I'll preface my opinions about Agents of Shield by saying that I'm a huge Marvel comics fan and have been from a very early age. I'm also extraordinarily fond of the MCU. I adore Coulson in the movies. All that being said, watching Agents of Shield, and I've watched every episode to date, has been torture. It is literally painful for me to watch. It's not quite as bad this season as it was in the first, if only because they've picked up the pace and they've packed every episode with lots of tidbits that cause me to reflect on my knowledge of the comic and movie verses. As for Coulson, I don't know who the man in the series is, even his body language has changed and yes they've explained all that ad nauseam, but it doesn't work for me. Still I watched because I'm a completionist at heart and I love the tiny little bits of info that allow me to speculate where they're going and how it ties in to other things etc. In conclusion let me say this, I've watched all the Highlander movies and none of them have been as painful to watch as AoS is and we both know how bad some of the HL movies are. As always you're mileage might vary. (Please note that I've said nothing about the relationships on AoS because, yeah, they work even less for me then the series as a whole.)
