then driving over the remains with a big truck with 4 more Marvel TV series being lined up - http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/marvel/27711/four-new-...
My god...
Almost as unbelievable is that the term 'success' is being attached to Agents Of Shield!
As has been said...this show is formulaic "villian of the week" guff. Coulsen's character, whilst being an amusing aside in the films, isn't good enough to carry a whole TV series IMHO.

I think it's rubbish but I've watched it all so far in the hope that suddenly it won't be.

The scene with Coulson jumping out of the boat in a full suit made me laugh.
The red dress made me rewind.
Still seem to be going with the villan of the week model. I actually expected the boss bloke to end up in the Gravitonium so we had an "Evil Tony Stark" character to play with.
The final scene did kinda hint at that.The red dress made me rewind.

I think they have to do that villain of the week thing in the first few episodes to get the characters established. Im giving it time and giving it the benefit of the doubt as its only just started and needs time to develop. Their has been quite a few things hinted at during the first few episode that hint at interesting character development.
The 'formula' sort of reminds me of NCIS which is one of the top shows on TV at the moment, obviously these programs are going to be full of tropes, and Coulson's character does hit at the same 'leader' characteristics as Gibbs,
also the veteran, the tough guy, the outsider, the science geeks does match up with NCIS. (or if you will 'the A-team')
I expect a more long term story arc to appear over the next several episodes. As previously stated this seems to be how JW works. Establish the characters first, then build the story.
Personally I think it's getting better with each episode. I have just watched the first few minutes of this weeks episode and looks good again, also filming in Stockholm shows they weren't scrimping on the budget.

I watched the first 3 episodes yesterday having not got round to it so far...
I thoroughly enjoyed it! After seeing some of the comments on here I wasn't expecting much, but I thought was great.
It's fun, doesn't seem to take itself too seriously and is only just getting going.
Nothing groundbreaking, obviously, but it held my attention for all 3 eps and was a decent waste a of a couple of hours

Exactly. I really don't get the people complaining - it's a Marvel show, on at 8pm. It's clearly meant to be lighthearted and fun.
I enjoy it for what it is, fun. That's why I also enjoy watching Smallville, Arrow, Beauty and the Beast etc.
Enjoyable, watchable fun.
I seem to recall all the above were on around 5pm, not 8pm on Friday nights!I enjoy it for what it is, fun. That's why I also enjoy watching Smallville, Arrow, Beauty and the Beast etc.

JW like to spin a season long arc, and after last weeks episode I think we're seeing the beginning of one. I'm enjoying it, it's light hearted, and may last more than 2 series, may not. But will enjoy the ride.

But it is TV, not a film!
No comparison!!
2 sentences, 3 exclamation marks - I must be doing well No comparison!!
Same character, working for the same agancy, set in the same 'universe'...it screams 'comparison'.
The fact that it isn't comparable is probably why there is so much disappointment.
