Review of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I admit, I was reluctant to watch this show at the beginning, but I wanted to see it because it does (to a small degree) tie in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Season 1 was amazing and many started really loving it at its climax near the end when the rise of Hydra and fall of SHIELD in Cap 2 happened and threw the show into turmoil and betrayal. Season 2 (the 1st half before winter break) was mind-blowing with insane special effects, crazy reveals and answers everyone was waiting for about what was happening to Coulson and Skye and the pay off was worth the wait leaving you absolutely speechless and unable to contain your excitement for what will happen next... then we come to part 2 of season 2 and we begin going downhill, it becomes quite the disappointment and is rather anticlimactic and portrays characters being for lack of better words, stupid and confusing. The show is back in the slumps and favourite characters people want to know more about are discarded like yesterdays news when we just really got interested in them. Season 3, for such a long wait, the payout is not nearly as good. All previous characterization is thrown out the windows and everything and everyone is GREY! The set itself is grey, the costumes are grey, the powers, the magic is literally grey, and the characters are morally grey out of nowhere. The thing that makes people love Coulson is gone, he makes awful decisions and is extreme serious, no one once cracks a joke in the season and then (spoiler) they send someone to an alien planet and they make one person become a villain out of nowhere, no evidence, no previous foreshadowing, nothing, just for the sake of plot twist. It gets really jumbled in this season and is extremely hard to follow even though I have watched all the episodes every week since it began. Coulsons character is thrown out the window, they randomly start killing people off just for the sake of moving forward the Ward is an idiot running Hydra plot, and then the morally sound Coulson kills a man (Spoiler: Ward) in cold blood and we have some man eating alien hanging out with Hydra and the government being stupid and chasing heroes... So, my advice, best to leave this show alone or if you do watch it, stop after season 2.
