“It will be bittersweet saying goodbye to Marvel Television’s flagship series,” said Jeph Loeb, executive producer and Marvel’s head of Television. “Our success is a true testament to the extraordinary fans and we remain forever indebted to them for their endless support.

What do you think? Do you like the Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD TV show? Is it ending at the right time? Would you have watched season eight?
One of the best, if not the best, series finale I’ve seen ever. Love the series and hate to see it go. I am intrigued about Disney+’s 8 episode series “S.W.O.R.D.”
The best of the comic series shows over the last 10 years. 7 seasons is simply not enough. It got better every season. So rare. So exciting. WTF, ABC.
