Hanna 2019

This is one of my favourite series and has been so from the first season. (After the first season, I also watched the movie of the same name, starring the extremely talented Saoirse Ronan, and found the two have a very different feel to them and I prefer the series over the movie.) Esme Creed-Miles is exceptional in the titular role (it's hard to believe she was 17 when she took on this role and was merely 20 when the project wrapped). Mereille Enos (who was my original draw to the project as I followed her filmography from her superb performance in THE KILLING) is brilliant as the antagonist (ally?). The writing is tight and the narrative is skillfully woven. There is emotional depth to an otherwise action filled thriller. I love the characters and the performances across the board. I am so sorry to see it end but it was a very fitting conclusion. This is a series I will revisit every couple of year and I highly recommend it and have given it a 10 (excellent) out of 10.
