Hanna (TV Series) To the Meadows (2020) User Reviews

Captive!!!

[lavatch · 8/10 · 18 January 2021]

In this third episode, Hanna makes her way to Clara as she travels from Belgium to Northern England. The one ally of Hanna is Marissa. But Hanna cannot forgive Marissa for not being entirely truthful with her.

One of the most shocking moments of the episode is when Hanna fights Marissa, knocking her unconscious...or worse. Hanna now has the passport for Clara. But she is unaware of how the trainers have successfully reprogrammed Clara into Clemency, who feels that she is now part of a family. Some of the most chilling moments are those in which Leo and Lori are manipulating Clara's emotions in the brainwashing process.

Marissa's goal was to assist Hanna in freeing Clara. She states that she does not want to go in with "guns blazing." But that is precisely what Marissa does in shooting Sonia. Shortly thereafter, Hanna and Marissa struggle, and Hanna alone leaves with the passports.

A shipment of drugs has arrived at the Meadows around the same time as Hanna. The drugs were sent at the orders of Carmichael to Louis Dumont, director of innovation at Passway Pharmaceuticals.

While she is successful in overpowering a couple of the guards, Hanna is suddenly overwhelmed by a large contingent at the precise moment when she first made eye contact with "Clemency." Instead of being the captor, Hanna is now the captive!!!

It's getting worse. How shocking.

Wait, what? I'm confused. Why did Hanna react the way she did when she found the card John gave Marissa with his number, the same one that she saw call Marissa's phone? She told Marissa that she lied/she always lies, afterward, when they fought, which was referring to the card with John's number that she found. And I'm guessing she was also referring to when Marissa lied about who was calling her and said it was her ex. But I don't get it. Did Hanna think that Marissa is reporting her movements to John or something?

That was so weird. It felt forced just to separate Hanna and Marissa, and have Hanna go to The Meadows alone which in turn, was to have Hanna be captured by being mentally and emotionally defeated or whatever, instead of running away, by seeing that Clara is "fine" and "living the good life" with everyone else, something that Hanna could never give Clara, or something, I don't know. So ridiculous.

Oh, and one thing that I noticed very clearly in this episode that I didn't in the previous two episodes and recently came to the recognition of from someone else mentioning it, is that Hanna is seemingly accustomed to how the world works and knows stuff in regards to that, in the sense that she knows how to drive, is traveling all over the place, etc.

It's almost as if she wasn't just living in a forest for her entire life. I mean, you could argue that she was, at the very least, informed of stuff like that by Erik and was mildly taught some of it, perhaps, or maybe had the knowledge instilled into her memory/muscle memory when she was a baby. Still, the fact that she's so used to things like that from the get-go of this season is a little farfetched, way too convenient, and contrived.

This episode seemed worse from a general standpoint than the previous two episodes, shockingly but not shockingly. Oh, God. That dialogue between Jules, Helen, and Sandy, specifically the exchange of dialogue between Jules and Helen at the beginning of that scene. So horrifically bad.

But I guess it's a good thing that this season is getting progressively worse. That's better than if it started to get good or was relatively good at the start, then started to become way worse, then started to get good again, and constantly went back and forth. Plus, if it continues to get worse, it wouldn't be as bad if it started to become good towards the end where there's not enough room for it to go back to being worse, you know?

Bad writing ruins this episode

[Aragorn450 · 4/10 · 13 July 2020]

The UTREX people are written to be idiots in this episode and it's frustrating. They never check video footage from the pharmacy company to see that it's actually Hanna, nor DNA from her being given an IV.

Plus, Marissa can track them easily but they can't track her? And then she leaves fingerprints when betraying them which again, they can't find?

And it's not about a lack of technology because when they DO use video footage, they can then get a license plate and track the car to a restaurant parking lot in ~5 seconds.

And finally, Hanna is a blooming idiot and gets caught far too easily. Deer caught in the headlights. Which, OK, she's not going to be a super agent. But it was just too easy for the security forces.

Time is Ticking Ticking Ticking

What escapes me in this series is the concern Hanna has specifically for CLARA's wellbeing and not any of the other trainees. If Clara had listened to Hanna in the first place and stayed off grid then they would both still be SAFE in the Forest.

Hanna finally figures out that Weigert is lying to her and beats the living crap outta her. I was extremely disappointed that Hanna did not kill her. That part was dumb. Hanna is trained to remove liabilities and leaving Weigert alive was a mistake. -2 Stars for that bit of dumb.

And Hanna shows up at the holding facility called The Meadows to rescue Clara, and Clara seems uninterested when she sees Hanna as Hanna gets captured.

3/10.
