Review of Echo

Echo (2023–2024)
7/10
Echo × Kingpin show.. it's great!
10 January 2024
Echo overall landed on a 7.5/10, don't let these other biast reviews written by trolls affect the show for you, watch it and form your own opinion. I gave individual episodes an average of 8/10 but overall it needed more episodes and I was expecting more grittiness, though the ending was a good conclusion with solid execution compared to the usual messy endings of other mcu shows bar loki. The show did have the opportunity to be something much better though.. Overall I think the people who worked on it did ffing amazing but marvel giving them only 5 eps to work with is disappointing and 5 episodes just didn't feel satisfactory enough. The cinematography and editing is a step up from usual shows within the mcu, it gets pretty creative at times and the supernatural elements shown throughout are a good surprise. Every introduction scene to an episode is so cool and exciting. The vibe felt more mature and less silly whilst still offering some fun moments between charcaters. Acting is great, Alaqua Cox does superb as her echo charcater, Vincent as kingpin is perfection. The chemistry between these 2 charcaters is so well done, the dialogue is well written which creates interesting tension and some great similarities between the two charcaters. What we see of Daredevil is an absolute treat but I think people may also use his short presence in the show as a negative which is unfair. People saying the fighting felt floaty and slow, I don't see that, I do think people are just searching for negatives. Could this show have been a movie with a higher budget, probably, is it better as a show, I'm not sure but it's a fun watch with great moments. It's tv-ma, feels mature, has solid writing, it's nothing special but it's a step in the right direction and it's worth watching!
