7 Things We Liked, and 3 We Didn’t, About Marvel’s Echo

After a first episode that’s largely about filling in the blanks from the previous show, the next two episodes set up Maya as would-be Queen-Pin, only for that to go away when Kingpin arrives. Then the final two episodes become very much a showdown between the two characters—until, finally, in the last few minutes of a five-episode series, Maya gets the powers that have been hinted at since the very beginning, uses them, and it’s over.

Along the way, Maya runs away a lot, contemplates a lot, drives motorcycles a lot, and it’s all supposed to show her internal struggle but it just slows things down. The structure and pacing of the show both feel off and, as a result, none of the big payoffs land as well as they should.
