Hanna - Amazon Original (Spoilers)

Agent Coulson · 07-01-2019 4:38pm #1

The Killings Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman re-team in Amazons TV series based on the film.

Hanna follows "the journey of an extraordinary young girl, Hanna, as she evades the relentless pursuit of an off-book CIA agent and tries to unearth the truth behind who she is.

Slydice · 07-01-2019 9:11pm

At first I was like... Hrrrmmm.. sounds like a rip of Hanna

BUT then I checked wiki and it's based on the film!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_(TV_series)

Hanna is an upcoming American action drama web television series based on the 2011 film of the same name

I remember really liking that film and was kinda hoping to see Saoirse Ronan head down some kinda action hero path:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_(film)

Think the idea of following that career went out when The Host bombed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Host_(2013_film)

Joel Kinnaman on board as the Dad feels like a good addition for that part.

I don't recognise any of Esme Creed-Miles previous acting gigs:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2962727/
but the one where she was a lead, Pond Life, has 7.9/10 on imdb:

The Superbowl trailer

Slydice · 31-01-2019 12:55pm

The training scenes look decent. So I'm guesing it'll be down to the story the want to do afterwards.

pixelburp · 31-01-2019 3:23pm

Such a random one to adapt; looks all right, but looks a lot more boilerplate than the eccentric, visually interesting original film.

EoinMcLovin · 03-02-2019 8:19pm

First episode is available to watch on prime video.

Agent Coulson · 03-02-2019 10:52pm

Well that 48 minute pilot episode could have been cut down to 15 minutes and it would have told the same story and probably done it better.

The Black Oil · 03-02-2019 10:56pm

Ouch.

I'll just scratch this off my list of TV shows to watch so....

If I stopped watching a show based solely on a dodgy first episode, I think I'd have missed out on a lot of great TV.

Agent Coulson · 04-02-2019 11:18am

If they can build up the pace of it the show might be OK.

The pilot moved at a snails pace for what I was expecting which was a fast paced action based series.

Slydice · 06-02-2019 9:51pm

The forest stuff was decent enough. Outside the forest... eh I dunno.

Girl works as Hanna though

The Black Oil · 09-02-2019 6:41pm

Can't see it on primevideo.com, only the Super Bowl promo. Must be my settings.

I think it was available to view for a limited time, I don’t think the show starts until March

corkie · 26-03-2019 2:46pm

Full season available this Friday (29th)!

Agent Coulson · 29-03-2019 10:22am

Dropped today.

Hyzepher · 01-04-2019 3:55pm

Watched it. Worked well for the most part but did seem to suffer from trying to keep the pace up and as a result the plot got a bit predictable

Good overall though.

TheIrishGrover · 01-04-2019 4:23pm

I kinda liked the movie. But not nearly as much as I should have with that amazing cast. I thought Kate Clanchett, Saoirse Ronan and Eric Bana were great but the family she hooked up....... Oh God!

I believe they were supposed to represent the opposite of Hanna: To juxtapose her minimalistic/militaristic upbringing with their overly liberal lifestyle: The mother over-sharing her sexual problems with her husband, letting the girl drink etc. But I just found them to be so offensive that I was put off the movie. I would happily have watched Hanna slaughter them all

Three episodes into it and it's OK. Lots of padding as would expect for a series. Not a patch on the film, which may annoy some people, but so far still seems to be a watchable thriller despite its flaws.

Unearthly · 04-04-2019 9:49pm

I never saw the film but really enjoyed that. Nothing we haven't seen before but well acted, good action scenes, and good soundtrack

Captain Red Beard · 07-04-2019 1:43am

I've just finished this series and I think on all fronts it beats the film , which should have been a lot better considering the cast.

Slydice · 07-04-2019 5:19pm

2: The second episode has the non-combat world feeling a bit better done than the first. Not sure how and where they are going with the story. I assume

Berlin

is the goal for this season.

Agent Coulson · 11-04-2019 9:55pm

Renewed for a second season.

Slydice · 13-04-2019 3:31pm

3: Oh that was good! They managed to pull off a lot of backstory and introduce friends without feeling like they were trying to get away with too much. Then the

game of chess of the two sides going at each other. Loved Hannas training and instinct kicking in and the father getting it. Then right at the end with so much going on, the trap on Wiegler! I mean it should've been obvious but in trying to keep up with everything going on, I felt genuine surprise. I thought he was actually caught and maybe about to be done in.

Slydice · 13-04-2019 11:08pm

4:

awe crap

like.. how're they gonna find each other again

If she's gone to England and the father's gone to to ground

All I can guess if maybe Dieter can remain a common connection

Slydice · 14-04-2019 10:50pm

5:

when Elsa was shot

, I was just like :eek:

Oh and I've no idea how

Sophie, Hanna and Anton are gonna work out. Feels like the English family are just a placeholder for Hanna.

I wonder are they gonna be around for long if the series keeps going.

Slydice · 16-04-2019 8:57pm

6:

When the father got on the elevator I was like

YUH!

Then

when Hanna took out the two chasers from the elevator!

:eek:

Ok, I think the plot has been turning out

bigger and more complex than I thought it would and that feels like a positive at this stage!

Slydice · 19-04-2019 10:47pm

7: That was

cool!

You know, honestly, when the father went off on his lone wolf mission without Hanna.. all I could think was how less of a chance he'd have without her.

Slydice · 22-04-2019 8:56pm

Finished!

8:

Awe no!

There season wasn't bad. Had more in it that I guessed from the previous Film and Pilot episode. Yeah, wouldn't mind seeing where a season two goes.

Too right, the story is only just beginning

They need to deliver on story in the next one. An awful lot of dead time in this.

Agent Coulson · 29-04-2020 5:13pm

Dermot Mulroney seems to be in everything at the moment.

Season 2 teaser.

Arrives July 3rd
