Echoes (2022) Netflix Limited Series Review

[@pineapplereels6365]

I’m really glad that Gina’s husband Charlie mentioned the different scent between the two sisters. I was watching with a friend and mentioned wouldn’t their partners noticed that they smell different and sex isn’t the same? A small detail that makes a lot of difference. And him being a therapist makes him more aware than others.

[@FLdancer00]

That was just an ex machina to reveal that he knew the whole time. They were switching souls, not bodies.

[@SomaJabbar]

Ending was terrible , Leni should’ve been in jail or atleast caught in the airport… And Gina deserved a new life or going back to charlie

[@jait7578]

All the while, im like how is Charlie able to date and marry his former therapy client?

[@hunorsimon5958]

It was perfect because we can see a season 2 soon💪I loved this! I started to watch in the morning after I finished my night job and couldn't stop and finished the 7 episode on the same day 🤣😂🕺👑loved it

[@darky1376]

Yeah so leni is living freely despite having killed 2 men? Why didn't the sheriff find her? And we needed real closure for Gina and see her one last time

[@giyanawilliams7750]

seriously im so upset she didn't go to jail for everything she did

[@Whathappened875]

If you’re having trouble following just finish it through, then do a recap. At the beginning of the movie, we are following Leni, whom is at the time playing Gina. Gina is the writer, Leni is the mother and the one who saw the incident as a child the troubled one. Also she is the one who pushed Claudia and Gina took blame to protect her. So, the whole beginning we are following Leni, who is actually the mother of the daughter while the whole time i thought Gina (whom is running away) was leaving her daughter. We are following the bad sister, trying to prevent the good one from running away from her. When Leni made Gina start a book about her miscarriage i think this is when Gina began to want to get away, and when she found Dylan and got pregnant, that fueled it. I see a lot of negative reviews but i could not stop watching it, binge watched it and loved it. The ending was not great but I’ve seen worse for sure and it did not ruin the show for me

[@leviAckerman-rn5gd]

I really liked the show, but Leni was so screwed up. Gina was constantly trying to make her own identity and personality outside of being a twin. But Leni constantly pulled her in and always had the blame thrown on Gina for the shit she did.

[@1991Meka]

I too had a hard time keeping up who was who.

[@jait7578]

I thought the show was a bit confusing and convoluted at times. It was hard to watch because there were no redeeming characters. I felt myself on the side of the police officers lol

[@sherryrose3777]

I agree with everything you said!

[@Whathappened875]

Gina is the redeeming character, if you’re compassionate enough, they both are. Gina dedicated her life to her sister, gave absolutely everything to her and lived a whole life around her. If you have any family members with a severe mental illness like Leni though, you might understand that one day it may just be too much to deal with for her. A person with a bad mental illness can eat you alive and she did it to Gina. Even though the life swapping is very immoral, she got caught up in it with good intentions for her sister. Leni on the other hand, had to witness something horrible as a kid. It broke her. So you saying she has no redeeming qualities might not be considered fair to many people, everyone will have differing views. I understand what the father was doing and that the mother wanted it and all, but knowing that one of your daughters witnessed what happened and he never discussed it with them, he destroyed his daughters world. It’s not easy being a parent they all make mistakes, this was a big fucked up one.

No one is that identical that you have the same behavior patterns sexual physically or mentally that was just plain stupid that husbands wouldn’t be able to tell the difference

[@joshie19922]

Well they touched on this. That’s how Charlie was able to realize that they were switching. He kept notes of it whilst jack kept saying you don’t love me which is as a result of their different behavior

[@klarsuel1]

@@joshie19922 I’m a identical twin there is now way you wouldn’t even need notes 📝

[@darky1376]

Also how did they keep track of what one of them was doing for a whole year??

[@beaubyinhim]

It’s about personalities disorder. What gives me away? I tried to think it was one person while watching it and suddenly it all makes sense. Other thing, Charlie (Gina’s husband) was holding a book named “Split”; and the scene at the Cherry Blossom, it was just one girl. At the end, one of them has to die. Leni’s childhood trauma when she was experiencing her father was killing her mother, it was too much for a mind to deal with so she allowed Gina to live her other personality who didn’t experience that trauma.

