📺 ~ Echo

rating: 5.75/10

umm. let's just say this isn't a good start for the new year. if this show was pregnant it probably had a miscarriage because it did not deliver. tonally and narratively, i expected something more grounded in that same dark gritty setting of new york like the netflix-marvel shows, but instead what i got was this mass-manufactured product that feels so wholly unoriginal and boring that i'm convinced no proper artist could've written this. don't get me wrong: i appreciate the representation of native-american heritage and characters and the rep for hearing-impairment. i feel like the signing was very smoothly incorporated into the scenes. but. this show lacks substance and plot and stakes. WHAT was maya trying to do?? i feel like i haven't gotten to know her character at all. i had high hopes for this but it was tanked. this is the longest 1 hour movie of my life (derogatory) and the only point of this was to set up the plot of daredevil born again w that last post-credits scene w kingpin. my faith in marvel is dead.
