How is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? I was considering watching it but some say it's really good and some say it's horrible.

It's a little of both. Some were complaining because it was a rocky start for the first part of the season. I think it was due in part to the Marvel films (Thor and Captain America) with an episode airing just after the films premiered with them dealing with the aftermath and in the case of Winter Solider

Spoiler

where Hydra was shown to have infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. from the start and after that came out and the subsequent episode, the show dealt with it in the same timeline, or as it was happening.

After Winter Soldier premiered the show ramped up and things got really interesting really quickly. Plus they explain how Agent Coulson survived getting shived by Loki in The Avengers.

I'd suggest watching it and stick with it after the first couple of episodes before passing full judgment. Shows like this has a bit of a bumpy start to find their footing but once they do it is a really good thing to see.

I did not want to watch S.H.I.E.L.D. until I cought up with the movies. I find the idea of having a show based on movies to be a good idea to expand on the universe, but I think they should do it after all the movies came out so people don't fall behind and get confused by betrayals that happened in the movie.

To the shows credit, it does fill like a comic where you have to go from movie to show to movie to show to get the whole story.
