Echoes

Truly terrible story and writer. Wishes she were writing like Veena Sud for "The Killing". But Vanessa Gazy is no Veena Sud. Boring, hush tones acting, poorly executed premise involving allegedly identical twin sisters. Only they're clearly not identical as we see again and again thru flashbacks. Sadly the one who's not present tense and rarely on screen is the pretty one.

There's weird sexual craving of the 2 sisters as they appear partially nude (shoulders and neck). They flop around the plotting. The ridiculous breathy acting of the lead. The terrible "I am a total dork" acting of her husband in L.A. -- they keep dialing him back in to basically just say, uh huh, don't be too quick, there are other explanations, be careful, okay good night, hey should I could out there? Too dumb to recognize his wife is wrong in the head and needs his on-site support.

Dolls and Chucky, and checking for diaries, checking phone records, the weirdo brother in-law, the daughter who one minute recognizes mommy, next minute says you've got your braids wrong.

Honestly the only compelling performance in the entire show are the oversize eyes of the town's sheriff.

Lastly, the ratings engines are all wrong with this show because they're sourcing from a year 2001 series of the same name.

I had to bail at 3/4 of way in to Episode 2. It's just not worth my time to go through this narrative torture any further. But hey, nice marketing!
