SEASON 1
Hannah season 1 was captivating. I loved everything about this TV show. It was shot well, the scenery and locations were amazing. Finally something different than USA. Europe is also beautiful and worth exploring. The screen filter was not the typical one you see for European locations. Unlike other productions shot with this grainy, darker filter, making you thing that streets of Europe are polluted, dirty , always dark locations - here everything has natural feel to it. Forests, cities are full of charm which is even more striking during spectacular action sequences. The story will take you all over Europe. You will be following steps of Hannah, a fugitive teenager chased by CIA. All the dark secrets are waiting for you to explore them. Awesome. All of the actors did a really good job. Joel Kinneman and Mirelle Enos playing Marrisa Wiegler are spectacular. There are no good/evil characters here which I really like about the show. Hannah did a great job too. She behaved exactly like a person would in her situation. Music was stellar. I think that amazon has a winner here. Marissa Wiegler smile again for me, you have this fake smile. Yes !

SEASON 1
I wish it was it bit more "high-concept thriller" and a little less "coming-of-age drama" (imdb), but there are some moments and performances worth watching for. Mirelle Enos is damned interesting in her role as the baddie. Joel Kinnaman is as likable as he is in anything else he's done, but the character isn't particularly interesting. The young woman who plays Hanna is at her best when she's in Bourne mode rather than the fish out of water waif dealing with her desires to be a normal teenage girl in the 'real world'.

SEASON 1
Le film était calamiteux malgré (et à cause) de la jolie petite blonde... laquelle était vraiment très fade et trop peu crédible en machine de combat génétiquement modifiée à l'insu de son plein gré. Mais le film souffrait de nombreux problèmes par ailleurs, ce qui en faisait un navet accompli.
La série a évidemment plus de temps pour développer son intrigue et ses personnages, lesquels sont ici souvent fort bien servis par des acteurs et des actrices convaincants et convaincantes au rang desquelles la petite brune Hanna aux yeux bleu-gris dégage un caractère à la fois touchant et énigmatique.
Ce mélange de Hitman 47 et de Nikita parvient ainsi à faire illusion quelques épisodes, puis s'effondre assez lamentablement... Le scénario est en effet plein de trous et de raccourcis... et si on est prêt à passer éventuellement l'éponge, on est pas prêt à pardonner la niaiserie qui s'invite de plus en plus souvent et maladroitement de surcroît... ni le manque de rythme qui rend la série de plus en plus lénifiante.
Comment ont-ils fait leur compte pourtant, avec seulement 8 épisodes à la clé ? ils doivent vraiment être incroyablement mauvais pour boulotter des trucs aussi emmerdants ! très peu d'action donc mais surtout rien qui fasse avancer le schmilblick ou alors... on dort déjà.
Dommage, car c'est quand même nettement mieux que le film et la réalisation (pour une série) est des plus correctes. Mais ça manque trop d'inspiration et d'idées tout court.

SEASON 1
Was hoping for great things with Hanna the series. Didn't happen. A couple action scenes then a slow burn across 4-5 episodes. Episodes 7 & 8 held my attention better. I expected the character Hanna to be an awesome athlete (genetically enhanced) however she seemed like a physically awkward 16 year old. Particularly in her repeated "running" scenes. Probably would have been cut off of high school sports teams, honestly ... just didn't give me the Milla Jovovich Resident Evil vibe. AND SHE SHOULD HAVE. The character Sawyer who was introduced mid-way through SAVED the series ... if it wasn't for him and his introduction to his chaos I would have died an evil death episode 4 suffocating in my popcorn bowl.
