Hanna

I love CIA type shows and Hanna stands in a world of her own in this universe as a very unique and much needed offering. The characters are so complex that it's hard to label even the evil ones as purely evil. Incredible writing and acting. They do a great job of showing human nature and exploring various interpersonal relationships. You see characters that do the most despicable things, hate them, yet still understand how they got there. Some even later turn out to be the good guys.

Various father/daughter relationships are explored - the sacrificial, the nurturing, the abusive, etc. And you see the outcome, the kind of children and adults shaped from each.

You see what unaddressed childhood trauma can do to a highly accomplished, extremely powerful and unbreakable adult, shattering and reverting them back to the traumatized child in an instant. I don't want to give much more here but this story line was intriguing to watch unfold.

If you love shows that really delve into human nature and explore the outcomes of psychological manipulation and grooming/conditioning, you'll get your fill here.

If you love shows that feature school-like settings and/or shows that take place in various countries, you'll love this.

If you love a good action-thriller, emotional roller-coaster drama, great entertainment, great writing and acting, you'll surely enjoy this.

This show deserves at LEAST an 8/10, IMO. I thoroughly enjoyed this and the only reason I can think of for not watching this sooner was because I assumed it was a teen show. Thankfully, I was wrong. It's a great show for adults.

I see a lot of reviews comparing this tv show with the movie. Just don't. This is a totally different thing to watch and it's very good.

The acting is perfect, the cinematography is also very well done and there is a lot a thrills going by in one way or the other.

And Esme Creed-Miles (Hanna)? Where did they find this actress. She is so good. I Knew Joel Kinnaman allready from Altered carbon. But Esme did it here. Mireille Enos as Marissa also did very very well.

I'm at epdisode 5 now and i wanted to wait with my review till the end but i couldt resist cause of all the negative reviews. Mostly after seeing the first episode only and comparing it with the movie. Just don't and watch it like somthing new.

Just watch and enjoy. I think this is Prime's best show till now.

Greetings from the Netherlands and excuse me for my English.

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.

I thought Hanna was a show that's definitely worth watching, it's actually pretty good. From what I've read it seems that most of the low reviews are from people who are comparing it to the movie and they don't like that it's a little bit different from it. Who cares? Just enjoy it for what it is and that's an entertaining tv show that's separate from the movie. Season 1 is probably the best of the seasons but they're all pretty good. It may start off a little slow for some but stick with it because it turns into an action packed thriller that will keep you entertained throughout the entire series.

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.
