Sif is always a good character so they did a good job there. We also see more of Skye and her powers, I especially like her relationship with Fitz. Moderately good plot.
However the research work done about Portugal was terribly bad. I will now list my reasons to say this:
1) They say they are in Portugal yet everyone has a Brazilian accent. (nothing wrong with Brazil, I love it, beautiful country, but if the characters were in Portugal how hard could it be to speak with a Portuguese accent? I mean, even if the couldn't find Portugueses - which is highly unlikely - a Brazilian actor could speak with a Portuguese accent.)
2) They say they are in Faro when we clearly see the flag of Açores. And even the coat of arms appears several times.
3) Portuguese words written incorrectly at the pear. "Chpéus", among others.
4) Again the Portuguese accent while speaking English is nothing like a Spanish, a Brazilian, or a Italian speaking English. It's more close, like Greek or Russian.
5) Clearly a bigoted view of the Portuguese people (just saying that the mustaches, some physical traits, and even the soccer balls, etc, are misconceptions...)
6) To a Portuguese person is very sad to see their country being portrait like that. Many people have this idea that Portugal has no real identity, and we are "a colony of Spain". To see this poor bigoted ideas being perpetrated is sad.
7) This all could be so easily avoided if producers had done some research. (just reading the wikipedia page about Portugal, which I think they didn't.)
The cultural part was horrendous nevertheless it has a somewhat good plot.
