I liked it, but with what is probably a very odd caveat.
It's very well written (no surprise there), the cinematography is very sleek and professional, it moves like crazy so you certainly won't get bored, you need to pay attention to understand what is going on-- a number of sneaky little twists and turns in there for sure...
and you really need to watch it on a big screen, with at least DVD quality video, and a good sound system. For sure, that was a very-movie-like score running under most of the action.
None of which I happen to have. So I kept getting the feeling I was watching this on a telephone screen, like everything is bigger than life and is being kind of squeezed in.
In short, if this was in a movie theater, it would be... a very short movie, but much more involving.
Second odd thing-- Sleepy Hollow is much like AoSHIELD in these same characteristics, but I don't feel like that show needs to be bigger than my little 27" analog TV, although it might be nice.
When I tune in during the next few weeks I'll see if I get the same reaction. Is it possible AoSHIELD is too "big" for TV?
