I can easily say this is one of the best shows on network television. The characters feel real in a not so real world where there are super heroes, aliens, robots, flying cars, time travel. Amazing writing and each season is a whole new story with new twists and turns. The first half of season one is a bit of a bore because of the serialization but season 2 they drop that and stick with the meat and potatoes and it pays off. It is no surprise that it got signed on to do a season 6 and I can't wait for it.
Another one of those shows that starts off pretty meh then finds it's footing and takes a significant turn for the better.
Gave up half way through season 1, gave it another chance, and now I can't wait for each new episode!
I Love this show, it's about the Agents of SHIELD not superheros.. I don't know how the average person judges acting. But I totally got into the story line and how it tied into the movies. I suppose thats why season two is starting earlier..
Will always be a part of this small, but active fanbase! S4 is legendary in my book. Mallory Jansen played all her different parts to perfection. Iain deserved some type of award, he is just brilliant - I'll never stop saying this. Daisy's character development is an emotional hero's journey that really took place over 7 seasons. It's like watching her grow up. This SHIELD fam just feels like home, every time. I really miss them, man.
One of my favorite shows! So many marvel charachters and so many nice storys. also a lot of good surprises. additonaly, the series reacts to events from the marvel cinematic universe what makes it even better!
You only need to get over the first few episodes!
It is a show that starts pretty weak but is like wine, with time it just keep getting better and better. I'm talking about the action, the characters, the story, all of it. If you made it to season 2 it will probably become one of those shows you just can't stop watching
This show just keeps getting better. The introduction of the Inhumans is awesome. It's not as jaw dropping as a Marvel blockbuster movie, but the story line has progressed well, specifically Sky's. Looking forward to how they draw this into the upcoming Avengers movie.
This second half of the season is really picking up. I hope they keep up the current pacing.
I'm a sucker for a good ending, so this was a tough show to rate. Season 1 was weak, but ended incredibly strongly. The series as a whole had its up and downs, usually with a great sweeps week and an unimpressive season finale. The last few seasons were stronger than ever, and then the whole thing ended with a very distant (I would guess covid-related) wrap-up. What a ride. High points of the show: Season 1.5, Season 2 finale, Season 3.0, Season 4.5, Season 5 Episode 5, and nearly every minute of season 7.
Also, nearly every minute of screentime with Patton Oswalt, Patrick Warburton, Ruth Negga, or Lucy Lawless.
The show had lots of great moments, and although it didn't always deliver on MCU integration the way Season 1 had promised, Agents of SHIELD is usually worth sticking through the low points. You'll hit every sci-fi or adventure trope you ever loved or cringed at. You'll be sometimes totally surprised, sometimes not remotely surprised, and sometimes unimpressed with the character development. Dialogue is generally solid. And as a whole, this show follows the trajectory of any superpowers-related show: that is, almost every central character will end up with superpowers eventually.
I also have to warn you, some character arcs never go anywhere. A couple interesting characters/ideas are introduced, only to never be used again. Other characters are brought in but never used to their full potential. And sometimes characters leave for their own spinoff series, but then it never happens. (It's a shame we never got Marvel's Most Wanted.)
But AoS delivers a fun arc often enough to be worth watching, if only for the bits of lore that are too small to feature in a movie. Also, the cheeseball costumes. I'd rate some seasons as low as 5, others as high as 9. Overall: it's an 8.
The best character development, growth and writing in the MCU. It takes around 15 episodes to get there, but by the end of season 1 and building through season 2, the show reaches it's main story heights. Though it peaks in season 4, the quality never wavers again, bringing compelling character arcs and evolutions to the best streak of marvel stories in the universe written around lovably crafted characters.
