I'm shocked this show had the run it did. I gave up on it after Season 1.

Ditto. Terrible acting and a plot that seemed to purposefully go nowhere, all while teasing about characters we might be interested in seeing cameos of, but not actually getting them...

No thanks.

I actually stuck it through to the end. I kept hoping for something akin to the mind-blowing tie in to The Winter Soldier, but the desire to synergize never really seemed to return. I understand that the storytelling couldn't be a slave to the bigger universe, but that was what made it interesting, even if the first two-thirds of season one meandered. Maybe the scope was too big. You couldn't have world-ending events on par with Avengers encounters without them showing up. The Netflix shows did a better job doing street-level adventures. Time travel and far-flung space adventures might have been a way to keep the crew out of the movie's stories, but it began to feel like it didn't belong.

That being said, the characters were great. I would have been all for a Lower Decks-style, smarmy, back-talking crew of underdogs having some cool fight scenes as they tried to clear the way for the higher ups to do the big jobs. The Age of Ultron tie-in comes to mind. But our characters are all better not being, or really knowing, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
