Wildly disappointing on almost every level. Not a single new character is interesting, or even seems like they could be interesting, and the bad acting does not help.
I'd hoped for something on a grander scale, even if just for the pilot, but it felt especially small and confined.
If it wasn't for Coulson and the Marvel banner this would be gone within half a dozen episodes. Having said that "Under the Dome" was apparently the hit of the season and that is absolute rubbish. But like UtD, I just want to know the why. Why/How is Coulson alive? That's it. The credits rolled and that was the only thing that had my interest. I couldn't even remember the other characters names without some effort.
It's not even a case of having such high hopes or putting the idea on a pedestal, it's just a very weak showing.

@majormercyflush It's funny the only negative reviews I see obviously haven't watched past the second half of season 1. Just when it starts to get good. Shame you gave up on it so soon.
I'm allergic to time jumps back and forth, back and forth and this movie has a lot of it and it ruins the movie completely, and they really have removed a lot of story. Especially noticeable after having watched the 3h miniseries and the movie from 1994 in the last month.

@psonnosp Agree. Had I not already known the story and the characters from the 90's version, I'd be hella confused, esp when you couldn't tell if the time difference was 7 years or 2 years bc no one aged at all throughout the timeline.