Only watched the first season, I've heard it gets better but I'm done with it. Basically, I think this show's rating is severely inflated because of the string of pretty good Marvel movies we've had recently. Unfortunately that's about all season 1 has going for it. The writing is well below the standards of the films, the characters depth-less cliches. Of these I especially despise quirky Hot Girl Hacker, seriously fuck this trope. I get it, your writers need a crutch to move the plot along because they don't have any original thoughts. Characters need info? HGH to the rescue! Locked door in base? Why not hack it open! Need to introduce a new plot point? Time to web browse! Techie sounding Buzz words! The NSA spends many millions on cyber security and employs some of the top IT minds in the country, but folds completely to a hot homeless girl with a laptop and Starbucks wifi.
There's also a pair of geeky love birds whose romance plays out like an rom com set in an anime middle school (we're supposed to ooh and ah when they accidentally hold hands or almost accidentally kiss - basically ignore the fact that these characters have multiple doctorates and have got to be at least in their 20s). Also, impossibly young and smooth agent player guy, who could be in the movie Kingsman if we dropped all pretenses - and would be much better for it.
I feel like this franchise exists only to try and exploit the Agent Coulson character's surprising popularity, and even that relatively good character/actor is stretched pretty thin.
This show isn't really good. It's watchable but it's so far up its own arse with the plot twists and betrayals inside of betrayals that any real drama gets ruined. You need some givens to work with in order to give the show some grounding. The way it is now I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Sky's father is actually a clone of Nick Fury and he's using Martian super dna to alter his appearance in order to trick Coulson into singing NIN's Hurt for Lyndon Johnson’s ghosts birthday party.
I mean I know that the source material is comic books, but no one likes comic books, as in doesn’t buy them. This show was a chance to shape the retarded comic book logic into something that the non-terminally greasy can enjoy.
Awesome! A must-see for fellow fans of The 4400, Heroes, Misfits, etc.. Hope it has a long lifespan!
The characters are so good man. And S4 is arguably the best superhero stuff ever (maybe only behind S1 and S3 of Daredevil).
I don't think I've ever watched a show that changed so much season to season yet retained the bits that enticed its original viewership. I absolutely, 100%, recommend this show - it's not perfect, but it's a slice of the MCU that's done well and will keep you at the edge of your seat. It uses Season 1 to figure out what it wants to be, and then changes it up when you least expect it, repeatedly.
The finale was beautifully executed. As with any superhero show, there are many that are unbelievable, but every character's end suits them 100%. I'm glad FitzSimmons got their happy ending, especially. They went through too much for anything else. I am also a bit bummed there was no opportunity to revisit core characters from previous seasons, mainly Bobbi and Hunter - would have been cool to see what they're up to.
Sometimes too cheesy but overall it was a nice ride and this is coming from a guy who doesn't like series with superheroes. I am just happy to be a part of this show and its story.
I just finished episode 5x20 and I felt I needed to write this down and reiterate something I say almost every season when I watch Agents of SHIELD. I hate SHIELD. They're a terrible organization that take away fundamental human right. I don't understand how everyone can see everything wrong when it happens to the X-Men but when SHIELD does it suddenly no one cares what's right and wrong. It's only what's legal that matters.
The Storylines are Super Compelling
That aside it's a testament to the writing of this series that it's one of my favorite shows five seasons in. For a show that has been subjected to the whims of the movie franchise it's spun off from. It's only gotten better every times something bad happens to the MCU. When Captain America revealed Hydra was hiding in SHIELD the whole time. It killed the entire premise of the show. Which was amazing. The show which was stuttering shifted gears into good. Season 5 spent most of it's time in an altered timeline with a reduced cast and it was one of the best arcs in the series. In 5x20 we finally see the impending Infinity War showing it's effect on the series. One of their human antagonists is becoming a threat (that I feel I would recognize if I read the comics). It's compelling it's mostly well written. The characters are interesting and dynamic.
