Echoes

There's good & bad elements to this show, with a very smart although convoluted twist/misdirect standing out as a huge positive that nearly counteracts the sometimes inexcusable acting, over-the-top drama, and unrealistic plot turns. Overall, being only 7 episodes, I would recommend it for someone who has Netflix and is looking for something to get into requiring minimal commitment. It is a good thing it isn't any longer of a series though, because this show would definitely prove that too much can be a very bad thing. 6/10; an intriguing mystery that is weighed down by being a little too heavy handed.

I like Michelle Monaghan, so decided to try.

The movie plot is not terrible, but it's not well executed unfortunately. Too many flashbacks.

At first glance I thought the Sheriff would be annoying, but she ended up being the best part! I hope I see her in more stuff. Kind of like a female Colombo.

Last...I guessed at the ending and was wrong for a change. (I guess there's that.)

It's bad but watchable while doing other stuff, like cleaning your house or other boring chores.

It's like those weird movies for TV they used to make in the 2000s. It's a pity, the idea is nice, actors are decent ( Karen Robinson Is excellent) but the dialogues and the plot simply dont work.

Do Better, Netflix!

Echoes is a thriller involving twins. One goes missing, which sets the other twin in a search for her missing half.

The beginning was... constipated. (except for the dialogue and performance by Sheriff Floss) What I mean is that there's some suspension of reality and some forced dialogue in an attempt to hold back the twists until later episodes.

Now the twist is also kind of predictable, given that this story involves twins.

The most interesting part is episode 5 "Gina" (this is a 7-episode limited series) when the cat is out of the bag and the story becomes more interesting with all parties trying to deal with the situation. The ending is also satisfyingly uncertain, as it probably should be to stay true to the theme of the show.

Probably for the better that this is a limited series.

Overly complicated in the first couple of episodes but I was in it for the duration by then so completed it.

The premise of the show was interesting but the reality not as accomplished as it could have been.

I like Michelle Monaghan was good and I loved Floss, but some of the other characters were quite hollow.

It didn't have a satisfying ending but I didn't feel like I'd wasted my life!

Perhaps indicative of Netflix's reduction of quality programmes but daily entertaining nonetheless.
