It’s impressive just how good Cox is here. She carries the show completely with her body language, facial expressions, and signing, and it genuinely feels special that Marvel is introducing a hero here who is a deaf Native American woman who uses a prosthetic leg played by a deaf Native American woman who uses a prosthetic leg.
What distinguishes this is how it opens a window into American Indian culture and heritage while telling a brisk, exciting mystery that steers Disney+ to a new horizon of not only more complicated and edgier storytelling but one told from an often overlooked perspective.

Echo was decent. Like a Jason Borne movie mixed in with familial dynamics. The deaf dynamics added it's own flavor to the Daredevil / Hawkeye formula of street level supes. Wasn't totally sold on the mysticism, the plot sometimes tested the limits of suspending one's belief andthe pacing was off, like either they needed more episodes to flesh out the cast and character arcs, or they could've even chopped a few beats and had it be a feature-length movie instead.

If you approach Echo like the five-episode movie that it is, you’ll be a lot more satisfied with the pace of the limited series’ storytelling. It’s certainly darker than much of the MCU fare we’ve been seeing, but it’s also one of the MCU series that’s most grounded in reality and family, which is refreshing to see.
“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.
Though inconsistently paced and lacking in character development, Echo is still an interesting look at a pretty remarkable hero, with some thrilling fights — and the more adult tone is a welcome new direction for the MCU.
A third-rate snoozer that further waters down the once-mighty Marvel brand.
Instead of fleshing out its setting, Echo just dithers, haphazardly introducing plot points and then seeming to forget them for long stretches of time. With as many as seven writers credited on some episodes, Echo feels both overworked and unfinished, as if pieces were hacked out and rearranged at random.
This show starts out good but quickly devolves into more marvel schlock. Echo's powers are corny.

The opening of Echo resonates with Disney's attempt to adopt the Netflix series style. However, in the following episodes, it gradually loses its way, wandering aimlessly. In the end, the performance of Vincent D'Onofrio becomes a redeeming factor, only to add a glimmer of watchability.

Marvel gets lazy and cuts corners on basic fundamentals. Underbaked story and scripts. Loses way early on and never gets back on track. This could have been two episodes… and not even worth the effort. Suffers from the same malaise that other Marvel properties suffer lately: hubris and assumption that people will want to watch this based on it being Marvel. Not because the story and script. What a flawed philosophy that has lost Marvel millions. Skip this

Thought the first episode was pretty strong and had high hopes for the series. Then it quickly deteriorated from "the darkest show Marvel has ever put out" (okay Kevin Feige), to the girl power version of Shazam.
Truly not sure who the target audience is supposed to be here. My girlfriend said this show was more boring than Thor 2, so it's clearly not for her. And it sure ain't for existing Marvel/comic book fans or else they wouldn't be butchering cool characters like Echo from the source material. The Daredevil cameo and Vincent D'onofrio's performance were the only reason this isn't a 1.
