    Anyway, I loved every bit of this season, and look forward to season 6 being even better!    … Expand

    This season felt like the team was facing off threats lighter than before, which they could handle just fine. But the thing is that because of the circumstances and because of the team's previous traumatic experiences, it's harder and harder to face off any threat.

But the thing is that because of the circumstances and because of the team's previous traumatic experiences, it's harder and harder to face off any threat. So it focuses more on character improvement as well, as world ending threats. The sound and visual effects are really sloppy and poor just as before, but the actors compensate for this very well, giving over the tension, and reflecting that over the screen. The writing was very basic and lazy just as before, and the directing style was overly casual. There is one major plot whole which I don't get and don't agree with, therefore it's gonna piss off a lot of the audience. But it's interesting enough to keep the general audience engaged over all the season and also keeps the tension going with new twists and turns. Also story-wise got somewhat more complicated than before adding time travel to the formula. But also with that 'end season threat' (not going to spoil it) should have easily got to the radar of the Avengers and they would have picked up where SHIELD had left off. But I guess they forgot it's the same universe. Overall it's an above average season (and serial as well), but it's starts to get forced, taking in to consideration how much the team has already gone through and their tiredness is felt in their role as well. Also keeping count of the retirements, it has to stop cranking out new seasons. Stop while it's still good, don't force it to the grave.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After an amazing fourth season Agents of SHIELD had a lot to live up to. Fortunately, season five mostly succeeded in this way. The future plot line was great but really didn't mean much as things could easily be reversed by coming back into the present. These episodes were fun and enjoyable none the less. Once we were brought back to earth (before Quake destroyed it) the pacing slowed a little. There were still amazing moments such as Fitz and Jemma getting married, finding out Deke is their grandson, and General Talbot being tortured by Hydra. In season four, the three stories (Ghost Rider, the LMDs, and the Framework) keep getting better. This season things are much slower due to the lack of the three arc structure. The two story arcs (future and present timeline) still work but they are dragged out due to the 22 episode season. Either way, the ending of the season is great and could have worked as a series finale if the show wasn't picked up for season 6. In this way, some of the events that happen in the finale will most likely be resolved except one. Coulson's sendoff was fantastic and came full circle. If this is the last time we see him I am happy with the way his story was told and how it ended. With season six being 13 episodes long, it's safe to say it will probably be the final season. I cannot wait to see how they will end the series and am glad they can end it the way they want instead of it being canceled.… Expand

Also the new characters, which are added to the cast, surprise thorugh uniqueness. The main cast characters are faced with (un)foreseen consequences of their actions form previous seasons. Season five also convinces through grabbing up and processing a lot of loose strings and effects of character development form all previous seasons. Also, in this season, there is much more than the ususal tie in to the major MCU movie.… Expand

    After the first two episodes we have an mostly generic nazi prison story with a sci-fi twist, a massive reduction in Shield presence, a continuation of good and bad directing (especially some camera work), and a cheezy 80s (read Stranger Things) soundtrack that tries at times to generate an artifical atmosphere that falls flatter the louder it gets.

Overall, this is worth a 6.5 due to the seeming soft reboot by alienating all the non-main cast, though after only two episodes that could be premature with a back-and-forth planned though I suspect Fitz will only be there as a VR member (no spoilers). (I will update as the season progresses.)… Expand

    A really great season that acts as a finale of sorts, even though this is cut short with the knowledge that there will be a sixth and final season. Who got snapped?

    A decent or good season but it does not wow me. Also the twists are nowhere near impactful or amazing as in the previous 4 seasons (Especially when you have seen the teaser at end of season 4 that spoils a mayor twist). It is also the kind I rated lower the longer I think about certain aspects. I started at an 8/10 but now I am doubting a 7/10. Lets start with a summary. After the eventsA decent or good season but it does not wow me. Also the twists are nowhere near impactful or amazing as in the previous 4 seasons (Especially when you have seen the teaser at end of season 4 that spoils a mayor twist). It is also the kind I rated lower the longer I think about certain aspects. I started at an 8/10 but now I am doubting a 7/10. Lets start with a summary. After the events of the last season the whole team ended being on the wanted criminals list. The situation is so hard or unbelievable to explain that even they themselves do not believe they will be acquitted. They decide to not run away or hide with a last peaceful meal at a dinner while waiting to get arrested. However because of events that are unclear at the beginning of the season they end in a far more crapsack situation. One theme of this season is fighting against something that seems unavoidable while another are the abysses of human nature. All characters will experience a low point and for some it is the worst they experienced so far. I want to point out that I do not like this. To clarify: The facing and situations are well done. The character development and conflicts that resulted are not. I liked that the Agents of Shield are are real team that protect each other and will not give up. No matter the odds or obstacles you know when they work together they will overcome everything. Here it sometimes feel like the beginning of the end of the team. I say the story the story in general delivers but is weaker at some parts. The conclusion of the story is satisfactory but for the characters it is unsatisfying for Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Fitzsimmons and Daisy Johnson. Also I dislike what they did with side characters like Carl Creed and Glenn Talbot. They wasted them at the end but I must admit that Glenn Talbot delivered an awesome performance. For the acting performance I will praise the cast. They deliver their roles and can dive into unexplored territories. Even if I dislike the outcome I praise a good performance. As new characters we have Deke Shaw played by Jeff Ward. He is a humanly character that grows in his arc. Would like to see more of him but he starts a bit unlikable. Tess played by Eve Harlow and Flint played by Coy Steward have not much screen time but work really well. Kasius and Sinaraa played by Dominic Rains and Florence Faivre became great antagonists. He is a clever schemer and slimy bastard type villain while she is his enforcer. She is cruel, not a wordy person and a force to be recognized in battle. Together they work great. Same goes for Ruby and general Hale. Their relationship, backstory and development are enjoyable. I would have liked to see more of them. The secret star was Enoch played by Joel Stoffer. I cant say much because of spoilers but can at least praise him for his performance. No missteps here in the acting field. As per the shows own standards the special effects and battles are well crafted. Everything looks good and believable. The fight scenes are impactful and immersive. In hindsight there are a few smaller flaws or inconsistencies in the story. For example I think the end of the final villain is just a plot device or wishful thinking. He could avoid the consequences with his powers by reversing the effect (He did use his skills to do similar things before). I am vague here to not spoil it. He was not unconscious. Overall it is in the realm that I enjoyed but in hindsight find flaws. It is the weakest season so far but nowhere near garbage level. I am hesitating between 6-7/10. I think a 7/10 is valid.… Expand

    Наверное самый не удачный сезон из всех. Им явно не стояло лесть в путешествия во времени.

    This was when Agents of Shield really diverted from the MCU, and I’m all hear for it! It was great! Amazing TV!

    After four seasons and a universe of ideas, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still doing what it does best. It’s constantly shifting the goal posts and surprising its audience with delightful twists and turns, never taking its fanbase for granted or getting too caught up in what’s already worked.
