The first season was rough. 20 plus episodes and you're wondering what the hell, when does this get Marvel worthy. Get through it, get to season two and it's so good. If you don't like it after that you just won't. I've seen all episodes, all seasons twice. Director Colson is a great character, they all are after you get into it. They make some extremely out there episodes that just wouldn't work normally, but s.h.i.e.l.d did it well. I think it's a classic for our time.
