Bad pacing, few action scenes, and a protagonist with virtually no arc makes for a very lackluster show. Kingpin still steals every scene he is in and is truly intimidating, and while the first episode shows promise, kingpin remains the only good thing for the remaining 4 episodes as nothing truly happens of any consequence or interest. This show is essentially just set up for daredevil born again. Maya/echo takes no responsibility for her actions in this show. She says that she and her cousin grew apart even though maya chose to ignore her cousin, and then 10 minutes later blames her uncle for not reaching out, even though it was established that she was ignoring everyone who reached out to her a few scenes before. It was almost as if the writers made echo a do no wrong character despite the fact that that made echo a hypocrite, because there were no true heroic qualities to the character. She was a promising character in hawkeye, and alquia cox is a good actress, but in her own show, her performance was rather lackluster with the exception of a few scenes that were admittedly done very well. I had a lot of hope for this show, and unfortunately it was just ok. Hopefully daredevil born again will be better, because the netflix show of daredevil is amazing.
