The black echo series6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() The second episode leaves off introducing viewers to a young woman in a back room, one without a name or any dialogue just yet. But the person calling their shots, throughout the first two episodes, is a mystery until the very end-and is not someone clad in athleisure. Enter the "Tracksuit Mafia," (who appear in exactly the dress you'd probably expect), who have it out for both Clint and Kate. The first two episodes of Hawkeye, the latest limited series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to land on Disney+, spend a lot of time establishing a new hero ( Kate Bishop, as played by Hailee Steinfeld) and checking the post- Endgame pulse of an old one (Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, played as always by Jeremy Renner).Īnd while a lot of time is spent on these beats of both character development and establishment, it is an MCU property-and that means we need some conflict. The following story contains light spoilers for the first two episodes of Hawkeye. ![]()
