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
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.

It doesn't happen often, but this series gets a 9 from me while the 2011 movie gets an 8. And that's saying something since I'm a huge fan of Saoirse Ronan, who played Hanna in the film version. Esme Creed-Miles is very effective in the role of the highly-skilled yet "fish-out-of-water" Hanna, and the supporting cast are also quite convincing. Perhaps an obvious fact (given that there's much more time available) but I feel that this series fleshes out the various characters more than was possible in the movie, which allowed me to become more invested in them. My only complaint is minor, but the production team clearly spent less money by filming a lot of scenes at night, so I'd suggest watching in a dark room if you want to understand what's going on during those moments. Keep an eye out for future roles played by Esme as I predict she's got quite a career ahead of her. I was also captivated by Rhianne Barreto, who very believably plays Hanna's one true friend. The direction, scoring, location scenery, and cinematography (albeit a bit dark at times) are impressive. Highly-recommended binging material.
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.
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.
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.
