I give this show a solid 8.5, though I rate it as 10 to possibly offset the reviews made based on the first half of the first season. To know what I think, I consider Game of Thrones to be the only 10, because it is probably as good as a TV show can get.

The 7.5 score this show currently has probably lives up to the rating... if the score is based on the first 10 or so episodes. The show started off bland and clichéd. The first couple episodes were interesting, and had fun character interactions. But they began to bore really fast as I got accustomed to their personalities. The substance didn't really help at all, because the main plot point didn't seem to go anywhere.

However, the show really kicks off at the start of the second half of the first season. The show's plot line didn't rely on the main MCU movies. It offers a nod to the main movies, but the show operates almost independently from whatever is going on in the movies. So even if you are not a big Marvel fan, you can still enjoy the show without knowing much of the movies.

The show gets even better in the second, third, and fourth seasons as the show adds new characters and develops existing ones. The boring dynamics of the first couple episodes develop into something great.

Along with excellent CGI and action sequences, there's rarely a dull moment in each of the episodes.
