As an Avengers fan, I would consider my self slightly impressed, but would expect Joss Whedon to raise the bar a little higher.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D has great writing, effects and production. The casting seems great, it just needs more feeling from the acting and direction. I.e. - a little more color from the characters. Would like some more character background, but expect we will get that in upcoming episodes.

The first episode had a great story-line, it seemed to setup episode 2 perfectly.

A great start - I'm looking forward to episode 2.
