Much like Legends of Tomorrow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. at first seemed like a good idea that might not actually work.

However, the series only found its footing late in season 1 when the titular organization was turned on its head. Friends became enemies, and the series – much like S.H.I.E.L.D. itself– has been vying to prove its worth ever since. Eventually, Inhumans were brought into the picture (ahead of the announcement of the upcoming ABC show), and recent seasons have deepened the show’s promise with the introduction of the Secret Warriors and Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna). In short, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has developed from a punchline into the exciting extension of the MCU it was always intended to be.
