Early conversations throughout. I was most surprised with all the characters but particularly Hank. In terms where he goes. He has been established as a mass murderer, but he is also a dad,” he explained.</p><p>MacLachlan said he himself was surprised by unexpected turns his character will take in the new season, which began streaming this Wednesday, Dec. 17 on Prime Video.</p><p>“He has been in a comfortable place. Anytime Hank as a plan or goal to work towards he is happy. I think his intention by doing what he is doing, is because one reason he still believing in the mission,” he said.</p><p>“He feels he is capable of making significant change in the world in a positive way. He is also in the process of preparing hopefully for another chance to explain to his daughter and tell his daughter to understand who he is and why does what he does,” he added.</p>
