Hanna (TV series 2019)
I found this series very engaging and fun to watch. It begins with a father and daughter in the
forest living alone in a highly disciplined manner. The physical training and survival skills
make it clear the father was in special ops or something similar in the past
and you quickly understand they are off the grid.
I’ve seen the first 2 seasons and hope they do more. Hanna is the star of the show, but the series
has plenty of other interesting characters.
Marissa is my second favorite character who at first hunts Hanna and her
father Erik, but then changes her mind due to various complicated reasons few others are aware of. Also
I think Marissa actually begins to let her heart influence her which in her
line of work can be very dangerous.
The episodes move quickly. I was amazed at how much content could be packed into each episode. It’s a thriller coming of age drama with a ‘Bourne Identity’ feel. Sinister forces are at work attempting to build an army of female assassins from youth who have no family looking for them. Brainwashing and training are crucial to success along with integrating them into society. It’s a fun kick-butt ride literally. Pun intended. Unconditional love, friendship, avoiding capture, lies and deception and twists and turns abound. The search for truth and Hanna’s hatred of lies was refreshing. She understood the difference between lying to protect a loved one and lying to hurt and manipulate. And she also understood truth ‘does’ exist and cannot be manipulated and interpreted differently thus meaning something else to different people – in other words people cannot make up their own truth. Hanna understood all that nonsense to be exactly that – nonsense. Truth is the truth no matter what anyone thinks or believes. Example the earth revolves around the sun. You can believe anything you want it doesn't change facts and even when no human on earth knew this fact it was still true.
I hope you relish this series as much as I.
