The main cast is amazing, the character development in this show is one step below Breaking Bad (as good as you can get). The CGI starts off OK but it gets almost movie-like from the second season. The stories and plot-lines all make sense in their universe and they never over- complicate things: the agents will always take decisions based on their knowledge and feelings, and the others react accordingly. If you feel like the first 8 or so episodes are sluggish, know for certainty that they do not reflect the quality of the REST of the show, but follow a different structure for a reason tied in with the plot (that is revealed to the audience in the 1st season).

A must-view for Marvel fans and a sturdy "give it a try" to fans of drama (more precisely, spy-like secret agencies that control the world from the shadows).
