The show functions like something of an experiment: one that started when someone asked just how many twists and cliffhangers could be squeezed into seven episodes. So if you’ve ever wondered that yourself, the answer can be found on Netflix today.
Stretched over seven episodes, with a number of distracting subplots, Echoes over-complicates its initially intriguing premise.
For a few hours, Echoes achieves that much. You can get caught up in it until you aren’t anymore. The lack of confidence in the audience’s intelligence was finally too much for me and despite Monaghan’s worthy double-act and Robinson’s Columbo-esque ingeniousness, Echoes never recovered from revealing how its trick was achieved — long before it had actually been fully achieved
“Echoes” has a fundamental pacing problem. Its front half crams in questions, potential developments, identity games and shock reveals. These elements make promises. Then the next episode does more of the same. There’s not enough depth here to make up for the deliberate and repetitive march forward.
The main problem with “Echoes” is the most common TV problem of the current era—it doesn’t have the story to support a series.
Echoes is without question one of the most messy and confusing shows we’ve seen in awhile, and there really seems to be nothing for a viewer to grab onto that would tempt them to move to the second episode after the first is over.
