Marvel’s Daredevil on Disney+, to get back to the basics
At the beginning of the Marvel series, there was him: Matt Murdoch, aka Daredevil, the brilliant lawyer from Hell’s Kitchen who kicks the bad guys’ butts after dark. And among the thugs to whom he teaches good behavior is the charismatic gangster Wilson Fisk, or The Kingpin. Does this name mean anything to you ? It’s normal, he is none other than Echo’s former mentor, before she realized that he had lied to her all along.
So to better understand who this criminal leader is, we strongly advise you to return to the origins and fight against evil alongside Daredevil. Especially since, like Echo, this superhero has a handicap since he is blind (with the difference that Alaqua Cox is really affected, which is not the case for actor Charlie Cox). Waiting to discover Daredevil: Born Again in 2024, which could introduce a new version of the character, so you can still follow his adventures in these 3 dark seasons.
Hawkeye on Disney+, to keep the Christmas spirit
The dark atmosphere ofEcho and of Daredevil Has your morale been weighed down a bit? SO Hawkeye will allow you to stay in the same universe… Christmas tree and baubles version. We find the famous member of the Avengers, Clint Barton (or Hawkeye), as he prepares to quietly spend the holidays with his family. But the superhero will quickly have to return to service when Kate Bishop, a budding archer, arrives in his life…
Lighter, family-friendly and funny than other Marvel series, Hawkeye is a little treat that will allow you to stay in the cozy Christmas atmosphere. But above all, the 6-episode series is essential to fully understand the character of Echo, since she appears there for the first time, in the form of an antagonist already badass.

Marvel’s Jessica Jones on Disney+, to confront his past
Before Echo’s quest to get rid of her enemies and rebuild a new life, another moving heroine touched our hearts: Jessica Jones. It’s quite simple: the series is the best of Netflix’s 5 Marvel creations. For 3 seasons, the New York private detective must turn the page on a traumatic past, to better move forward, abandoning (or not) her superpowers in the process.
Jessica Jones has achieved the feat of developing a narrative rich in action and fantastic elements, without ever losing sight of its central message: telling the story of gender-based and sexual violence from the point of view of the victims, forcefully demonstrating the long-term impact of these abuses. A brilliant, feminist series, which left its mark on the genre, thanks to the inhabited performance of Krysten Ritter (breaking Bad).
Reservation Dogs on Disney+, to relieve boredom
If the character of Echo is such a revolution, it is above all because she symbolizes a lot for many communities underrepresented on screen. Actress Alaqua Cox is deaf, leg amputated, and Native American. If the treatment of this last aspect has particularly interested you in Echothen you will love it Reservation Dogs.
Created by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi (Thor: Love and Thunder, Jojo Rabbit), this little-known comedy follows the journey of 4 Native American teenagers who commit petty crimes to escape boredom and raise enough money to leave their reservation, in the heart of Oklahoma. Constructed in the form of nods to Reservoir Dogsby Quentin Tarantino, the 3 seasons of the series are simply remarkable, constantly oscillating between drama and offbeat humor.
