Andrea Towers Entertainment Weekly 12/26/2018
As a show that bridged the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the world of primetime TV, S.H.I.E.L.D. was at its strongest when it could incorporate high-profile guest stars who added to the story. Go to Full Review Maricela Gonzalez Entertainment Weekly 12/26/2018
I have my reservations, but I see potential for the series - as long as it establishes a consistent tone and mood. In any case, you can be damn well sure I'll be watching next week. Go to Full Review David Sims AV Club 08/02/2018

Bennet is a fun actress. Outside of Gregg, she's doing the best with the snarky Whedony dialogue, which can sound very clunky coming out of the wrong actor. Go to Full Review Anthony Ocasio Screen Rant 02/04/2019
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has done much to right itself this year, and for that they should absolutely be commended. Go to Full Review Kate Brooks TV Fanatic 08/02/2018

Lucho G Aug 22 I miss this show. It's 1000x better than Phase 5 MCU shows. See more Salzan B Aug 21 Crazy to think how much better this show is when compared to the new Marvel Studios Disney+ shows. See more Lavish C Jul 28 Very teeny and kind of comedic, it feels like a Disney YA comedic drama. 3/4 of the team are young adults. It seems that in the entirety of the US there's not one single adult who's good enough in any of those fields to become a SHIELD operative. So ridiculous, implausible, and annoying (because most of the cast is just insufferable). See more Luca G Jul 23 INCREDIBLE! I just which I had enough time to watch that many episodes See more Ethan L Apr 18 I personally enjoyed the first season especially as it actually showed lots of the inner workings of SHIELD before it was destroyed. It feels very interconnected to the broader MCU. I would liked to have seen more storylines of SHIELD as a global organisation before the collapse of SHIELD. See more Tyler P 12/15/2024 Masterfully intertwined with the early MCU, and gave good reason at the time to not have Coulson's in series revival be revealed to the greater Marvel Universe.
