## Synopsis

Echo 3 (2022-2023) is a United States prestige action thriller series created by Mark Boal for Apple TV. When brilliant scientist Amber Chesborough (Jessica Ann Collins) vanishes along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother Alex 'Bambi' Chesborough (Luke Evans) and her husband Eric 'Prince' Haas (Michiel Huisman) must find her amid a guerilla war. Both men are elite Army commandos, and their mission is complicated by the presence of private contractors, drug cartel violence, and the local figures who shape every stage of the search. The engine of each episode is the grinding pursuit of a hostage through hostile jungle terrain, with the men forced to trust and distrust one another. Each hour moves brisk and tense, with a single continuous story rather than standalone cases. The series runs for one season of ten episodes, and its tone is gritty, visceral, and propulsive, with a relentless sense of danger. Fans of Narcos and Generation Kill will find resonance in its blend of military realism, cartel conflict, and morally compromised soldiers.
