On January 10th 2024, the next Marvel Studios series, “Echo”, will be released on Hulu and Disney+ around the world. 

Marvel Studios’ “Echo” spotlights Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) as she is pursued by Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) criminal empire. When the journey brings her home, she must confront her own family and legacy.

I’ve been lucky enough to see the show’s first three episodes and have been able to share my initial thoughts on social media in advance.

#Echo – I've got to see the first 3 episodes. More mature than other #disneyplus #marvel shows, great fight scene with Daredevil. Loved Kingpin. Fab Action. Feels more like "TV'. Lower stakes, perfect for the new Spotlight brand. Can't wait to see the other episodes on Jan 10th. pic.twitter.com/Vne3lkxPYk

Some other critics have also seen the first two episodes at a screening in London this evening:

Saw the first two episodes of #echo tonight and have a lot of thoughts. I think fans of Netflix’s Daredevil are going to love it. It’s like Marvel remembered it can be violent and dark. Alaqua Cox is amazing! Although I don’t love all the creative decisions though pic.twitter.com/qvujfoAKiT

If the world ending stakes of the MCU have you longing for something more grounded #Echo is the gritty tonic. Two episodes seen and it’s a hard hitting action thriller with a great sense of Native American culture. Cant wait to see the final three when they drop in Jan. pic.twitter.com/1dS9wjHTNj

Enjoyed the first two episodes of #ECHO which had an incredible (and violent) fight scene I want to watch again and again. The sound design is 🔥

The brilliant Alaqua Cox continually draws me in, but I found the storytelling and pacing shaky.

Excited to see the rest! pic.twitter.com/tTuSo3L04s
