SHIELD. What a load of bollocks. I turned off last week’s “entry level” episodes. This series should have stayed in a comic book and not sullied Ironman’s waters.

Programs these days are so predictable same old same old. Hostages is if a new concept? Broken family sick wife young daughter grandpa for support. Husband with affair. Give me a break. Where are the original ideas?

Yeah gotta say Shield isn’t what i was hoping for, neither is Blacklist(better than Shield though). At least American Horror Story is back soon.

Agents of SHIELD is a fantastic and fun show and I am surprised by the drop but the show is definintely going to pick up more viewers, it’s too good not to!
