	Author	Review
United States	Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"'Echo 3' struggles in one vital area in making it great; it lacks emotion. The series is worth checking out, but temper expectations. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Through the first half of the 10-episode first season, it’s probably too soon to know if Boal’s efforts to bring refinement to a genre whose devotees are content to keep things coarse and violent will pay off."	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"It's thrilling, subversive action entertainment, or at the very least a potent reminder of how much excellent action doesn’t require easy heroics"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"We’ll give 'Echo 3' the benefit of the doubt because it’s taking a more thoughtful and deliberate tack than most military shows. But boy, do things go pretty slowly to start."	NEU
Canada	Sam Stone CBR	"While those who aren't noted fans of the genre may not be won over by the show, geopolitical action thriller enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy in 'Echo 3'"	NEU
United States	Shane Ryan Paste Magazine	"It's a rare show that manages to balance riveting action with an almost poetic rhythm, but the contrasts exist in concert here"	POS
United States	Max Gao AV Club	"'Echo 3' delivers on action—but falls short on characterization"	NEU
United States	Lauren Sarner New York Post	"'Echo 3' is a fine enough diversion while viewers wait for better shows to return"	NEU
Canada	Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"It's an engaging series that contains many of the action sequences that one might expect, owing to its premise, though creator Boal clearly has greater ambitions than simply telling a swiftly-moving adventure story"	POS
United States	Chase Hutchinson Collider	"There is much that 'Echo 3' seems to be going for in grappling with deeper ideas, but it lacks the focus necessary to pull it off."	NEU
United States	Emma Fraser IGN	"Mark Boal’s action-thriller is attention-grabbing at the halfway point but doesn’t reverberate as strongly as it should"	NEU
United Kingdom	John Nugent Empire	"Tough, tense and thoughtful, this is a deeply grown-up thriller —and more compelling journalistic filmmaking from co-showrunner Mark Boal (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	James Hibbs Radio Times	"This is a hugely uneven first batch of episodes, with too many story threads, characters lacking in substance, and a surprising deficit of energy (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"When it has its military boots on the ground, it can be difficult to turn away (...) And while some of its themes feel underdeveloped so far, only half of the season has been sent for review"	NEU
