Review of Echo

Echo (2023–2024)
6/10
Way Better Than Expected
10 January 2024
Although I'm not sure if I'd say it's good, Marvel Studios' Echo was a huge surprise! I really disliked the character of Maya when she appeared in Marvel Studios' Hawkeye back in 2021, so when it was announced she'd get her own spinoff series, I was very much *not* excited. But, it surpassed my expectations!

For the most part, it's a solid series with good characters, great action and an alright story. My biggest problems, though, stem from the inconsistent tone (sometimes it wanted to be very serious like Marvel's Daredevil, and at other points it wanted to be way more dramatic and exciting like other MCU shows), the meh script, the predictability of the story, the bad finale and the messy pacing throughout.

It's definitely way better than I thought it would be, though! Maya went from being a character I hated to being one that I actually quite like, Vincent D'Onofrio was fantastic as Kingpin, and it was great to see Charlie Cox back in the red and black Daredevil suit!

It's worth a watch if you were a fan of the Netflix Daredevil series because it's one of the best things to come from the MCU in a couple years!