And yet... I still HATE SHIELD. I hate Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie the most. he out of everyone represents everything wrong with SHIELD. He's also weirdly religious. I don't mind that he's religious but he's weirdly religious. At random times in the series he'll debate Christian ethics like he's debating with atheists. (i.e. "How dare you kill that man. Don't you know the good book says to never kill? I don't care that he's a giant blue mutant with knife like dredlocks and he was trying to kill everyone in the city. We're supposed to be better than that.) I hate how SHIELD controls people "for their own good" even though they haven't demonstrated any need to be controlled. Then because SHIELD is interfering with them things happen and suddenly everyone is dangerous and thus SHIELD has been "proven" right.
There's a LOT of fights about things that don't matter in SHIELD but that's just TV for the most part. I hate it and I wish SHIELD didn't do it. For an organization that is so quick to forgive SERIOUS betrayal they certainly hold grudges over minor matters. It's just so inconsistent that it feels engineered to make sure the main characters are never on the same page and always in the midst of strife which is just so bloody unfair.
Time Travel Gave Me New Reasons to Hate SHIELD
SHIELD enters time travel in Season 5 and I'll avoid spoilers but I hate everything about it after they return to the main timeline. In short they go to the future. Things have happened. They return home and now they're trying to change things so that future doesn't happen. In the course of that they have used THREE different understandings of time travel. Each of which is basically incompatible with the others to the point where nothing makes sense. Either the future is set and they can't change it (Then why are you trying, but sure that does mean those of you who saw yourselves in the future are immortal) or the future ISN'T set and you can change it (then WHY WOULD YOU BE INVINCIBLE you were invincible in the original timeline not this skewed one where you traveled to the future) or time is a series of loops which actually makes sense. It allows them to use the future knowledge like they're trying. it allows them to break the loop but again if you're going though cycles like Happy Death Day or The Matrix then each loop could break at any moment and no you are not invincible. I bang on this point because in the time travel arc it become a MAJOR point that based on what they saw some characters will not die so they work to change the future with the understanding that they will not die. Which doesn't make sense.
I have many many issues with Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. and it's in spite of them that I highly recommend it. I don't expect most people will take issue with a government body telling people what to do and where to go. They can buy in without seeing the analogies to real world marginalized people. The cast isn't overly beautiful like Quantico but awesomely diverse in both demographic and character. Watching the movies impact these minor characters in the Marvel universe is fun and it's a testament to the show that it's not the only fun thing.
I'm kinda the other way around most people apparently.
I liked it in the beginning, but near the end of the first season I think it got a bit boring.
Nothing kept me interested, so gave up on it in the start of season 3.
Wildly disappointing on almost every level. Not a single new character is interesting, or even seems like they could be interesting, and the bad acting does not help.
I'd hoped for something on a grander scale, even if just for the pilot, but it felt especially small and confined.
If it wasn't for Coulson and the Marvel banner this would be gone within half a dozen episodes. Having said that "Under the Dome" was apparently the hit of the season and that is absolute rubbish. But like UtD, I just want to know the why. Why/How is Coulson alive? That's it. The credits rolled and that was the only thing that had my interest. I couldn't even remember the other characters names without some effort.
It's not even a case of having such high hopes or putting the idea on a pedestal, it's just a very weak showing.
Agents of S.H.I.T.
I know that was cheap and easy, but unfortunately so is the show :(
actually I think this show is getting better...it is becoming more grittier and darker which I feel is making it more interesting...
I loved watching this series from start to finish. Yes, some people may say the first season wasn't too good, but I loved it. Agents of SHIELD brought real joy to my life over the past few years. I am sad that it came to an end, though the ending very well thought out.
To anyone contemplating on watching this: DO IT.
Gotta love how they embrace their cheesiness in the 4th season or so. Two words “Shotgun Axe” :rofl:. Slow start but worth watching all seasons.
so did Deke blink out of existence?
