I just recently finished season one. I´ll have to admit had I watched it at the original airdate I probably wouldn´t have made it past episode five. But since so many people said it would become better I continued.
It looks cool, the action is good but althought beeing part of the MCU it felt more like watching Fringe or X-files most episodes. It is missing the real superheroes. Maybe it was never supposed to have them but after watching the movies it feels like that.
From the main characters only Coulson is really great. His story, the mystery surrounding him, is what drives this show so far. I also liked Mae but the rest are weak. Skye is an arrogant I-know-it-better-typ and that kind of wunderkind has been overdone. Ward is the stereotype muscle. I disliked him even before he turned out to be a traitor. And that romantic arc between Skye and Ward was on the wall from episode one And don´t get me started about Fitz/Simmons because they feel more like something from a Disney kids show.
The scripts became better towards the end, more cohesive, but I also must say the villain(s) left a lot to be desired. It´s always the take-over-the-world type with little depth.
That is my assessment after the first season. I haven´t yet watched the rest so please don´t spoil. Maybe some of the things I mentioned will change later on.
Cool it's my favorite tv-show
I have mixed feelings about this season.
The characters are so far pretty one dimensional so I find it hard to care about or relate to any of the characters in the show. Ward is this tough muscle guy with a typical villain origin story, Skye is supposed to be this competent main girl but instead she sounds like an arrogant person who thinks she is better than everyone else most of the time, Fitz and Simmons act like those typical Disney sidekicks, they are way too animated and impulsive which I sometimes find annoying, and May... I'm not sure what she is doing cuz I feel like the show is trying too hard to make her a badass, and I suppose she also has a backstory but all she does right now is blink slowly and clench her teeth when she talks, and it just comes off as bad acting.
The acting overall is not too good, especially the acting of the extras/guest stars, but what really put me off is how cringy some of the dialogues and scenes are, and I thought about dropping the show couple of times but the story and the dialogues started getting better towards the end of the season and I actually enjoyed some of the later episodes despite the forced and lazily done twists, which is why I'll still watch season 2.
