Critical Review and Controversy Surrounding Disney's Echo Series
A Dismal Start to 2024 with Echo
As 2024 just begins, viewers are already weighing in on the latest Marvel-derived series, Echo. Early reviews make it clear that among the year's new offerings, Echo is shaping up to be one of the worst. The show's troubled production history is well-known: behind-the-scenes issues reportedly forced almost total reshoots, with the final product culled down to only five episodes. Disney elected to release all episodes simultaneously on both Disney+ and Hulu—eschewing the traditional weekly model—in an apparent bid to limit fallout and allow viewers to binge and then quickly forget.