Nope, that´s it, I´m out. Made it to S03E10 but I can´t stand it any longer. I´m sick of all that twisting and dragging out a plot forever. This show is hitting the reset-repeat button again and again and again. There is rarely something new happening. Plus there really is no need in watching this for some clues into the movies. They are working fine by themselves and the show has it´s own plot anyway.
im not sure what people are expecting from this. it's a really solid show. you're not going to be seeing the superheros, it's not about them. it is also not a big budget hollywood tent pole movie.
i was luke-warm with the first few episodes. the humor is what kept me around. seemed ok to watch while waiting for some other shows to be off short hiatuses. it quickly leaves it's episodic formula though and becomes a cohesive story throughout. yes there is a lot of subterfuge and backstabbing but it's a spy show for christ's sake.
kids and i love this. really fun.
It takes skills to take a fabulous show and completely derail it in less than 20 episodes. Now, we no longer have the team dynamic and chemistry, we also have no S.H.I.E.L.D. How can they call this show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D when S.H.I.E.L.D doesn't even last through the first season? We're only still watching because we're both too stubborn to quit.
1 to 5 was great. Didn't care at all about 5 and 6. Ok finale though.
Most series that last for anywhere near as many seasons as this did often lose their way and become somewhat tragic. Agents of SHEILD on the other hand continually managed to deliver.
Maybe I’m just a massive geek and love everything Marvel, but I loved each and every season of this show!
Tied up wonderfully at the end with Coulson getting his beloved Corvette back! A bit of a shame that we didn’t get a cheeky cameo from Fury though.
Overall, a great series with a rare-to-find good finale (we all know a shitty finale can ruin a whole series for you!).
I hope to see Coulson return to the MCU and it would be nice to see Daisy follow too!
Season 6 is so dumb. The writers are running out of things to write. So they recycle sale characters. And bring the Framework back. Terrible season so far. Maybe it’s time to end this show.
Una bellissima serie TV che segue L' universo cinematico Marvel dagli occhi dello shield ed I suoi agenti principali
The first and second seasons of AOS were fantastic. I was so pleased to see "normal" people in a world gone mental over "superheroes". Then they had to go and screw it up, well, I couldn't keep watching after they destroyed the essence of the show. So sad, because it had such promise.
If you are considering watching it then you should. It does start out slow but watch the first season to get context. The seasons just get better and develop the characters well. You get a lot of story along with background into the current Marvel movies. Definitely give it a chance. #ShiftvW8
@majormercyflush Maybe if you actually watched the rest of the show you would find out why he is alive. The show starts off pretty slow and only really gets great midway through the first season. Then it is pretty damn good.
i love avanger of s.h.i.e.l.d.
I don't get why this show is hyped up. I find it incredibly boring. It's nothing like the S.H.I.E.L.D in the comics.
I enjoy that it continues on the story built-up in the Avengers 1.0 movies. However, I agree with w2m - it's cheesy and cheap. It smells WAY too much like an ABC show, instead of a Marvel show. Disney is missing out on a fantastic opportunity here....
10/10
The perfect ending doesn’t exi…….
What a ride! I feel part of the shield family. Best superhero show ever created. Lost for words. Don’t know what to say, except: watch this now!!!
Must say that I am happy with the final episode. All of season 6 around bad-guy version of Coulson was b.s. and there were definitely some dreadfully bad episodes, but also several pretty cool ones. Overal not a bad series and one of the better Marvel series.
Has many more clunker episodes than crackers. Very disappointing and not worthy of a repeat viewing.
Miss this show so bad!
Finally completed this show. I have mixed feelings about this one, Season 1 was great then it started to go downhill. but I kept watching it. Season 6 was worst of all 7 seasons and imo the last season was best of all 7 seasons.
Much like endgame I came away let down and feeling like it was just ok. So much was out of character and a ton was just tossed together that I was really disappointed.
i should be sad that the show is now over, but after 7 seasons i'm just burned out and glad its over. started out rather meh, got better during the middle seasons and then devolved into jumping the shark too many times, with characters dying only to be brought back through some deus ex machina
Au revoir my friend! You will be greatly missed.
innovative fun sci-fi fantasy not much depth a 6 beer show for sure
Essa sexta temporada está uma vergonha de ruim.
Precisam trazer uma trama bem feita igual da 4 temporada urgente.