[@rdm9754]

It’s not abt personalities disorder. They were really twins that swapped lives every year around their birthdays. Gina was always painted out to be the evil twin but it was really Leni who is the evil twin. Leni was jealous of Gina’s and Dylan’s relationship. Hence why she started the fire in the barn to separate them. Anytime she did something wrong she wanted Gina to switch with her so that she wouldn’t get caught. Leni was always the controlling evil twin that Gina listened to.

[@JamesLee-tu8io]

@@rdm9754 you got it exactly right, the person above you is over analyzing at its finest

[@wolfrebel4196]

I find shows about twins frustrating. I am a fraternal same sex twin and even was part of a social Twins Club organization as a child that contained over 250 sets of twins. I find it really inauthentic when they gloss over that a huge thing in psychological development is each twin developing their own sense of self identity. Yes, identical twins could stand in each other's place physically. So the visual and auditory could be identical. However, the way one individual structures sentences (both verbal and written), argues with others, processes information, and works through logic problems can be incredibly distinct. Twins in which each has no true sense of individual identity would probably not function normally during social interactions

[@brianmsahin]

We just got to watch this and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I'd probably give it 3 and half couches because I thought the Sheriff was really great. The way she questioned people brought me back to the old Columbo series with Peter Falk, where he always had just one more question before he left. It wasn't perfect but the sheriff kept me watching!

[@sebbvell3426]

They should have a Razzy awards for tv shows cuz if it existed it, this show would win lots of categories.

[@Toha_Bog]

Can you recommend similar series to watch?

[@chedbeckford8067]

Floss stole the show, loved every scene she was in. As for the series, so many times I got confused about which sister was on the screen. I knew the plot was unrealistic but I understood why it needed to be that way. Entertaining watch, I had a blast despite the obvious issues

[@wordofGod8663]

In the last scene it's was Gina with Charli, let me explain, remember the guard in the airport,told Leni that she saw someone who looks exactly like her in the airport before her , and I know someone would asked why line was in the airport, well Leni was there because she wanted to go back in Los Angeles because she was kicked out by her husband , I've just watched the show i did undestand something , when i was watching the series, i felt like my head wanted to explode, at first episode i knew how to make the difference between Leni and Gina but after watching a few episodes i was totally confused and I almost thought I had gone mad, but after thinking I understood how to distinguish the two twins, Leni it was she who had set the fire,in church and killed Dylan, and Gina, it was her who didn't had a chance to gave birth and lost his first love Dylan, and Gina also is the woman who had decided to flee and change her life with Dylan , and Leni was who wanted to kill Gina, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I need to take rest, and I will try to figure out what happened in the movie, soon...if you want to be crazy , you have to see this series

[@antoniopinto1579]

I don't know about the rest of the viewers but this mini-serie is really bad. Why in the h... would you as one of a pair of identical twins swap lives ? And your own parents can't notice the difference. And what about the husbands? We have more then visual sense.

[@puspavelai8353]

If that style/format was done on purpose, than "keeping track of who was who" is like part of (game) puzzle? Thanks for sorting that portion up, because, may be this 'tactic' could be bothersome! Unless, of course the middle and end is absolutely satisfying.:) As usual like the details.

[@n1k01k0]

Not being able to keep straight who was who is for a reason. If everyone is their life is fooled, do you as a viewer expect to just keep up with ease? But I agree, the disabled sister is a bad actress. The waterfall drama and the chase through the woods was cheap. I also agree that teen versions of them were far more interesting.

[@AmandaSchnaare]

I just finished episode one and... well.. I was content. I wasn't drawn into it though. Unfortunately, I wasn't drawn into watching episode 2. It felt strangely boring toward the end of episode 1. :-/

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

Currently I'm knee deep in White Coller. Kinda ironic. Shows top notch imo. They have that Shawn and Gus chemistry.

