I didn't watch Daredevil but other than knowing more about Kingpin, I don't see as it has very much bearing on Echo.
Anyhow. The Echo series feels sort of like a sequel adjacent to Hawkeye, as it picks up pretty much where the Echo character left off in that show and follows here forward while simultaneously trying to flesh out her backstory. While there were positive elements, on the whole, I thought the show suffered all the same weaknesses of most of the shows Disney is doing in both Marvel and Star Wars. Its like they don't know the difference between a TV show and a movie and can't decide which they want to be in the first place.
The result is that all of these shows feel both too long and too short at the same time. Too short and too light on plot to be as immersive as a TV show and too overstuffed and long to be a cohesive movie.
