‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ adds a new cast member this week with a proven track record of being death to TV shows. This may not be a wise decision, if he sticks around for long.

‘Designated Survivor’ Pilot Recap: “You Are Now
One of the most-anticipated shows of the new TV season, ABC’s ‘Designated Survivor’ puts Jack Bauer… err, make that Tom Kirkman… in the White House as the new President of the United States after a terrorist attack destroys the Ca...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 4.01 Recap: “You Got t
From the coda at the end of last season’s finale, we already knew that some big changes were in store for ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this year. What I didn’t realize is that the new season would serve as an excuse to formally introd...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.21 & 3.22 Recap: R
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ closed out its very uneven third season last week with a supersized two-part finale. While I don’t think it necessarily ties everything together in the grand finish the show wanted, the season wraps up on ...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.20 Recap: “This Is a
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ doesn’t always make an effort to tie its plot to the release of every new Marvel superhero movie, but the events of ‘Captain America: Civil War’ were apparently significant enough to warrant a mention. The...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.19 Recap: “You Shoul
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ bites off more than it can chew this week with a storyline that may have seemed ambitious during the writing stages, but plays as embarrassingly cheesy in execution.
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.18 Recap: “This Alie
Actor Brett Dalton is simply not pulling off the evil-invincible-alien-god thing on ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’, is he? This week, he adopts a weird accent I don’t recall him having in other episodes for no particular reason. (I gues...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.17 Recap: “The Devil
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ has so many twists and double-crosses this week that you’d almost swear it was a Shonda Rhimes show. (Rhimes certainly adores her shocking plot twists.) Fortunately, it’s not quite as soapy as that might s...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.16 Recap: “You Didn&
The frustrating thing about this season of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ is that, although I support and am genuinely interested in the direction the show’s storylines are heading, the individual episodes in this back-half of the seaso...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.14 Recap: “Hate̵
Judging by fan reaction, I seem to be in a minority for disliking last week’s episode of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ which (for the time being) wrote the Bobbi and Lance characters off the show. I liked this week’s entry marginally b...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.13 Recap: “You Wanna
The last two episodes of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ have disappointed me quite a bit. This week’s in particular is basically a pointless waste of an hour that exists only to set up a spinoff show that, at this point, still may not m...
‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 3.12 Recap: “Never Tru
If your DVR recording of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ this week was pre-empted by news coverage of Tuesday’s political primaries, as happened in my region, don’t just shrug it off and assume there was no new episode. One indeed aired,...