[@faLLingFASterfeARing]

I love that show! I agree, the characters have a great dynamic which is so fun to watch even when the plot is simplistic.

[@Dexthesaga]

LOL

[@traviso7810]

This show felt a lot like Gone Girl to me. Not as good as Gone Girl but just had that vibe to me.

[@funjuror]

And Gone Girl did it all in under two hours.

[@WheelYourOwnWay]

I felt gone girl vibes too, I can’t put my finger on exactly why… guess I gotta rewatch gone girl!!

[@timbaker2739]

Only watched the first episode. Too frustrating to watch as she wanders around, never following up on the shady stuff that's happening and being said. ASK QUESTIONS UNTIL YOU GET AN ANSWER!!!!!

[@johnsellas4455]

This is like a lifetime movie

[@Ghost-wz7tc]

I couldn't make it through the first episode. The acting was just horrible. It was like watching a highschool drama class in which the students are not taking it seriously.

[@oliviatheresa]

I was really looking forward to this. I need Netflix to bring a new show that is Ozark and Stranger Things level good!!!! Great review as always! Maybe I will check this out on a rainy day when I need something to keep me half entertained for a while lol

[@blankname6629]

Unfortunately Netflix is really not interested in making good shows. If they can make something mediocre that gets high ratings and had a low price tag that is hitting a homerun to them.

[@natashamcavoy2432]

THE MENU... awesome movie, not a classic mystery per se but definitely mysterious

[@klarsuel1]

Man I just screamed in episode 4 like what in the entire fudge is going on

[@larabelle78]

thanks for the review as always, and congratulations for the sponsoring of this video... Not a mystery show, but I recently watch Julie Delpy's serie On the verge (on netflix), and I really enjoyed it. It is about friendship and social life, and because all characters are in their forties, it seemed oddly refreshing...

[@MoviesAndMunchies]

I'll have to check that one out!

[@larabelle78]

There are 12 episodes of 30 minutes, I hope it is available in the US. As it is taking place in California, so you may not find it as refreshing as me 😁

[@captainclarke2710]

I didn't like this series. First of all it was so damn confusing as to who was really who. Secondly it was sick that they were sleeping with each other's husbands and Charlie was aware of it and seemed to be enjoying and loving both the women. Is that crazy or what?. If Leni said she loved Gina so much then why did she try to kill her and drown her. ??? Why did they both go back to the same state just to see Charlie in the end? I tot Gina wanted to flee from everyone far away and start a new life. The series was tooooo long and dragging and frustrating and the ending was lame.

[@QueensNYgirlie1988]

So I just finished the series but can someone please explain to me why one of the twins has an accent and the other doesn't? Maybe I missed it??

[@leahdavis9434]

Pretty much just to help us distinguish them, but if you want a plot reason I think the one that moved to la is supposed to hate the small town and intentionally lose her accent to separate herself from it

[@nataliahorzov4028]

Leni has an accent

[@ulallume]

@@leahdavis9434 I had the same thought about hating her small town too, but the child and teenage Ginas didn’t have an accent.

[@lynx2cross]

I’m three episodes in and it’s interesting enough but some of the scenarios didn’t make a lot of sense and annoying characters that seemed to keep popping up. Think of it like a Lifetime movie no awards being handed out here but it will keep your attention.

OMG, I couldn't agree more! I'll also add that the script was very weak. This show tried too hard to be Behind Her Eyes.

Behind Her Eyes was great!

[@teotwawki1144]

Thanks for this. I'm legally blind and this is audio described, thank goodness. I wanted to know a general feel of the series before I watched something that scared me out of my wits. Confusing and somewhat underwhelming - I can deal with that! Binge on! Couch on? Something on, anyway. ;)

I went back and watched the first few minutes of the first episode and figured out how I ended up so confused.

This isn’t a 10/10 but I enjoyed it more after I stopped watching she hulk. It seemed interesting in being confused on who is Leni and Gina I actually enjoyed that !

