'Hanna' series review: The teenage assassin's story has its small moments but it mostly misses the mark

Hanna, the Amazon TV series starring Esme Creed-Miles, Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos in lead roles will premiere on March 29.

From the get-go, it has to be noted that Amazon's upcoming show 'Hanna' is an interesting watch. Especially if you like the genre of espionage-action series, the show provides a good twist with a teenager playing the lead role. The episode aired right after the SuperBowl in February and set the standards high in terms of narration, visuals and the action sequences and in the following episodes we see pretty much the same. Esme Creed-Miles as Hanna rebelling against her father Erik (Joel Kinnaman), who is an ex-black ops officer is an interesting premise if you haven't seen the 2011 film 'Hanna'. The show is based on the film, however, by expanding it over eight episodes the creator of the show, David Farr, has made it more commercial. The film, on the other hand, was an artistic piece in which the filmmaker could indulge in making Hanna an enigmatic figure.
