'Hanna' premiere: From Baldwin in 'Counterpart' to Saya in 'Deadly Class', here are 5 intriguing TV assassins

Before Amazon's show 'Hanna' airs, here's a look at a few of the most intriguing assassins on television
UPDATED FEB 14, 2019

The Amazon original show 'Hanna' grabbed the attention of viewers when it released the pilot episode on the streaming site after Superbowl, for exactly 24 hours, after which it disappeared. Hanna is trained by her father, an ex-black ops officer, to avoid human contact. Over time she ends up becoming a trained assassin. The first episode of the show, filled with intrigue, was a good start to a series centered on a teenage assassin.

This, of course, got us thinking about some of the best assassin characters we have seen on television, which took us all the way back to 'Nikita.' So, here is a list of the top five fictional assassins who impressed the masses.
