Echoes Struggles to Live Up to Its Predecessor

The new AMC series revisits familiar themes but lacks the originality and impact of the original Orphan Black.

Krysten Ritter stars as Lucy, a 'print-out' of a deceased human, navigating a quest for identity and truth.
The series, set 37 years after the original, attempts to explore new themes but often feels derivative.
Despite strong performances, the show suffers from a lack of urgency and a thinly stretched plot.
The futuristic setting is visually bland, failing to capitalize on its sci-fi potential.
Echoes serves as a reminder of the original's brilliance and the challenges of replicating past successes.
