Review of Echo

Echo (2023–2024)
7/10
Respectful representation of Native culture, middling story
2 February 2024
First with the bad. There is not a good story here. Generic, bland, it seems to be treading water the entirety of the show, with not much really happening. Side characters were mostly pointless and doesn't add to the story at all. Poignant, heartfelt moments are few and far apart. It has to keep showing the same flashbacks over and over and over. Kept showing it instead of showing who or what the power came from. Action scenes were mediocre except for maybe the first fight scene. Ending felt rushed and anti climactic. Wasted good performances from Vincent and relative new comer Alaqua.

Now the good. As mentioned, the acting was actually pretty good for the most part. Even from the side characters. It attempts to show the Native culture in a reverent way and appears very respectful to the culture in general, while humanizing the people at the same time. It was also short.
