Clark Gregg schlüpft nach dem Kinoerfolg „The Avengers" erneut in seine Rolle als Agent Phil Coulson, der zusammen mit einer auserwählten kleinen Gruppe als Strafverfolgungs-Organisation S.H.I.E.L.D. den Kampf gegen das Böse aufnimmt. Die Serie schließt an den Kinofilm an und beginnt nach dem Angriff auf New York, der die Existenz von Superhelden und Außerirdischen unter Beweis gestellt hat. Nachdem Agent Coulson scheinbar durch Loki ermordet wurde, kehrt er zu S.H.I.E.L.D. zurück, um ein neues Team zusammenzustellen. Die Aufgabe der geheimen Einheit besteht darin, übernatürliche Bedrohungen auf der Erde zu untersuchen und die Menschen zu schützen. (Verleiher-Text)

Das MCU ist für mich nur dahingehend Unterhaltung, als man sich da mit dem Golden Age beschäftigt. Wir haben also hier den ersten Cap-Film und alles, was mit Agent Carter zu tun hat. Ich muss über die Karriere von Adrianne Palicki einfach lachen. Sie durchlief bei DC Smallville und zwei Fails zum Thema Aquaman und Wonder Woman und fasste schließlich überraschenderweise bei der Konkurrenz Fuß.

Die erste Staffel hat sympathisch angefangen. Dann kamen einige Folgen, die zwar ein bisschen verlegen waren, aber trotzdem Spaß gemacht haben. Etwa seit der siebten Folge hatte ich an der Serie kaum was auszusetzten. Das Einzige, womit ich nicht besonders zufrieden bin, ist das Finale (d. h. die letzten zwei Folgen). Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass es ein bisschen nachlässig gemacht wurde… Ich habe nicht mehr Actionszenen erwartet, sondern mehr Emotionen. Agent Coulson ist ein cooler Kerl, die Serie hat Nick Fury und Stan Lee und sie nimmt nicht alles ernst. Dreieinhalb.___PS: Ich muss die Autoren für eine ziemlich radikale Verwandlung einer Hauptfigur loben, welche nicht nur mich wirklich überrascht hat. Ich hoffe, dass es kein Drehbuchschwindel war. Das wird sich erst in der zweiten Staffel zeigen.___Die zweite Staffel ist sensationell. Ihr Finale ist super und vor allem Kyle MacLachlan hat tolle Sachen gezeigt. Ich traue mich nicht zu raten, wie sich die dritte Staffel entwickeln wird.

