Echoes

Clint and Kate do battle with the Tracksuit Mafia.

This is a strong episode with some quite inventive scenes.

It starts with a decent bit of character exposition done with a good visual sequence before returning to the present with some fantastic action scenes.

Showing the perspective of characters with hearing impairments is brilliantly done. This style feels plausible, it is consistent and I enjoyed how it is incorporated into both the action and the more emotional moments.

Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld are on great form.

The production values are top drawer, particularly the action sequences. I usually hate the action movie clichè of the car chase, but this one is very good.

So many times, when a character gets their own show/movie, the character suddenly gets flattened and less interesting, such that the story happens around them, rather than that character remaining a compelling, fleshed-out catalyst. Loki and Black Panther are two prime examples.

But here we see Hawkeye, and the new antagonist and protagonist alike, all three getting appropriate depth, nuance, and narrative time. I say bravo, Hawkeye. And that opening sequence moved me just as much as UP's did.

And while the action sequences felt very made-for-TV, I loved them. The camera work, choreography, special effects and directorship all came together with such force and beauty. That alone makes me want to watch the episode again, and I can't remember the last time an action sequence made me say that.

Can't wait to see what happens with the mother, with pizza dog, with the mysterious uncle, and of course Natasha's sister.

Now this, THIS, is how you make a superhero TV episode. As far as superhero TV goes this is one of the best of all time. Absolute fantastic, and my hat and socks off to everyone involved.

Acting fantastic, even Hailee whom I have criticised a bit here show how great of an actress she is. Probably feeling more comfortable in the role. Directing stunningly done, camera work and CGi and action is just completely out of the park in another dimension. I was laughing and following with during the entire time. Pacing spot on. Such a fantastic delivery all throughout.

Maybe I am still high from seeing this, but I feel compelled to give this a 10/10. The only TV shows that have scored that high in my book the past few years before this is The Expanse and the fantastic Agents of Shield. That is how good this episode was.

Highly recommend this show (so far) and this episode is beyond great.

This episode is very strong with a maya lopez origin story that introduces a big upcoming mcu player. We get hints of a certain man showing up in the future and overall the chase scenes in this episode where really fun however I felt the cgi wasn't great and the cliffhanger ending lacked a cliff hangers.this episode made me see why we are getting an echo show marvel has an upcoming star in new comer alaqua cox.

This episode is hilarious and Kate gets to blow a lot of $h!t up. Echo proves just how dangerous she can be and who is this "Uncle?" Is that who I think it is from DD? Sure sounded like him. This show keeps getting better and better! Best episode yet.
