Season 1 Review:
“Echo” it sets up a tug of war between an action-thriller imperative and a cultural-historical imperative that ends up as a losing battle for both sides. .... Where “Echo” comes to life — often enough to make it a short, harmless binge — is in the spaces between action and history.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a series of moments that alternately had me thinking, “Huh, that feels different and right” and “Huh, I can’t believe somebody was able to do that in a Marvel show.” At the same time, there were far fewer moments that I found exciting and almost no moments that rose to the level of scale and spectacle that viewers have come to expect from Marvel’s films and at least hope for from Marvel’s recent Disney+-affiliated TV shows.

Season 1 Review:
Marvel appears desperate to pivot away from the full-throttle escapism audiences flocked to in the first place. Echo tries to break new ground. But in the end, it repeats the error committed by recent Marvel movies by locking into an underwhelming groove from which it cannot break free.

Season 1 Review:
In theory, streaming is the venue to roll the dice on less familiar concepts and take creative risks. On its own, though, the latest addition to Marvel’s Disney+ portfolio feels too small boned even by those standards, creating an “Echo” that doesn’t leave much more than a ripple in its wake.

Season 1 Review:
Well-intentioned about the people, communities, and narratives it’s telling, and a tip of the cap can be given to the diverse lead and characters who drive the show. But honestly, these characters are mostly let down by lackluster energy, flat pacing, and early draft writing that’s never particularly involving.

Season 1 Review:
Had the series been tapered down, the pacing would have aided in capturing Maya’s pent-up emotions and vulnerability, keeping viewers invested in this antihero overall, and not just enraptured in the fighting and shooting sequences. Unfortunately, despite its positive and important elements, “Echo” mostly feels like filler.
