Echo is very different than what we've come to expect from Marvel, but to me this is a step in the right direction. Alaqua Cox is exceptional in this role, and how it weaves the spirituality of the Choctaw Nation into this character and her redemption arc is beautiful.
I only wish it was more than 5 episodes. I thought the character development on the rest of cast made you actually care about them and their place in the story. It was refreshing to not need to know the backstory of a dozen super heroes to make this show relevant. If you didn't see Daredevil, or any of the Netflix Marvel shows, you'd still be able to follow this story without feeling lost.
