“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.
-
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.

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]
-
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.
-
Much like Season 1, the new episodes of “Hanna” open promisingly and close with a bang. As seen in other streaming series, it’s the slack in the middle that frustrates.
