Finally had a chance to see the short final season -- six episodes in season 3, rather than the eight episodes in each of seasons 1 and 2 -- of Hanna on Amazon Prime Video since 24 November 2021. Yeah, the competition, i.e., The Beatles: Get Back on Disney+, was just too appealing.
But Hanna was as strong as ever, non-stop rollercoaster action with unpredictable swerves with characters we've come to care about, starting with Hanna. She's more accomplished than ever, but also more introspective, as befits someone with her pedigree and current situation.
As was the case since the second season, she's enormously helped by Marissa, whose backstory is finally spelled out in Season 3. Indeed, this season is so much about Marissa that it could have been called Marissa, or maybe Hanna and Marissa. Esme Creed-Miles does a fine job as Hanna, and Mireille Enos is better than ever as Marissa, which is to say, she deserves at least an Emmy nomination for her performance in this final season.
Ray Liotta is introduced as the new archvillain Gordon Evans, replacing Dermot Mulroney's John Carmichael in that role. Here I'd say the combination of the characters and the acting and plot wasn't the best. Evans was too one-dimensional, betraying not a shred of decency, and Carmichael's evolution needed a bit more explanation.
But the young women in UTRAX were all well acted and motivated as characters. and all in all I'd rate this finale season as well worth seeing, and providing a satisfying closure that leaves room for a sequel somewhere down the road, which I'd definitely find time to watch.
