WARNING, SPOILERS!

Amazon Prime Video's 'Hanna', based on the life of a teenager trained by her father -- an ex-covert ops officer -- to defend herself from when she was a child, is inspired by the 2011 film of the same name. The show's first episode showed Esme Creed-Miles perfect the art of staying off the radar with the help of her father Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman) who taught her different languages, including French and Danish. She worked on one-on-one combat, learned to hunt in the wilderness of eastern Europe where she lived with her father -- away from the influence of technology and other human beings. Aircraft in the sky intrigued her, her father's insistence that humans were dangerous confused her, especially when she met another human for the first time.
