Echoes

The Netflix thriller drama miniseries "Echoes" is largely dependent on the two central characters—twin sisters Leni and Gina—and this article would be a ...

After a few years, when Gina returned to her own LA life, she found out that Leni had proposed her life’s tragic story of going through a miscarriage and the following depression to a publisher as a story. It was now that she started to grow a dislike towards Leni, and then going back to Mt. After the entire fiasco with the burning church and Dylan’s escape, Gina had moved to Los Angeles to pursue her education and lived there for her professional career. Whether Leni knew what the exact consequence of the switch would be is not discussed in the series, but after all, it did lead to Claudia hating Gina for the rest of her life for something that she had not done. What becomes established through the narrative in “Echoes” is that it was always Leni who wanted to play this game of double identity, and it was always she who encouraged her sister to play along. Victor had actually killed his own wife in order to relieve her of the terrible pain she was suffering, and the couple had actually planned out the whole thing. Instead, Dylan had to bear the suspicion of having committed the crime after he fled town, and Leni used this to further taint the young man’s character by convincing Gina that he was a murderer. The twin sister grew envious of this new bond that Gina was now having, and she wanted to break it off with the most twisted plan possible. Solely to get back at her sister, and to have a boyfriend of her own, she showed interest in a young man called Dylan James, who had just moved in at Mt. Perhaps in the same manner in which the elder of twin siblings often makes a great deal out of the fact that they have been born first, Leni takes precedence over her sister’s thoughts and decisions as they grow up. Much like a number of other aspects of “Echoes” that remain underwhelming, to say the least, the two main characters and their motivations are too confusing and disappointing in certain situations. As the series, “Echoes” puts great emphasis on the childhood days of the twin sisters, it is revealed that Leni was born first, and Gina followed shortly after.
