This is a mostly spoiler-free review of Hanna Season 2. All eight episodes are currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
Hanna makes a bombastic return to Amazon Prime Video with an action-packed second season that expands our heroine's narrative in new and intriguing ways. Season 2 enters uncharted territory now that Hanna's journey has gone beyond what we saw in David Farr's 2011 film of the same name. With Hanna's surrogate father figure -- Erik (Joel Kinnaman) -- out of the picture due to the tragic events that took place at the end of Season 1, Hanna must now take on the role of mentor to her new accomplice, Clara (Yasmin Monet Prince).
The talented Mireille Enos (The Killing, World War Z) also returns as the duplicitous Marissa Wiegler. Next to Hanna, Wiegler is the second most badass character on the show and while she doesn't spend a ton of screentime with Hanna, their scenes are always thrilling. Thanks to the extra narrative real-estate afforded by an episodic structure, Enos' portrayal of Wiegler is more nuanced than Cate Blanchett's interpretation of the character in the film version - that's not to throw shade at Blanchett (we would never), but it's fascinating to see how much Farr has improved upon the character in this iteration by making her less of a mustache-twirling villain and more of a relatable character with actual human emotions.
It's apparent that she cares for the young assassin by the way she protects her from deadly encounters with Utrax, but it always feels like Wiegler is playing a bigger game that the audience isn't privy to yet. There's also a bit of suspense during each of their meetings where you're not really sure if Hanna will accept a warm embrace from Wiegler, or punch her in the face. But with the addition of Mulroney's Carmichael as Season 2's main baddie, Wiegler comes across as much less sinister than she was Season 1.
Mulroney makes for a capable villain in Season 2, but he's mostly just a bully who gets pissed off whenever he doesn't get his way. His assistant, Leo Garner (played by Black Mirror's Anthony Welsh), is a far more interesting character to follow throughout. Gifted in his own right as an efficient killer, Garner teaches at an Utrax-funded school in England that instructs aspiring young assassins like Hanna how to blend into society in order to make them more effective at taking out high-value targets.
Season 2 is really at its best when the story moves to the school, where we get to see how sick and twisted Utrax really is. To make these young women more believable during real-world encounters, Utrax gives each student their own unique backstory, complete with parents, friends, and even pets. And while we'll probably never see Hanna attend a real high school or university, many of the same teen drama dynamics found in Riverdale and 13 Reasons Why are here, only in this version, every student is trained in some form of deadly arts. One of the students that stands out here is Áine Rose Daly's Sandy, who embraces her backstory in some disturbing ways.
Hanna's second season on Amazon Prime Video effectively builds upon creator David Farr's rich universe where young women are trained to become the world's best assassins. Esmé Creed-Miles' Hanna takes on a new role as a mentor to some of these young women in the Utrax program, and it's exciting to watch her mature as a character. And Mireille Enos'...
