I know that I said I would wait until the season finale, but since they are taking the week off, I decided to give a general opinion on Shield before my "Is this worth your money on Netflix/DVD?" opinion on the whole thing after the season finale.
Setup: Set one year after the Avengers, Shield Agent Phil Coulson, after coming back to life offscreen, leads an off the book team of agents around the world on various missions to investigate macguffins of the week. Sometimes that macguffin can be superpowered people. Other times it is an alien artifact.

Said setup is a good one for an action show and it works well here. Some episodes: in particular Eye Spy, F.Z.Z.T, and The Well, are standouts in quality, our weakest is the most recent episode, Repairs, which isn't bad, but is not particularly important except dealing out May's backstory.
Cast: Our cast consists of six primary crew members aboard Coulson's jet.

Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, the proprietor of the team, Ming-Na Wen as Melinda May, the pilot with a troubled and mysterious past. Brett Dalton as Grant Ward, the teams black ops specialist with another troubled past, Chole Bennett as Skye, a orphan hacktivist that joins to find out about her parents, and Ian De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge as FitzSimmons, our science people.
This cast works great, they have good chemistry, and prove that Marvel Studios is getting past their cited diversity problem by having a regular show with half the principal cast being women, one of whom is Asian.
In general I like the show, and I'll have a more detailed summary and review up when the season ends.
Have a nice day.
