Because I'm curious...please advise which of the tv shows below you are watching. Note I did not list all of them nor ones I've yet to see, or ones that just premiered and haven't shown more than one episode yet.

Okay that makes sense.

From all the reviews I've read? I think whether you like Agents of Shield has a great deal to do with whether you can relate or find one or both of these two actors engaging, interesting, relateable or likeable:


Skye

Coulson

If you find neither likable or engaging? The show won't work for you.
Which to be fair, is actually true of all tv series. If none of the characters appeal to you personally, you'll give up on the show regardless of how interesting the plot or set-up is or how well or badly written. At the end of the day it comes down to - I find so and so interesting and relateable or I really really don't.

Sigh. Television watching and criticism is definitely a subjective sport. ;-)

Yep. I think that's definitely true. So for me -- I'm on the fence about both characters, but I am leaning toward being happy with Skye, and leaning toward being unhappy with Coulson. Hence my being interested in the show, but also really skeptical -- but not entirely bored.

See that's my problem...Skye doesn't really engage me. I don't know why. She should...maybe it's the actress? Don't know. (shrugs).

I was hoping to get into Ming Na-Wen's character - Belinda May, the world-weary ace pilot who despises field action (ie. if Starbuck had lived and made it to 50). But she's barely in it and doesn't have enough to do to hold my interest.

I really wish they'd kill off Wade and find a new and more interesting actor/character. I think he's supposed to be the male lead.

I agree that Ming Na-Wen's character could/should be interesting -- but they are not using her at all. I love the "if Starbuck had lived to fifty" way of looking at her.
