When it is on Amazon.
Taken, Shooter, Hanna. Just three movies made into series for Prime. I'm halfway through Friday's 8 episode drop of Hanna and whilst I love the whole look of the show I'm really hoping they do something beyond the whackiness of the movie. At least Taken came from a different start. Shooter though is the film remade over a lot of episodes and we don't really see anything new in Bob Swagger's character.
It really seems lazy work.
What's next Battleship the series?

It thought about giving Hanha ago but if it's weird like the film I'll give it a miss. Had high hopes the original film, thought it would be good but it was just utter shite.

I quite enjoyed Hanna the movie. Might try the series but it’s not top of the list...

It’s not got the weirdness of the film.

Shooter Season 1 is a rehash of the film, but season 2 & 3 take it further. IMO it was a good show.

Taken gets worse as you go along - some of the scripting is so bad, but watchable.

So far I'm enjoying Hanna. It is a bot of a movie rehash but does explore the characters far more, which is what you'd hope for.

I'm into episode 2 of Hana it's pretty good so far as it goes more into the characters and the background than the movie.

If it's not full of weirdness then I might give it a go.

Is it when it’s a book? The book on which both the film and the series are based (and hence have the same story) came out in 1993.
