This show is very good especially if you are a fan of the Marvel superhero movies.

I am a fan of Marvel, and just about everything they've produced since the first Iron-Man came into the scene. However, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gets off to a rocky start. They have access to just about everything Marvel has, but the show doesn't utilize these assets in its first go around. Phil is back and leading a new team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and does his best to go through the missions he and his team have before him. There is a lot of hidden plot points as the show progresses and it tries to keep your interest, but the development does take its time to get to it. As the MCU movies progressed, you get to see why the show had to have a slow start. Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier yet, but after this movie was released and we all found out that HYDRA was behind the scenes in running S.H.I.E.L.D. the show took off into a more understandable stance. HYDRA went down after Captain America and thus affected the show. So as season 2 of Agents gets underway, we get to see a better show with more interesting plots to it. More villains and characters are expected. So the show will pickup steam in the second season. So I recommend watching the first season to get to know the characters.

Agents of SHIELD is a great TV show. Yes, it does take a couple of episodes to get into to it, but once you're hooked, you'll enjoy watching it. This blu-ray set includes complete first season and some pretty cool special features.It's definitely worth your time and money, especially if you like Marvel movies like Iron Man, The Avengers, and Captain America. Pro tip: I would recommend anyone who hasn't seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier to watch it after episode 16 of Agents of SHIELD. After episode 17 the show will probably spoil major plots of the movie.

If you'd have told me 10 years ago that we would get a major TV show based on SHIELD agents, I'd have called you crazy. Yet here we are, and Agents of SHIELD is a perfect tie in for those waiting patiently between Marvel movies. Granted, the first season starts off a little slow and formulaic, but it starts to grow into its own. By the second season, it is banging on all cylinders. The first series remains important not because of the Marvel references, but because of the character building done throughout. Every character matters, and every one seems to have a satisfying arc. I can't recommend this series enough, especially for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. #ItsAllConnected

this was a fairly good type of series with good to fair actors. The leader of Shield Agent Colson was a bit tight at times, but generally believable. Melinda May was very good as the stoic agent who was shown to the end to be one of the most solid agents in the series. She was at times put off but that was her character. Grant Ward was sort of a mystery, because it was not clear until the very end who's side he belonged. Kind of a weak anti-hero type. The twins Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons were perfect for their roles. Skye was terrific for her part as the computer hacker. But she was may be really too young for the part and not nerdy enough. However, those eyes were a killer. In the Shield survived with the help of Samuel Jackson, who you forgot was a Marvel character. Would have been better if he played a larger role. He is such a imposing figure and takes over the scene when he appears.
