Echo 3 Episode 4 Review

This episode was slow-paced and did not have a major plot twist. Each character had enough screen time and made a gradual development. The viewers get a closer look at the characters in the aftermath of the entire situation. With friends turning their back on each other and fragile relationships, the plot has managed to stay as realistic as possible.

James Udom outshined everyone in this episode. The scene where he is seen having a heated argument with his husband is extremely powerful, which gives the audience a perspective of how things usually happen inside closed doors. The rest of the characters also remained consistently in character and delivered what the script demanded.

Echo 3 is now streaming on Apple Tv+.
