Sabih A @RT57875922 Aug 3, 2026 ⚠️ Spoiler Warning: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 Fitz, Jemma, and Will's storyline was fantastic, and I loved finally seeing Fitz and Simmons together. Ward remained a standout until his shocking death, and Hive taking over his body made it clear there was no coming back. Coulson and Rosalind were handled well, and her death was unexpected. Yo-Yo was a great addition, while Hive, Malick, and Strucker's son were all solid villains. Bobbi and Hunter leaving the team was heartbreaking, especially in "Parting Shot." The future vision storyline was one of the season's best, leading to an emotional finale with Lincoln's sacrifice. The twists, character arcs, and emotional moments kept the season engaging throughout. In short: Another excellent season, possibly even better than Season 2, with great characters, memorable twists, emotional moments, and strong new additions from start to finish.

I feel so connected to the characters I can’t even explain what a incredible job the writers did we need more of this is future shows See more Lucho G @RT50110343 Aug 22, 2025 I miss this show. It's 1000x better than Phase 5 MCU shows. See more Faiz D @RT95588871 May 14, 2025 Wow, Marvel has seriously upped their game. Great season. See more Tyler P @RT44544619 Dec 15, 2024 Both the best and worst early season of Agents, it's where Agents really starts coming into its own, and that comes with some flaws, but also some of the best storytelling up to this point in the series. Direct MCU connections start becoming few and far in between here, as post Ultron SHIELD is mostly no longer a player (until post endgame perhaps, where we may see a return someday?). It is unfortunate that this season saw two of my favorite post S1 characters depart for a spinoff that would never occur, but honestly if that's the season's largest loss quality wise that's not too shabby at all. See more Bernd H @RT87397960 Mar 30, 2024 "A spies goodbye" made me cry and no one even died or got harmed. That is the kind of writing you cannot reproduce just like that for a reason. I'm glad this show exists. See more Read all reviews
