Had the same reaction - or close to it. The problem is J August Richards - who was the most interesting character and the most charismatic actor in the episode, was only a guest star. He won't be in it after that episode.
And Clark Gregg who plays Coulson - while interesting, isn't a big enough draw. The rest of the cast didn't resonate at all.
Also it's a wee bit on the busy side - so you're not really given much chance to get to know any of them. I felt I was watching a comic book - which may be the point? Did make me miss Buffy, Angel and even Firefly.
At any rate, giving it a few more episodes. It was light and frothy, which I need right now.
