Same here. Good start but I have too much on my plate to binge this in one go. Maybe I'll watch 2 more tomorrow if I have time.Hawkeye was my second favorite Disney+ series to Ms. Marvel, with that said Echo's first episode was okay. I'm not going to binge through it tonight but will be back for the second episode tomorrow.
Overnight for some of us.I forgot this is releasing tonight instead of overnight.
Echo: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes
Maya Lopez's ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown; she must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community.www.rottentomatoes.com
65% after 20 reviews. Not great, especially for a TV score.
Outside of the Kingpin stuff in the Finale, Hawkeye was great and I'll hear no arguments otherwise!Yeah, I mean if stuff like Falcon and Winter Soldier get to 85% lol
Even Hawkeye got like 92%. What the…!
Agreed on Falcon & Winter Soldier though, but that show benefitted by the reviews being based on only the first episode, which was good. It didn't start really sucking until half way through
I don't find Rotten Tomatoes reliable for TV shows. At least with movies, a lot of the recent movies have at least 150 reviews (that reviewed the film from the start to finish) and you can't say that to a lot of Tv shows, especially Marvel. If I remember correctly Agents of Shield has a 80% RT rating and Ms. Marvel is close to 95%.I sometimes forget that for TV the RT score of the show is based on just either the first episode or whichever episodes go out as screeners. And then that score stays as such, good or bad, regardless of how the overall full season turns out.
Imagine if reviews of movies were only based on the first 30 mins lol
I think this show was created in the first place so they could add more original programming to Disney+, not that they have a very interesting story to tell about Echo. I'm about to start the final episode, and since they just dropped the entire thing in the same day. Maybe this would have been less boring if they cut it as a 2 hour film?Started off strong but I really feel like this show is a total slog. I don't know whats going on with these show lately. I mean, I really really loved Wandavision, which I own on 4k (I have to love something to own it), and I loved Hawkeye. I think Loki was really good too, but man everything else has been mixed to just boring. It sucks to say, but like with Ms. Marvel and moon knight, I just don't have much interest in finishing the show, and I hate when that happens because it feels "wrong", but I also don't think it should be an obligation to finish something that I'm not enjoying. I liked Maya in Hawkeye btw! I felt like she was compelling. The problem is not every single one of these characters needs a Disney+ spin-off, and to me that definitely is the key issue here. Wanda? it made sense, and her show added so much to her characrter. Same can be said for Loki, and Hawkeye too.
I think the whole thing is about 3 hours. The final episode is 34 minutes long iirc. Remove the previously on, credits for all the episodes. It is much shorter. Should have been edited as a movie, in my opinion.I think part of the reason for the mixed reviews is since we have the ability to binge that has been the model adopted by watchers. And they find themselves putting together a 5 hour movie instead of watching a 50 minute episode let it sit while you go and do something else and come back later as was the traditional TV viewer model before season sets on DVDs became available at a competitive price.
