I wound up binging 3-5 last night. I listened to Campeas review as well. I liked the show a lot more than Campea, so there’s that. But it sounded like Campea had a lot of expectations coming in about very specific details that I didn’t. Worth noting he also hated Hawkeye, which I loved, so me and Campea are not always on the same page. Campea also loved "The Flash" movie. Needless to say, his "reviews" are worthless. "Echo" is a very good show. At the end of the day, it's all subjective. I quite enjoyed the flash movie though. No one gets it right all the time

Here’s the character in episode 2, who is at the lacrosse game. The year is 1200AD in Alabama according to the opening scene title card. I have a theory why this obviously European man is in 13th century Dixie, but what do you guys think?

I found it,,, not sure if suspicious is the right word, that they dropped this entire serious at once when they’d been doing what I think is the right thing to build discussion and hype of the weekly release. Especially when they’ve got a lull period with little content and they could have used closing that gap a bit. I’m about to check the reviews, but to me that says they just want to get past it.

I’ll add that I believe the ability to binge 5 episodes and not wait week to week for a 20-30 minute episode over a month and a half actually added to my enjoyment. When shows have enough to talk about, ie Game of Thrones, then I enjoy a weekly drop because there is often a lot to mull over. Some of the MCU shows haven’t been as thought provoking. In that instance I prefer to be able to go at my own pace.

In that instance I prefer to be able to go at my own pace. I have to agree with you. Initially, I had reservations about deviating from the traditional weekly release. However, the convenience of the all-episode drop format became apparent, allowing for a more immersive and uninterrupted experience. Surprisingly, the late review embargo lift significantly contributed to a better viewing experience as well. This approach helped control leaks and mitigated protracted toxic discussions often accompanying Marvel and DC live-action releases. It's a tactic I never thought I would endorse, but in retrospect, it has served its purpose well. Last night, I finally watched the remaining three episodes of Echo. Overall, I enjoyed the series, although I acknowledge some problematic elements that could have been addressed better. The most significant downside was the ambiguity surrounding her power set. In a superhero series, a clear understanding of the hero's abilities is crucial, and this was somewhat lacking. From what I can gather, her powers revolve around radical empathy, but even that isn't entirely clear. I recently sat down with a friend of a friend who works for a large media company and is the rotten tomatoes reviewer for his outlet. He readily confessed to "waiting to see what the general vibe among other critics is for a Marvel show" before calibrating his review to match and submitting it to the platform. Aside from laziness and a general lack of original thinking, I can't fathom why anyone would be motivated to operate that way as a "professional" critic.

If you’re just waiting to echo the general consensus then what’s the point of even adding a critical opinion? lol

I was tempted to quote the myth of Echo to him but, I thought it might be too on the nose.

I mean, her show didn't have expensive VFX, big name actors who command a high fee OR expensive foreign shooting locations. So it makes sense.

The Echo approach is clearly the right one financially. I legit don’t know how anyone can justify spending 200 million on a straight to streaming 6-9 episode miniseries.
