cynatnite May 30, 2014 Day One. I love this series!

darthtron May 30, 2014 I so can't wait!!! I will so be getting this and "Captain America: The Winter Solider", day 1!!! This show is one of my favorite current shows!!! MoulinBlu May 30, 2014 Glad to see Disney supporting BD with this one. Hope to hear a Once Upon a Time Season 3 announcement soon too! Starting to get a little worried Disney's abandoning us collectors.

Top contributor CReaper210 May 30, 2014 Same day as Captain America. Very nice. I haven't watched the series OR the movie, so I will definitely be getting both day one.

TheManInBlu May 30, 2014 Was I the only who thought this show was dreadful? I stopped watching after 3 episodes...

johnny May 30, 2014 TheManInBlu.....I agree, I tried 5 episodes and gave up, I didn't care for the acting from some of the newbies.....

You stopped watching too soon. It was spotty for the first few episodes, but it figured itself out in the last few episodes before the mid-season break and upped the ante even more in the back half. I imagine the second season will be better. They get the time to figure out what worked and what didn't now that they're out of the weekly grind.

Top contributor Ator the Invincible May 30, 2014 A very uneven show for most of the first season. It picked up BIG TIME after The Winter Soldier hit theaters. Anyone who gave up on the show early on really needs to give the final story arc of the season a try. It completely redeemed the show in my eyes.

Spencer_Kain92 May 30, 2014 Buying this and Cap 2 on the same day! Can't wait!

Top contributor kevin87 May 30, 2014 glad they didn't go the usual DVD only route Disney and ABC do with their TV shows. and those who stopped watching gave up too soon, it finally started finding a plot about halfway, and was great about 3/4ths of the way into the season.



the press release says The Complete First Season, not Season One... just saying

HermanTurnip May 30, 2014 I, unfortunately, gave up on this show far too early. I picked it up again via streaming during the last half of the season and was immediately hooked. Fantastic show. I plan on making amends for abandoning this show in the early days by picking up this blu day one.

jayembee May 30, 2014 @kevin87: "glad they didn't go the usual DVD only route Disney and ABC do with their TV shows."



There really wasn't any doubt that this show would get a BD release. First off, SF/fantasy/action shows have a greater probability of getting a BD release. Secondly, Disney no doubt realizes that a lot of folks who've been buying all of the MCU movies on BD will want to add this to their collection in the same format.

Top contributor

Top contributor kevin87 May 30, 2014 @jayembee - it was possible, but that in no way meant it was probable. if you look at ABC as a whole, the only shows they have released are Lost and Once Upon A Time, and those one-off season releases of Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs that were released before the format was abandoned for them. There was also V and Pushing Daisies, but even though they aired on ABC, those are WB produced shows so WB released them. Disney/ABC doesn't have a good track record at all to give it any faith in definitely releasing a TV show on BD.

disneygeek98 May 30, 2014 Day one for me! reidw May 30, 2014 Actually I liked the first part of the season better. The last part especially the final arc took on the same paranoid view of America's security services where every agency is out to get every other (Intelligence, Revolution, Hostages, The Blacklist, 24 etc.) This view of American society is a cancer that is slowly destroying your country and by extension western society. It is best summed up by the frightening phrase, "Trust no one".

jayembee May 30, 2014 @kevin87 -- True enough, but as I had said, there are (at least) a couple of factors involved. And one of them is that none of the other ABC/Disney shows are tied into a hot-selling movie franchise.



Sure, it was possible that Disney would releasing this on DVD, but I would have been gobsmacked if that was what ended up happening. It's a no-brainer.

jayembee May 30, 2014 @reidw: "The last part especially the final arc took on the same paranoid view of America's security services where every agency is out to get every other (Intelligence, Revolution, Hostages, The Blacklist, 24 etc.) This view of American society is a cancer that is slowly destroying your country and by extension western society.

Actually, in this case, there was good reason for all of the other intelligence services not trusting S.H.I.E.L.D., given that it was shown to be infiltrated right to the core by Fascist Bad Guys. But more to the point, it follows on from The Winter Soldier, where the "paranoid view" wasn't that the various agencies are out to get each other, but that intelligence services are spying not only on the enemy, but on its own citizens as well. And given that the NSA has been shown to be doing exactly that, not to mention spying on allied heads of state, the paranoia isn't exactly a flight of fancy. amper May 30, 2014 Gave the show a whole season view, wanted to like it, but it just tried to hard and came across as a wanna be.

El Baz May 30, 2014 The series was slow at first but really picked up when Sif appeared on the show. The final 7-8 episodes were awesome, especially the post Captain America 2 episode.

wnicholas76 May 31, 2014 Really enjoyed this series!! Day one for me!! Can't wait for season 2!!

jeffardy May 31, 2014 When I added this to my queue, Netflix informed me "members who like this also liked Street Fighter." Thanks crazy algorithms!



