I liked the show overall. Certainly found it more interesting than I initially thought I would upon announcement.

Re: Echo (Disney+) 1/9/2024
Finally got caught up with all the live action Marvel series (including all the Netflix ones) and have to say that I enjoyed this more than a lot of the Disney Marvel shows. I felt like Loki season 2 was a trudge but this seemed nicely paced and was interesting.
I seem to prefer the smaller stakes shows/movies than the "We have to save the world/multi-verse/timelines/entire universe!" type stuff. There is a place for those but Marvel leans on them too often in my opinion.
And speaking of tropes...I challenge Marvel to come up with some new shows/movies that don't rely so heavily on flashbacks and/or multiverse/timeline stuff. So tired of watching those two types. It seems like near every Marvel movie or show has one or both of those. It is old. Fuck flashbacks. That being said, the little girl that they got to play the young Echo is unbelievable casting. Not only was she a decent actress but she looks like the spitting image of the adult actress.
I also wasn't a big fan of how Kingpin was disposed of in this but whatever, I still enjoyed the show. If I can make it through an entire Marvel series and be relatively entertained and not feel the call of the Fast Forward button, then I consider that a win nowadays.
And someone needs to invent that sign language gizmo. That was cool as shit. Hell, I could see that happening with stuff like that new Apple VR set.

You could even rotate the hero out each season if needed

This was OK. I honestly didn't care much for Maya, thought she was pretty bland. But Fisk is always a welcome addition to any Marvel show he pops up in.
Loved the Daredevil and Hawkeye cameos too.
Action was solid. But again, overall, a mildly entertaining show