Season 1 – 100% – For someone who feels right at home with comic books, explores the interconnectedness of the Marvel universe every day before going to sleep, and worships Joss Whedon as a guru, the pilot episode was a ticket to paradise. In the shoes of the newcomer Skye, I peeked behind the curtain of the Avengers and saw nothing less than an excellent blend of tension, adventure, great characters, unexpected guests, and the feeling that I am truly part of everything. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately became an underestimated event, which becomes even more unforgettable with the twists connected to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Season 2 – 90% – The initial surprises and twists that unfolded within S.H.I.E.L.D. and the looming Hydra were difficult to overcome. The direction that Jed Whedon and Co. took at the beginning, with the introduction of special abilities, a new race, Skye's origins, and everything around it, was a brilliant idea. This way, the Agents can firmly settle into the world of TV shows and interconnect and alternate between both worlds. And yet I have a minor complaint regarding the new characters – Mack, Hunter, and Bobbi – who came on the scene quite aggressively. Until that point, the events on the bus felt tight-knit and almost familial, and it took me a while to get used to the broader scope (even though it was entirely understandable due to Coulson's new role). I am grateful for every viewer who enjoys the show because I see the potential for many seasons ahead, especially with strong performers like Kyle MacLachlan, whose Calvin steals the entire series. Season 3 – 90% – Earthshaking. Whether it's comic book-related, with events constantly changing the game, or character-related, with Quake/Daisy/Skye as a flawed but admirably strong leader, this season has a lot to offer. Jed Whedon and the Maurissa Tancharoen and family have written an impressive amount of material this year, giving us true adventures (with everything related to the unknown planet), spy drama (the episode Parting Shot), and an unexpectedly dark odyssey with an enemy that sheds light on Hydra's origins. And since development of supporting characters is not overlooked, it's decided – AoS is a staple reinforced by numerous unexpected renewals. I desperately hope this won't be the last time this year that ABC has been this generous. Season 4 – 90% – Diabolical books, intangible beings, Ghost Rider, androids, dream worlds, and in the end, so much entertainment that I can't keep up with my eyes. Agents is operating at such a murderous pace that I can barely catch my breath during each episode. I can't help but admire how carefully they lay the groundwork for each story arc long before it truly begins. Most of the participants are genuinely amazing actors, and Iain De Caestecker, who may have been underestimated, handles each layer of his character with such finesse that he deserves an Emmy nomination as much as any actor in a more praised series. The fact that critics, and inexplicably viewers as well, keep snubbing Agents in proportion to their quality only makes me hold them closer to my heart. Season 5 – 90% – A space journey enhanced by a persistent enemy race, time games, and a clearly modest budget that turned necessary evil in the form of endless corridors into a storytelling asset. Even in its fifth year, the show manages to excel in details (the perfect 100th episode, Enoch, Ruby, the sophisticated games with gravitonium) as well as in its entirety. The final episode, despite my relief that it's not the absolute finale, ranks among the gems of television history. Season 6 – 85% – A return that was unwelcome for some and miraculous for others. During the longer break between seasons, the show settled even deeper in the hearts of its viewers, and I was cautiously afraid of new adventures that inevitably hinted at the departure of some beloved characters. Luckily, there was no reason to worry. In terms of ratings, it may be the weakest season, but it is still packed with action, emotions coming from unexpected directions, and all the ingredients I have been longing to see. Perhaps the antagonistic side seems somewhat interchangeable this time, but the season finale works as a captivating enticement for the ultimate farewell. Season 7 – 100% – Even greater doses of meta humor than ever before, surprising and expected returns, desired reveals, and the wildest way of traveling that Zephyr has ever experienced. I hold the first season dear with everlasting nostalgia, but the last season is the only one that can truly compare to it. I understand that for some people, the mood changes and special episodes may have been too much, but I have no words for the noir, the time loop, 80s songs, and especially for the finale. I can't understand how this show managed to last for seven seasons, really. The audience already fled long ago after there were no more explicit connections to the movie universe. But for those who remained, the reward is the sweetest.

Whedon delivered on his promise. In other words an episodic popcorn movie (brain in off-line mode essential) from a world where the Avengers are running about “somewhere off round the corner". With traditional Whedonesque dialogs and the traditional Whedonesque lack of story. Which is unpleasant shock; and it’s what sinks the series before it even set sail; it’s a simple fact that at best all the characters are uninteresting and at worst should be strung up. How they managed to put together such a priceless symbiosis of amateur non-acting and annoyingly written characters. And this is a fundamental problem for a series whose only concept is to be a pleasant relax for the whole (American) family. It all stands on Coulson’s shoulders, but while in movies he appears for barely five minutes and so his one-dimensional übercool wisecracking pose works, in a series where it’s mainly him, you soon have enough of the same pose all the time and after a couple of episodes it starts really getting on your nerves.

Pilot: The first series this year that I didn’t find utterly disappointing. The combination of Whedon’s playfulness and Marvel fun works again. We haven’t got to know the characters much, but in any case Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. looks better than most of today’s hurried competing series. Let’s hope it lasts. The plot isn’t so surprising or original (even though I thought that about Luke Cage), but it works for the introductions. The ending with Lola was enjoyable and I hope at least for a Cameo by the Capo or by Fury. Season one: What the...? I haven’t seen such an erratically made series in a long time. The middle part was just stuffing made up of regurgitated missions that disappointed fans and forced the creators to try harder and to hire better screenwriters. The turning point comes with the second Capo who completely rehashed everything we are used to and who makes the show about 50% better watching (adding up to today’s 67%) and serves us up some marvelous B-movie action with outrageously cheesy lines and frequent over-acting that reaches an extreme in the last episode. The effort put into going somewhere with the concept and having a second season approved is visible. That’s why it has begun to be very powerful. I had shivers down my spine during the last scene, so maybe it’s a god omen for the episodes to come.Season two: doesn’t play about and offers the best undemanding entertainment on TV. The Hydra and the Inhumans are entertaining and the ending surprises us with an interesting outcome to almost all of the storylines. Even Ward is put to good use. The finale scene leaves marvelous bait, let’s have more of that. I look forward to what comes next. Secret Avengers?
