Me too. It didn't hold my interest whatsoever.
The acting was horrible. The action was lackluster.
At least ALL the female characters were good-looking model types.

Whedon's shows tend to get better as seasons go on, but that was 10-12 years ago, longer rally. Now with every show needing big ratings to stay on, not sure if Whedon and his crew will be given that chance. I just hope they don't go with the whole freak of the week formula. This show would have been better on the CW where it would be given time to grow.

It reminded me of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and I loved that show. It's more violent but back in the 60s I was a teen and the show appealed to me mainly because of Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum). I'm still crazy about that guy. He's Ducky on NCIS.

So I gave this one a shot and I was totally disappointed. Oh well, there are some good ones that have recently premiered.

I'm going to give it a couple more episodes before I make a decision to call it quits or commit. Sometimes shows that start off rough end up improving enough to last.

Maybe it was the hype, but I tuned out halfway into the show. And I'm a comic book geek. I'll give it one more shot.

Not that great. I gave up half way through the show and didn't really paid attention. Will put up with it casually for the next few episode to see if the story picks up.

I liked it.

I like how they didnt explain Coulson being alive. Clones and cyborgs are nothing new to us so spelling it out right away would feel cheap to me. I like how he just said something like he paid too high a price for the job and they left it at that. I know they'll probably explain it eventually but I really dont care or have to know.

I liked their transport plane.

The half chinese girl is very hot but her character got on my nerves. The whole cocky mouthy super hacker thing is played.

I thought the MIB style Vette was cheesy.

overall good show.

I think the first episode shows that it should deliver. Time will only tell if it continues to do so but it is going in a good direction. I think Skye is my favorite new character.
