Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is a superhero action packed spin-off series
based on the character, Phil Coulson, played by Clark Gregg. Coulson
is first introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie,
Iron Man (2008). The character is seen throughout five movies of the
phase one of the MCU. He is believed to have been killed in The
Avengers (2012). His death is used as a driving force to bring
together the other super-heroes so they can defeat their common
enemy. The series follows the character, who is brought back from
the dead, and answers questions of how he is brought back and why,
while he builds his own secret team to protect the world.
Themes seen in the series include time travel, enhanced
individuals, doing what is right, and finding family in an unlikely
set of individuals. There 136 episodes of the series spread out
through seven seasons. The run-time is roughly 45 minutes.

As someone who is a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this
has to be my favorite series of the entire franchise. For most of
the seasons, they tie into the movies. So much so that if you do not
stop watching the series, to watch one of the movies, the next
episode of the series could ruin the movie for you. However, the
show can be fully enjoyed without watching the movies or any of the
other Marvel television shows.
I enjoy seeing the character progression and how by the end of the
series, they are a family. Most of them do not have much of a
family, so I feel great happiness seeing them create their own
family with each other.
My favorite character is Phil Coulson. He is such a good person that
wants to always do the right thing and never hurt anyone. But he
will protect those he cares about. He is a mentor and even a father
figure to the rest of his team. While it is an action packed serious
show, there are also funny light hearted moments such as the way
Coulson loves his car, that he has named Lola.
Personally, I have cried watching many of the episodes because it is
done so well that you really care about the characters and want the
best for them. There have been shocking deaths and betrayals along
with happy moments. I watched the show weekly while it was on air,
but I have binged watched it a couple of times since it ended. I
think anyone can enjoy this show and stay captivated enough to watch
the entire series in a short amount of time.
