Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Agents of Shield was such a great show. If you can get past the first season (which was by far the worst season) I guarantee that you will enjoy the rest! It just took a while to gets it's footing but once it did it was one of the best shows on tv. It's one of the rare shows where every season just gets better and better! I already miss it!

This show is simply amazing, it has great writing, superb acting, unpredictable storylines, deep and interesting themes, great attention to details, and amazing pacing, it's the best show when it comes to using a 22 episode season without being full of filler. The characters on this show are quite well written, they feel, talk and act like real humans , I care about all of them to some extent..in fact, I might be more invested in their lives than I am my real friends..oops! It's not only the main characters though, I often find myself really loving characters that only show up for few episodes, all the props to the writers and the cast. Now the show isn't perfect, it does take some time to gain momentum, the first season while enjoyable is rather slow compared to the rest of the show. also the show tends drop storylines or leave some things unexplained, that doesn't bother me personally, but might bother others. There is also the connections to the rest of the MCU, which some people see as not enough, others too much, and yeah it can be a bit frustrating when the crossovers you imagine don't come through, but it's not something I'd hold against this show, I think they write around the MCU well enough, all things considered. In fact, I like that the show adds a 3rd dimension to the movies, It is more interesting to me than characters showing up for a quick team up or the like.

You should give this series about a season before judging it, as a large part of the first season is setting the scene for what comes after. And in my opinion, everything that comes after, is definitely worth the wait.

As this television was born from the MCU you can expect superpowers, aliens, mysterious artefacts and overarching plots that make you want to rewatch it to enjoy its brilliance even more. This TV series might have grown out of the MCU, but quickly paved its own path, using Marvel as its inspiration, but not its limitation.

Watch the show, expect the unexpected and enjoy yourself.

It started slowly, in season 1, but I'd heard so many positive accounts of the writing that I persevered.

Wow. It's amazing. The character development, the plot twists, the reveals, the twists and turns, the drama, the fight sequences, the effects, the acting, the whole story - it's truly awesome.

If you watched season 1 and gave up, I heartily recommend you get back to it and watch to at least season 2 and you'll be hooked. There are plenty of moments where I've laughed out loud, plenty moments where I've almost cried, plenty times when I've shouted at the screen - it's full of drama, adventure, action, suspense and even comedy.

No spoilers. Just watch it. Of all the television shows I've watched, it's definitely in the top 10, maybe even the top 5. Give it a go - if the IMDB review scores were ignored from 2013, this would be scoring a 9.0 or higher instead of the measly 7.5 it currently, undeservedly has.

Agents of Shield was one of the best and most underrated superhero shows ever created. The first season wasn't any good so some people stopped watching which was a big mistake. I barely made it through the first season myself but if you can power through it you won't regret it. Like many people here have already said, each season gets better than the one before it. It starts off as a spin-off from The Avengers as it follows S. H. I. E. L. D. one year after that first movie and is originally part of the MCU. Then they made the incredible choice to break away and make the show their own, and that's when it gets good.! It follows a S. H. I. E. L. D. team led by Phil Coulson and the rest of his team (Daisy "Skye" Johnson, Melinda May, Mack, Leopold Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Grant Ward, Yo-Yo, Deke and more characters that come and go throughout the seasons). It has some of the best writing for a superhero show and some of the best characters. If you haven't seen this yet or stopped watching after that terrible first season then do yourself a favor and go watch this as soon as possible.
