Reply to comment by symphonix in Echo 3 - Series Premiere Discussion by NicholasCajun

I turned it off on the mountain fight scene in the first episode. I’m normally super into this kind of stuff, but it was just poorly done that I couldn’t force myself to continue.

Also, the dialogue is awful… goodness

I’m at that scene now, and the music is TERRIBLE! It sounds like something you’d hear in a boutique store in Arizona.

EDIT: And, I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy that they would call up a Special Ops squad that they know is at a wedding for a mission that’s going to happen the very next day. Not to even mention the fact that one of the members of said squad is the groom!

Edit: And an active Specs Op soldier is going to run for Senate? I mean, presumably, he would retire first - but not even start as a Congressman?

Final edit: Just finished episode one. Yea, not continuing on with this one

Agreed with you on all accounts. Also, their decision-making and communications are C tier movie caliber. Not to mention their weapons sound and look like cheap air soft models. lol. This one is going to be a hard pass for me.

TBF Eisenhower didn't retire until he won the New Hampshire primary. He did not run for congress or senate before running for President. So, its not without a similar precedent.
