Season 2 Review:
“Hanna” finds space in Season 2 for a flurry of fantastic performances that fill out the murky, grey area surrounding Hanna herself. Where the show used to feel like two blunt objects rammed together in different cities around Europe, this season is a more artful balancing act.

Season 1 Review:
Farr appropriately fleshes out his characters to justify spending more time with them and builds a broader backstory than just a father and daughter vs. one rogue CIA agent. ... Enos remains a more compelling silent figure; her Marissa is cloaked in secrecy through the first three hours, so her additions to the role are subtle. Creed-Miles is the standout, but Kinnaman holds his own in this three-player adventure.

Season 3 Review:
The writing and action are superb, but as a closer, I wish it packed more of a punch. [6 - 19 Dec 2021, p.10]

Season 3 Review:
It’s a combination of messiness and grace that has suited the show over its three seasons, resulting in a final bow that sorts out enough and lets the rest fade into uncertainty. For a show about a young killer brought up to leave nothing to chance, it might be the perfect place to leave it.

Season 2 Review:
The show layers on various conspiracies and intrigues that aren’t as interesting as the characters occupying them—and which leave characters, most specifically, Marissa, treading water for long swathes of episodes. Still, this second season of Hanna holds a tantalizing promise of realizing some of its source material’s dark dreaminess and emotional intensity.

Season 1 Review:
Slow as a movie stretched four sizes too big: ideal for those who wanted more dreamy club scenes in Jack Ryan. [29 Mar 2019, p.47]

Season 2 Review:
After a repetitive midsection, the series picks up when Hanna, Clara and two others go on their first mission, which takes them to London and Barcelona. The violent, tense action leads to tragedy and some wildly improbable rescues and escapes, but it's not like that ever hurt James Bond's reputation. [6 - 19 Jul 2020, p.4]

Season 2 Review:
The highly watchable second season does a good job examining questions of family, trust and friendship while offering up plenty of shootouts, fights and dicey situations to keep things moving. Unfortunately the writing here can get pretty lazy in those dicey situations.

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
It's really only in the third episode that Hanna begins to stake its own ground, but probably since that ground is oddly conventional, I can't review that episode, so as far as I can review it, Hanna is the movie told as an elongated TV narrative of 48-minute episodes that, oddly, doesn't give all that much more character expansion. ... At least Hanna has been cast very well.

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
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.