Haven't seen the show, but as a fan of the MCU I'm sure I'll love it. Top reviewer

Top reviewer ORFF May 31, 2014 How is agent c. alive?

kenkraly2004 May 31, 2014 Awesome!!! Can't wait to get Season 1 of Agents of Shield and Cap 2 on Blu-Ray Disc on the same day!!! I'm kind of surprised that Marvel Studios / ABC Studios / Disney would release Agents of Shield on Blu-Ray Disc because if you look at the other ABC shows like Castle , Grey's Anatomy , Scandal , The Goldbergs , Modern Family , Last Man Standing etc plus their ABC Family shows like Baby Daddy , and Pretty Little Liars they have only been released to DVD only. So I'm very happy to hear that Agents of Shield is coming out on Blu-Ray Disc on September 9th!!! omahajon May 31, 2014 This show was dogsh!t. Boring for 3/4 the season. But funny, they get love just because: Marvel.

Top reviewer

Top reviewer nathanp May 31, 2014 I feel the same way about this show as I do about Arrow, it's got its moment here and there but overall can't stay interesting for an entire season, maybe 5 solid episodes per year for each of the 2 shows.

bowlingbilly10 Jun 01, 2014 Glad to see this getting the blu ray treatment! Love this show. For those people that stopped watching the show after the first 5 episodes, u really stopped watching too soon. It really got better especially when captain America winter soldier tie in came in. Can't wait for season 2. reidw Jun 01, 2014 @jayembee: I agree with you about some paranoia being justified by real life events but when every contemporary series hammers home the message that your authorities can't be trusted/need to be closed down/are up to no good/are constantly scheming against each other eventually it becomes inevitable that people become convinced that this is true in all cases. Once that happens any faith in your country is doomed and "trust no one" becomes accepted as the norm.



I might add from a story telling standpoint it also gets boring and predictable. Betrayals only work if they are a surprise. Was anyone actually surprised by the events in any of the series I named? I doubt it.

doctorD Jun 02, 2014 One of the most under-rated great shows of the new season. I'll be picking this up day 1.

nametag Jun 02, 2014 I thought the pilot was awful and didn't bother continuing, before hearing better things about the back half and deciding to just pick it up again after episode 16 and the Cap 2 crossover. It's true that the show was a lot more interesting by virtue of having a more involving and fun continuing storyline, but the characters, acting and dialogue were still often uniformly dreadful. Especially Coulson - every time he did one of his motivational/'badass' speeches I wanted to slap him.

mpstjohn Jun 02, 2014 Considering this was touted as "better than Firefly" when it first premiered I'd say its the most over-rated show of all time. The producers kept making apologies, saying it would get better but even by the end it was only marginally better than the worst episodes. They fixed some problems but not others. Sorry to say, in the grand scheme of things its obvious this was the last priority for Disney/Marvel (not as important as the MCU movies or even their One-Shots) so the show couldn't really take any chances or do anything innovative so it only followed the lead of the movies. In the end they're only keeping it on tv because its produced cheaply (you can tell by looking at it) so they consider it basically free advertising for the MCU on televsion. Its no wonder they're releasing almost all of the rest of their shows on Netflix instead of tv. AoS was creamed in the ratings. And sadly it pales in comparison to Arrow which has an actual rogue gallery and assortment of DCU villains and cameos.

THGhost Jun 02, 2014 @mpstjohn



First, nobody said that. Ever. Second, how can this show possibly be compared to Firefly?

El Baz Jun 02, 2014 @mpstjohn

Never heard of it being compared to Firefly. Yes, it was creamed in ratings. Usually happens to a brand new show going up against the highest rated show on the network (NCIS) and highest reality show (The Voice). The ratings did fairly well if you ask me based on the competition.

As for comparing it to Arrow. One is primary character in the DCU while SHIELD are just background characters. Of course Arrow will have a better rogue's gallery.

Last I checked, the ratings for Arrow were crappy, losing to a canceled TV show (Revolution)

coolkev1701 Jun 02, 2014 22 thrilling episodes? I don't know about that. The first half of the season was a snoozefest.

mpstjohn Jun 03, 2014 @THGhost



After SDCC last year, the mention of Joss Whedon involved in the production and reception of the pilot led to comparisons with Firefly. The talk at the time was this was gonna be the successor of that show in quality. Basically what Whedon did with Firefly he was gonna do even better here. After all, he's matured as a filmmaker since his tv days (look at The Avengers). The difference between those shows and this are pretty obvious though, you can't compare the quality of characters, writing, and really Whedon passed the show off to his brother so this wasn't really "his baby" as Marvel at the time pitched it.



Truth is, you can't compare this to Firefly any more than you can the Twilight books to Homer's Odyssey or the Illiad. I was just responding to the claim that it was "the most underrated show of the season", considering the word after the screening was "better than Firefly" and then the show took a nosedive (leading to the producers saying "no, we've fixed it, its gotten better" over and over), I'd say "underrated" is less descriptive than "oversold", its a show with a pilot shot by Whedon but this isn't exactly the second coming of Joss Whedon.



As far as the comparisons I made to Arrow, one is a clearly a show for fans of the comics (has several villains for the season, several nods and easter eggs for fans, the set up for a (Flash) spin-off), the other is more for fans of I guess Clark Gregg and his Coulson character. One has its own arc, the other's arc is really dictated by whatever has happened in that month's MCU movie so has less flexibility.

THGhost Jun 05, 2014 @mpstjohn



And yet nobody actually uttered the words "better than Firefly", which just proves my point.
