The new season takes on a different drama, as Clara is presented in The Meadows Barn - but her rebellious nature raises more challenges and Terry's mission persuades her to return to the show in the meantime. After searching for Carla, Hanna tries to find the drug company behind Utrax Medical Implants.
By showing more of the world of Utrax and forcing Hanna to make tough choices as she confronts how she can impact the world, the series becomes more thoughtful and insightful, while also serving up all the butt-kicking action fans have come to expect.
The violent, tense action leads to tragedy and, typically, some wildly improbable rescues and escapes. But it's not like that ever hurt James Bond's reputation.
Now that 2 seasons of Hanna have frustratingly been spent setting up the story, maybe the third season is where they're unleashed in an entertaining way?
Hanna season two is still more of a spy thriller than a fractured fairy tale-but freed from the need to tell the same story, it evolves into something more thoughtful and compelling.
