Marvel's Agents of SHIELD: opinions?

So who's watched the new TV show? I did, all 5 episodes (so far) and I have to say i'm HIGHLY disappointed. I've really enjoyed the 7 Marvel movies so far, so I was expecting something great, and I just happen to find it... cheap. I just can't get to believe that this group of buffoons is part of the world's deadliest, most efficient superspying organization. I just can't believe in these ridiculous action sequences (the south american rebels attacks in E2... come on gimme a break!), I just can't believe that Agent Coulson would go on a dangerous rescue mission in E3... in a goddamn suit with a tie (come on gimme a break!), I just can't believe SHIELD hires hackers that just came out of the blue and gives them access to classified information just like that because they think they're... nice! This is gross and it all looks like a cheap 90's action series with it's "monster of the week" and almost no continuous subplots so far. This is unacceptable in 2013 after we've had so many great series. It should have been deep, it should have been sophisticated, it should have been much more realistic and much more darker (despite the humor, Marvel movies have all been on the edge of darkness in some ways), it should have been better than The 4400 and Heroes, but it's 10 times below the level of these series (which, on the other hand, I really enjoyed). I'm gonna keep watching because it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I wanna know what's happening in it, but God it's so boring sad

Nonetheless, reviews so far have been quite enthusiastic so I'm wondering... is it just ME or does it really suck?

Same dude bothers me....in the movies as well. I can't ever get past him being Old Christine's ex-husband (and new Christine's current husband).

I like Phil on the show and thats about it. Ming-na wen looks bored like always and honestly if any of the other cast members left the show no one would really care. They really need to add some heroes to the show (and they need to be in their super hero out fit).

yep its pretty bad. maybe they should have agents that are more familiar to us. i say keep Coulson and replace the current agents with known ones. bring in the villain Mentallo who was a former member etc.

It's okay so far. If it wasn't connected to the Marvel movies, I probably wouldn't watch it though.

I've been trying to like this show, but so far it's a real disapointment. Agent Coulson is okay, but his supporting cast is either annoying (like the two science geeks) or has the personality of cardboard. Plus the villains have been wasted in developing their potential for mayhem. Last week's episode was really disappointing in that they could have had a potential X-Men type character but wasted him on a plot involving rogue science experiments. If anything, the villains on The Blacklist are more compelling and should be the ones on S.H.I.E.L.D.

I said before this show aired that for it to succeed it would need actual superheroes to make special appearances.

I think that Coulson is okay but not crazy about the others. I watched 3 eps so far and no depth to the characters plus it seems nobody writes decent dialog anymore.

I'll try to stick it out a little longer....hope springs eternal. lol

I think Nickelodeon when I've watched it, which I've only managed 2 episodes and since they're keeping why Coulson is still alive a secret I don't think I'll hang with it.

So it seems every one is anonymous in saying that it's crap eek

How could they be THAT mistaken?

How could ABC greenlight 22 episodes?

How long b4 the show is canceled?

im surprised it hasnt been cancelled already. ive seen a little bit of the unaired NBC Wonder Woman pilot and it seemed to be pretty bad also but the CWs Arrow is pretty good. Maybe Marvel should go with a Punisher or Daredevil series on the FX or Starz network.
