10 Recent TV Shows That Made ONE Huge Mistake

10. Baiting Fans With Daredevil - Echo

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Echo may ultimately have been far from the disaster that many expected pre-release, but it still rarely rose above acceptable mediocrity, and it didn't help that Disney set some unfair expectations right out of the gate.

Echo's marketing heavily played up the presence of Matt Murdock aka Daredevil (Charlie Cox), as understandably led most to believe that he would have a relatively substantial supporting role in the series.

Except, Daredevil ends up appearing in just a single flashback scene in the show's very first episode and... that's it. His screen time totals a whopping 98 seconds across Echo's roughly three hours, and so it's tough to blame fans for feeling duped.

By hinging so much of the show's promotion on Daredevil, only for him to dip out after a cursory early cameo, Disney basically handed fans the cudgel to attack it with, even if Echo was basically fine overall.

Disney were evidently compelled to manipulate fans like this after all the pre-release hand-wringing about the show's potential lack of quality, as well as the overall "necessity" of an Echo series in the first place, but it really only gave fans ammunition to dunk on the end result.
