basically my thoughts throughout. wasn't going in with high hopes but figured i'd at least watch the first cause if whedons gonna have much to do with it you would think it would be in episode 1. shit was pretty corn. not that the corn wasn't pretty but the corn was corn. theres like twenty seconds in which nothing is done but moving from person to person going from grimace to smirk and it's rather laughable. but ppl who liked the movie i guess may like this, reviews were decent enough. clocking out, clocking back over to the cw

This is the only time I cracked a smile. Show was the worst/stupidest thing I've ever seen. Hacker chick is smoking hot though.

Scene would be great for parodying. I started daydreaming and imagining guys like Andy Samberg and Bill Hader exchanging facial expressions that got increasingly more ridiculous and emotive, going on for a good three minutes.

Pretty decent so far. First episode was good. Second was ok at best. Was hoping I'd get more mutant action.

This is Whedon going full Whedon-tard. Two strong female leads, male leads aren't very manly. Good action and snarky dialogue.

A shadowy government agency responsible for international security is populated almost exclusively by kids who stepped out of an Abercrombie catalog. A girl barely old enough to drink who lives in a van is able to hack into the agency using her laptop. None of the jokes are funny, and the action is about as engaging as what you'd see in a WWF match. Cliches every other scene/line of dialogue. A plot that doesn't make sense and characters who you want to die (including Coulson, who I liked in the movies but who has been turned into an annoying asshole by the show).

I was expecting something halfway intelligent, but this is a joke. It's like a children's Saturday morning cartoon filmed in live action.

Show is fucking horrible except hacker chick is hot. If I never see another "Movie" hacker again it will be too soon. Like Combo said everyone is so unlikable. The plots are stupid even by comic book standards. Action is bad and I don't understand how. The CW pulls of much better action scenes in the TVD and Arrow with maybe 20 percent of the budget of this.

The main dude I have seen him other shit and normally like him but on this he is almost trying to hard and you can see why he normally gets 3 lines an hour instead of a lead. The tough guy sucks balls and is a charisma black hole.

Should we pretend to be surprised when it's revealed that the Coulson in this show is a clone, and that the actual Coulson did in fact die in The Avengers?

Thought the last episode was a big step up from the first two, by the way. Guess I can't ditch the show yet.

I saw that the reviews seemed to be turning around about this show so I marathoned this wkend.

I definitely agree with most of the problems people had with it from jump. It does seem to be getting a bit better though. It'll be interesting to see how they tie it in to the new Cap movie since it will be so SHIELD-centric.

I gotta say though, hot or not, that Skye character is pretty terrible. I hope she gets written off sometime in the near future.

Grant aint that great either to be honest. The Centipede arc has been pretty cool though. If they can keep ramping up the intrigue on that, they might have some solid footing.

It will be VERY interesting to juxtapose the rollout of this show with the other shows Marvel will be doing on Netflix.

This started out so poor, but finished kind of mediocre. Hopefully Season 2 is not so timid about that Marvel Universe hotness.

They need to figure out which secondary villains they aren't going to use in the movies any time soon and use them for some name recognition.
