action

season 1

Erik Heller once recruited pregnant women in Europe for the secret CIA project UTRAX , as part of which their children were genetically modified in order to breed high-performance soldiers. When Erik fell in love with one of these women - Johanna - he rescued her daughter Hanna from the UTRAX facility in Romania . Johanna died while fleeing from CIA agents, including Marissa Wiegler. In response to the escape, the CIA had Marissa shut down the project and kill any remaining babies.

15 years later, Hanna lives with Erik, whom she knows as her father, hidden in a Polish forest. One day, out of curiosity about the outside world, she ignores Erik's order not to leave the traditional forest. She is getting the attention of the CIA and Marissas. Erik and Hanna go their separate ways, Hanna is imprisoned by the CIA in Morocco , from where she is able to flee quickly - especially using her cold-blooded fighting and killing skills. Marissa starts chasing Hanna and Erik. On her escape, Hanna temporarily joins a British family on her way back to England and becomes friends with her daughter Sophie. In doing so, and also in the further course of the plot, she gets to know the normal life of a teenager or adult that was previously alien to her.

Hanna meets Erik again in Berlin. Erik and Hanna hide from the CIA with the help of Erik's former colleagues from his army days. Both Erik and Marissa discover to their displeasure that the CIA has restarted the UTRAX program at the Romanian location - a fact that Marissa's superior Jerome Sawyer wants to keep a secret. Hanna finds out that Erik has lied to her about his fatherhood so far and therefore flees to Sophie in England. There she will be picked up by Marissa. Realizing that UTRAX will continue, Marissa becomes disloyal to Sawyer and ultimately refrains from killing Erik. Hanna was first introduced to Erik in Romania with her biological father, but would rather live with Erik. She helps Erik get to the UTRAX facility , where Erik wants to free the young women bred there. The liberation, in which many CIA agents and guards die, only succeeds in the case of Clara Mahan (trainee 249); the CIA relocates the rest to another location. Finally, Marissa helps Erik and Hanna to escape from Sawyer and his CIA followers.

season 2

Hanna and Clara hide from the CIA or the UTRAX leadership they want to seize in a Romanian forest area. Contrary to Hanna's warning, Clara goes to Bucharest on her own initiative , where she hopes to meet her birth mother, but instead is picked up by the CIA. The UTRAX manager John Carmichael had Marissa Wiegler help him with the arrest , who in return obtained impunity. He has Clara brought to Great Britain, to the remote boarding school The Meadows , where the UTRAX training program is now being continued. Other apprentices there include Sandy Philips and Jules Allen, of whom Clara has joined. Clara now lives there under the name Clemency and is made compliant with drugs, which, like the other trainees, are administered to her using a capsule implanted in her upper arm.

Meanwhile, Hanna wants to free Clara from the UTRAX program. In Bucharest she meets Marissa, who cooperates with her without Carmichael's knowledge and hides her from the CIA in an apartment in Paris. Instead of accepting Marissa's offer to hide under a new identity in Canada, Hanna goes to Charleroi , Belgium , the headquarters of the pharmaceutical company that makes the drug capsules and delivers them to The Meadows . She comes into the company building under a pretext and gets information about the location of The Meadows . Marissa helps her on the way. Carmichael still knows nothing about her double play. On the way Hanna escapes her because she thinks she is working for the other side.

Arrived at The Meadows and met Clara, Hanna was interned there and accepted back into the UTRAX program under the name Mia Wolff . With setbacks, she can convince Clara that her life is not real there, that the alleged death of her mother is probably just a lie and that she should better escape with her. After Marissa has also reached the boarding school, she initiates her, Hanna's and Clara's escape with outside help, but her plan is thwarted by Carmichael at the last second. Marissa is locked up in the boarding school, and Hanna and Clara continue to live as UTRAX trainees.

Finally, Carmichael uses Hanna, Clara, Sandy and Jules as agents to prevent an American lawyer known to him with the code name Tacitus in Barcelona from passing on secret information about UTRAX to the local press. By finding Clara's mother in Egypt, Hanna can dissuade Clara from loyalty to Carmichael and UTRAX , but Sandy shoots the lawyer. To liquidate Hanna and Clara, Carmichael sends his helpers to Barcelona before he goes there himself. To track down the two girls, he uses Marissa, for whom he enables a fictitious release from her captivity. Finally, Marissa, Hanna and Clara can cooperatively thwart their murder by Carmichael and his helpers. Since Clara wants to live with her mother, Hanna and Clara go their separate ways permanently.

criticism

In the FAZ , Andreas Kilb expressed himself negative about the series. The story told works as a film - meaning who is Hanna? - but not as a series, because too much is told that is unimportant from an action point of view. So there are watery "transitions that lie between the actions and are designed to waste time like the back passes in football."
