The show started out not really knowing what it was, the fight scenes were average at best, the acting was corny and the plots were boring to say the least and the show over all felt very campy. I stuck with it though mostly because I was holding on to the slightest glimmer of hope that this might be rectified (which never happens). To my great surprise however, that's exactly what happened, the show started to find some real direction. the actors started to properly portray there characters and the directors decided to rid the show of the campy feel they originally went for. It gave some awesome insight in the second half of the first season to what was happening behind the scenes of shield in winter soldier and finished the fist season on a pretty high note. When the second season began, the show had really found its stride and really began to show some real depth in the characters. I can't really say too much more without spoiling it but if you're someone who tried to watch it and gave up a few episodes in, or if you heard a lot of bad things and could never bring yourself to check it out, I can not stress enough that you really have to give this show a second chance. If you're a fan of the MCU as a whole then I think you'll be glad you did.
