Take a look at Critics Review For Echo Here:

The Hollywood Reporter:  Echo gets the nuances of being a butt-kicking vigilante, the effort it puts into making the character’s deafness, Indigenous heritage and prosthetic limb integral is impressive and entertaining at once. That’s significant, even if I can’t tell yet if the series is as notable on the whole. Will those last two episodes fulfill the brand and the character’s potential, or just set things up for the return of Daredevil? Dunno.

Empire: Though inconsistently paced and lacking in character development, Echo is still an interesting look at a pretty remarkable hero, with some thrilling fights — and the more adult tone is a welcome new direction for the MCU.

Collider: Like the best superhero stories, Echo is about finding the people that make it all worth fighting for. Even though the pieces don’t always come together perfectly, this is one of the few MCU shows that remembers this important facet. Echo won’t save Marvel from itself, but that's not its job. The old franchise had a good run and maybe, just maybe, there can be new life once it finally fades away. As Echo proves, it would be better to see more shows like this — ones that don’t need to drag around the same superhero baggage when it would be better just to cut it loose.

Slash Film:  Echo might seem familiar as a crime thriller, and it may not feel like a necessary story in the overall MCU arc, it's the presence of this authentic culture, dynamic supporting characters, and a unique lead that offers a distinctive perspective, not unlike how "Black Panther" injected new life into Marvel's movies with its African roots. Though there are stumbles in the show's pacing, and it's clear that budgetary restrictions kept the series from elevating the action sequences a bit more, Marvel has made a secondary villain's story more engaging than I had anticipated. Echo Streaming Date and Time: Here's When and Where To Watch Alaqua Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio's Series!

News 18:  Echo was highly publicised as Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) and Daredevil’s (Charlie Cox) return to the MCU. The first three episodes have limited screen time for them. However, the fight between Daredevil and Maya is insane. The action scenes in the other portions of the series are also praise-worthy. Another detail that caught attention was the use of sound and silence in crucial scenes featuring Maya.