I could'nt keep track of all the switching. I had a feeling that was going to happen before I watched.

[@Llucius1]

Truth be told , there was a twins in my school that did the samething and they switch from time to time , but I could tell. As obvious as it seems , sometimes people just cant who is who especially when the height is the same as well. A very interesting idea , well , I guess the story for this one is just too short.

[@NickYoung22]

This show felt like they randomly threw in shit to feel complex but it just made no sense and had no point. Frame your sister for the murder that she committed but you gotta get her in the car so call her and say someone else killed him but she knows it was her so why did she take the bait? Oh cuz the show needed her to.

[@paulheydarian1281]

Netflix seems to be a sinking ship. I wonder for how long they can afford to fund these shows. 🤔 Now, does intotheAM make any graphic tees for *Autistic* folks?

[@JoJo65654]

Netflix is only good for True Crime documentaries which are few and far between.

[@Nostromo2144]

I really liked the Dark Matter & Spectral Space Tee. BUT...even economy shipping to Aus was almost as much as the T-Shirt. Bugger. :(

[@MoviesAndMunchies]

Oh that's a bummer! Shipping can certainly make or break the purchase!

[@LoveLostization]

I had to fast forward through most of the episodes, atrocious acting, not a good story, incesty feeling, and to much of a complex that could've been a lifetime movie and over in 1 hour lol.

Thank you! I was hoping too. The concept is intriguing... just the execution doesn't work as effectively as it should.

[@natashamcavoy2432]

What I couldn't stand is there was barely any dialogue that lasted more than 2 or 3 sentences. They exchange a few words then, whaddya know, they make an excuse and dart off. Annoying

[@mrgorgun81]

Still waiting for a series on par with True Detective season 1.

[@MoviesAndMunchies]

Oooh, that's a high bar! I'd love to see a show of that caliber!

[@jackioff]

The dialogue in Echoes read like it was was written by AI hahah. So much exposition I couldn't make it past ep 1

[@filmgirlLisa]

Personally I didnt find it confusing, just very frustrating. The premise was very promising but it dipped so far into melodramatic silly storytelling for me that it was hard to finsh. So many things were either implausible or just silly storytelling wise. I really liked the sheriff (Karen Robinson) who was very smart throughout but at the end they made her an incompetent idiot just so they could have that silly ending. Matt Booner and Jonathan Tucker were also as good as they could be in this. I also felt the real teenage twins were much more interesting, as M. Monaghan was too flat and melodramatic for something like this. Theres a sublety needed to be able to easily distinguish the sisters but it usually felt like the difference in characters was down to eyeliner and that awful side braid.

[@jayj4439]

I too found it too complex in my opinion. It takes skills to leave viewers open to interpretation while not being too complex or leaving viewers confused. Jordan Peele does great with that. I'll give this series a 3 because the mystery was engaging but the ending left me hanging. I peeped the terrible green screen part on the last episode too..😂 it was atrocious

[@sparrsheila]

So many scenes, are ridiculously dark, you can’t even see what’s on the screen, and they do this a lot. What was the point of this? No point, just some director trying to be artsy, or what? Whatever it’s horrible

Good in depth review. If youve already watched the series.. in which case why would you need to watch this review if youve already watched the show? This review doesnt get me to want to watch or not watch the show. Isnt that the point of having a review? I still dont kno what the story is or what its all about. Theres a difference between an opinion and a review. Not meaning to sound rude but honestly.

[@leahdavis9434]

A review is meant to be their opinion. It's not a commercial and it's not a persuasive essay. You're meant to based your decision based on their opinion. The best way, in my opinion, is to find a few consistent people that you trust or tend to have the same tastes as rather than expecting someone to spoil the mystery for you (any more information on the plot would spoil the mystery, and the whole point of the show is discovering the mystery. All you need is the show synopsis otherwise go read a plot summary instead of watching reviews).

[@leahdavis9434]

Not meaning to sound rude but honestly

[@percocetplz5754]
