I admit that I overlooked Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the beginning, dismissing it as a Marvel version of Warehouse 13. But after seeing Captain America: The Winter Soldier and hearing how the series tightly tied into the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I went through an Archive Binge of the first season. Needless to say, I'm fully on board the train and ready for season 2.
Yes, season 1 starts off a little slow, and initially comes across as just a series of "weird event of the week" shows. But there's very little actual "fluff" here, as nearly every episode lays the groundwork for the season arc, builds the characters, or both. Once I got past the halfway mark I could feel myself being pulled in, by the two-thirds mark I was hungry for more, and the season finale was as fun and amazing as the series' big-screen cousins.
The show is a worthy companion to the MCU, and I definitely want to see more of Coulson and his team.
