This isn't the show I wanted to it to be. It tries to tell a classic S.H.I.E.L.D. tale
- MCU style. Something we should all have learned long ago: you can't please everyone. Sadly, they tried.
Being a long time comics lover and Marvel fan, I've had to put up with a lot of shenanigans in this new Marvel Cinematic Universe and you guessed it, this show has plenty more.
Crazy overworked plots with twists, fake twists, twists within twists and after a while, you don't even know if they are trying to hold it together any more or simply going for chaos and impossible continuity breaks. Of course, you can always pull the ol' Marvel trump card! (Just make anything up and magically fix whatever mess you just created. See any Marvel hero/villain who has "died" and is still around...)
The characters wildly implausible behavior and ambiguous morality is probably the most annoying aspect, closely followed by the at times questionable acting. The lack of Avengers cameos is disappointing as well. Censored, bloodless fighting always frustrates me.
Highlights include the various origin stories, Fitz-Simmons, Phil Coulson and the show really is very beautiful to look at, from good looking actors to great visual effects and cinematography.
After all, I still recommend people to watch it... with a note of warning to comic/Marvel fans especially - the cheese is strong with this one. 8 years 9 months ago -

This show started off really bad and took about 15 episodes to find its own voice. If you can get over that hump, the show might grow on you. I still don't think it is one of the better shows on TV today, but I'm having fun with it now. Kyle MacLachlan is the best character but it looks as though we may have seen the last of him, at least for now. Hopefully, I am wrong about that. 8 years 9 months ago -