Marvels best tv show. Bring it back please
Wasnt sure when i started the season, but have just watched 16 episodes in one day, ending with this one. and yep its going to be straight to Season 2 for me.
so did Deke blink out of exicstence?
Wow, what a great show Watched season 3/4 for a while, then gave up because there were so many plot shifts. Show really went to hell when everyone started dating eachother. . I wouldn't even bother to watch this again. Find a better show, obviously it doesn't live up to my standards of tv. (watch something like Mr. Robot instead).
I like this marvel series.
When is it coming back
season 4 was the best
first season was shit before Hydra came in, second was ok/kinda good, the inhumans were good but the outside afterlife plot is so boring I skipped most of the episodes, after a while even the afterlife gets boring, this show lost me
I'm bout it! Netflix and Chill...#kodi&kuddle too!
I'm bout it! Netflix and Chill... Kodi and Cuddle too!
agents of shield (2013)
season 4 episode 9
released on Jan 10, 2017
not Dec 13, 2016
please fix this
In preparation for season four, I'm watching the first three seasons in order via Netflix. A little more than two episodes a day and I should be ready for the season premiere on September 20th,
(I'm also watching all the Netflix series in preparation for the September 30 series premiere of Luke Cage.)
The pinnacle and finale to S3 is the most exceptional and TV's entertaining piece of artwork. Well deserving series.
love it a lot.yea
i ve just done series 1, and I m entirely absorbed in it, literally! LOVE Skye!
I struggled through season 1, season 2 was much MUCH better and looking forward to season 3!
It's a pretty good show, starts off a little bit slow, doesn't have the best character building, yet, it's like watching behind the scenes of the bigger movies. The episodes go over what was happening during the avengers and ultron, what was happening to the entirety of shield when everything was going down, we don't get to this stuff in the movies and it's amazing to see and a whole new perspective to it how shield managed to come back up again.
Awesome show... Hope they would keep the spark alive...

"I go on living no life, she lives a full one and doesn't age? How is this possible?"
Shits getting serious xD
Malditos Check-in no sirven o que es la verga pues???
how do i fucken work it?
I don't know what they want to do with this first episode, but I will wait and see the evolution ;)
Come on! The Red poster was very cool! Who replaced it with the boring old season 1 poster on tvdb or trakt??
started bad, vary bad, but the show started to grow on me more to the end of first season when they left the episodic formula and started to have a clear arc.
Lets hope season 2 ramps the story line up quickly as season 1 was very average.
很棒,希望我们的菲兹好起来,科学家宝宝很伤心。
Can't wait for season 2 xD
It is easy to watch and charismatic actors. The first half of season 1 was really good, than they tried to make too many turns and plots for one season. But still, a lot better than Arrow.
where are the special effects ?????
I really like the superhero movies and really loved the movie with all of the marvel superheros together..as far as the tv show it is just ok... I kept going back and forth with it. It down' have a lot of actual super heroes in it. I didn't get really interested in it until the agent double crossed them. I will give it another chance IF it is picked up next fall but I am not so sure it will be..
If you stick with it, it's not a horrible show. It certainly has some ABC cheesiness, especially with some of the lines they spit out. Some of the plot points are weak, at best, as well. But after all that being said, its fairly watchable. They do a good enough job with the first season, as a whole, to feel complete, plus it gets bonus points for being in the Marvel universe and working with the movies.
If they could cut the season down to ~12 episodes it would be much higher on the 'must watch' scale but, as is, it sits at 'worth the watch if you like the Marvel universe movies'.
Muy buena serie para ver
Renewed for season 2 yess!! Cant say i'm surprised love this show!
I really tried hard to like this show but after 5 or 6 episodes I gave up. The acting is poor and the scripts are dull. I like superheros a lot but I couldn't stand more of this series.
Some said that the second half is getting better but I can't remember anything from the episodes I watched because it was dreadful.
It could have been something great...

One of the best series out there! Highly Recommended!
