Summary
Reviewers say 'Hanna' is lauded for its strong performances, particularly by Esme Creed-Miles, Mireille Enos, and Joel Kinnaman, and its engaging storytelling. The series is appreciated for its exploration of Hanna's coming-of-age journey and the mysterious Utrax organization. However, some critics find the plot inconsistent and the action scenes variable. There's a divide regarding the series' deviation from the 2011 movie, with mixed reviews on character development and pacing in later seasons.
Featured reviews
Season one was great. I was hooked with every episode and the character development was great. Season 2 seems to be pretty bad. Its very redundant and decisions are made that frustrate you beyond belief. Shame cause this series was so good it's first season.
This series was great from start to finish, although I found the last season a little lacking and not quite up to par with the first two. Fantastic action, great story. Well worth watching. You can easily find yourself hitting "next episode" a lot.
Overall, my rating break-down by season is:
Season 1: 9/10 -- definitely the best of the three, although also the most heartwrenching. Felt like a rocket ship, you are strapped in from the get-go action-wise and I am still haunted by the lullaby (which is a musical theme throughout the series but you find out its heartbreaking origins in this season). Joel Kinnaman is stellar as Hanna's father.
Season 2: 8/10 - the general premise in season 2 of the training facility is not original, but was still well done as was the development of the other girls being trained, and the impact of the methods on the government individuals also.
Season 3: 6.5/10 - this was the weakest of the three unfortunately. Some of the choices in story line (and also the marketing images...) were just odd (trying not to give anything away here) or otherwise seemed kind of off.
Still, one of the best series I've watched and well-worth the time. Action sequences were well-executed and very satisfying to watch. I do hope we see more of Esme Creed-Miles in the future.

I just finished watching season 2 and I really liked it! I won't compare it with the first season because it has been a while since I've watched it but I would say that it felt almost at the same level, although the story took a different direction. But hey, it's a new season! And I really hope that Amazon keeps it up with more and longer seasons. It's a fairly good mix of drama, action, thriller and many unexpected turns. I found myself really caring about what happens to some characters, seriously annoyed about the decisions of others and often on the edge of my seat, so to speak. Compared to so many average and boring shows available today, this is refreshingly entertaining. Esme Creed-Miles did an excellent job, as well as all the supporting artists.
The casting is exceptional, the music is amazing. The cahracter development is great.
At the beggining i thought it will be a simple action show but it turned to be so much more. The base story is pretty simple but the combination of charater development, the direction and the music make some very unique moments that worth watching the series. Also the action is great too.
Im still in the 3rd season but this series won if from 2-3 episodes. So far 1st season is the best by far, mostly because it has my favorite part better: character development.
If you are into action, characters, women as the protagonist then you have to give this show a try.

It's finally got around to watching Hanna and have to say I found it pretty entertaining. I never saw the movie so I had no expectations going into it. I know some fans of the movie didn't like it and then there are others who say it was even better. I do know that the series has a very solid 7.6 rating here and the movie a less solid 6.7. Anyway, I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire series and glad they were able to give it a proper ending instead of a cliffhanger. It's only 3 seasons with 22 total episodes so it's an easy binge. It actually watches better as a binge watch instead of waiting over a year between seasons and forgetting what was happening. If you're looking for a solid thriller with plenty of action then give Hanna a try.
