Agents of SHIELD leaves a lot to be desired.

Agents of SHIELD leaves a lot to be desired.
I feel like asking my friends if they are doing anything for New Years, but at the sametime I feel like just staying home all day.
Is SHIELD any good? It doesn't look anything like what I'd want from a SHIELD TV series from the bits I've seen.
I never found S.H.I.E.L.D. that interesting in comics, didn't see reason to try to follow the show
Coulson doesn't help either
Yeah, I think you really see the momentum and progression build effectively and quickly this way.Some shows are best taken in by gulps, not sips, lol. That is one of them.![]()
What kind of villains does it have? It just seemed like a bunch of good looking ultra-styled (just-out-of) high school kids trying hard to act in an organisation in which they have no business being in.I think it's been so-so so far. The stories aren't all too engaging. The characters to me, outside of Coulson and May, aren't interesting either. And fight choreography leaves a lot to be desired compared to a show like Arrow.
Sorry, the Marvel one. Didn't know about the cop show. I didn't see Sons of Anarchy either but quite a few people have recommended it.Which SHIELD? The Marvel one or the cop show? I was talking about the cop show The Shield which is where Kurt Sutter, the writer for Sons of Anarchy cut his teeth. That show was about bad cops and it was great. I don't watch the Marvel one but my sister really likes it.

Yep like I desired to watch a good show... but then I watch AoS.![]()
Well none of this is helping SHIELD's chances of getting seen by me.I never found S.H.I.E.L.D. that interesting in comics, didn't see reason to try to follow the show

t:Haha, I think that seals the deal. Looks pretty unanimous.Let's just say it. It's got all the quality of a homeschool play.

Edit: I meant to say high school play, but my tablet changed it to homeschool. Apparently it's more critical if the show than I am.

Then do so. You might enjoy yourself.

Well he said he was doing things with family, so I won't go unless he begs me or if my other friends go. It might just be me, but going to a family gathering as a friend would sorta be awkward.
I say wait till it gains more seasons and binge watch it. But there are a handful of shows on TV right now that I find more entertaining.
LOLs.Let's just say it. It's got all the quality of a homeschool play.

Both shows are good if you like dark and gritty, lol.Sorry, the Marvel one. Didn't know about the cop show. I didn't see Sons of Anarchy either but quite a few people have recommended it.

Me, too which was why I was tempted to watch the show but there are too many others I'd rather see right now. Maybe it was for the best that I skipped it.I like Coulson though.
Why did they want to put a school vibe to the whole thing at all? If anything I would have wanted it to be grittier than what happens in the films. The underground spy stuff that doesn't get released to the public where the main characters have questionable methods and aren't so obviously good guys. And the characters should look hardened from the things they've done rather than fresh out of a salon.The show does basically feel like two supervisors with their school kids on a field trip. We got the origin of a very powerful comic villain, though he's yet to make his return with his powers. Otherwise we've got suits and secret organizations trying to create super soldiers.
The show is a lot more restricted than Arrow, as everyone and everything that gets introduced on the show, automatically becomes part of the whole MCU. But that's not really the problem. The issue is simply that it's not very well written, and at times feels too kiddy, with 3 members of the team that are pretty much green and not accustomed to field missions.
Yeah I'll be waiting, and I'll only be binge-watching or watching at all if it turns out to be awesome one day. Only have so much life to waste! What are you watching at the moment?I say wait till it gains more seasons and binge watch it. But there are a handful of shows on TV right now that I find more entertaining.

Wow, thought I was the only one who watched that much, lol. I watch Sons of A, Hannibal, Walking Dead, Major Crimes, Blacklist, Game of Thrones, True Blood, The Following, Vikings, Justified, Hell on Wheels, Coven, Ray Donovan, Homeland. Plus I am thinking of picking up True Detectives and Penny Dreadful, whenever that starts. I watch too much, lol......I've been binging The West Wing for the past month or so.
Other than that I watch: The Daily Show w/ J. Stewart, The Colbert Report, Late Night w/ J. Fallon, Arrow, Grimm, AHS: Coven, The Americans, HIMYM, Community, AoS, The Walking Dead, South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, SNL, The Goldbergs, Bones, Sleepy Hollow, Elementary, Sherlock, Almost Human, Dracula, Hannibal, Bates Motel, and I think that's everything.
Wow that is a lot! I struggle to keep track of just the few shows I try and watch.I've been binging The West Wing for the past month or so.

You need that thing from Batman Forever to hardwire your brain directly into your TV.It's not enough. I need to watch more!

You ever watch The Americans? Looking at your list I think you would enjoy it.
