Most agree that Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD started out slowly but ABC is giving it time to grow. The network has renewed the action show for a second season.
On Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and a highly specialized team investigate cases of individuals exhibiting superhuman abilities. The rest of the cast includes Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge.
Though the show’s ratings have surely not met ABC’s expectations, Agents of SHIELD is still the network’s fifth-highest rated scripted series and one of only two new ABC dramas to have any kind of success. It currently averages a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.92 million total viewers.
What do you think? Are you glad that this show is returning for a second season or would you have cancelled it instead? Would you make any changes for year two?
At first, the first episodes had some lines that were kinda cheesy, but the last half of the season was amazing! I laughed way more with lines I never heard before and the plots definitely had more SUSPENSE. I can’t wait for the NEXT season! I like that it tells the story line between Marvel movies like Avengers and Captain America. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
I love it! I don’t understand why people say it got a bad start. I liked it from the beginning, liked they way they were developing the characters. The later episodes had lots of action, and maybe that’s what people want more of, but I enjoyed the story lines and getting a kick out of waiting to see how they were going to get out of the latest impossible-to-get-out-of-situation. Great interaction between characters. I do hope Fitz carries on and Ward stays out, though. Ward seemed to me to be the weakest character. Fitz is growing. So glad it got… Read more »
This is a very good show. The main problem is the figures quoted he are not accurate. With placing shows online the traditional rating system. Cant keep track of the number
of people watching.
Def. happy for season 2. This show is the time before the Marvel movie and the after of the movies, my opinion keep’em coming, 3, 4….. Just my opinion.
Finally a network that gets it right… giving a show to iron out a few wrinkles in its first season is beneficial and viewers that invested time into tuning in wont be as pissed with the network as long as we know they gave it a chance.
Thank You ABC
I want season 2 y a great serie. please dont canceled it.
The last episodes are amazing. I didint expect ward was a bad person. I expect every week to see this serie.
I want season 2 y a great serie. please dont canceled it.
Terrible show with crappy rating but the network’s terrified to cancel a Marvel property, whether or not it deserves it.
Should have shown some spine and canned this dross.
I understand the need for American TV to have a balanced “demography”, and since Nick Fury (aka Samuel L. Jackson) is too big for the small screen (does a 42″ plasma still qualifies as small?), the inclusion of a black character was a matter of time. The way of getting at it transforming and liquidating (in MCU nothing is sure tho’) agent Ward to give room was at the same time silly and interesting.
Never a fan of MC I grew up to love the movies and most definitively the show, looking forward for many more seasons I hope.
IF THEY CANCELED THIS SHOW IDK WHAT ID DO WITH MYSELF. this is literally my favorite show on earth and I would cry if thy ended it. really.really.hard. I do hope ward somehow comes back because ive always shipped him and skye. SERIOUSLY SO HAPPY THEYRE DOING A SEASON TWO I HOPE I DONT HAVE TO GO WITHUT THIS SHOW FOR VERY LONG! I missed last weeks episode and have been having major withdrawls. don’t know how ill last to season 2.
Yes to Season 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8… Keep renewing ABC! I agree with the slow start but if you look back, I’m grateful for the Character development – great way to introduce someone who isn’t a comic book reader to understand the characters. I wish I was in Ming-Na’s shoes right now! Cast me please!
I agree about the slow development of this show, but I’d give (and I’m glad they did) it another season. All of Joss Weedon’s shows develop slowly and then develop great characters. The network that pulled the plug on “Firefly” too soon probably regretted it. It is now a cult hit/classic and would have eventually captured the demographic it sought. It was witty, action packed, and had great storylines and writing. The old Miami Vice was rated 5 with 1 being the worst for 3/4 of a season, the rocketed to the top and top 5 for years to come.
Renew and let’s see some SuperHeroes, like Capt.America, Thor etc even if it’s just from behind.
To say this show started slow is an understatement. The last 2 months have seen an incredible transformation. Finally…scripts worthy of a Marvel movie.
Glad the show has been re-newed…not sure about the wild turn the story had taken but I’ll hang in there…I Love the cast so will be a faithful watcher….
