Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Ep 1.04 “Eye-Spy”: vanilla, but has a nice twist or two
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Season 1, Episode 4: “Eye-Spy”
Written by Jeffrey Bell
Directed by Roxann Dawson
Airs on Mondays at 8 Pm Et on ABC
The most consistently frustrating thing about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is its absolute refusal to be anything other than a vanilla, middle-of-the-road piece of disposable entertainment. It’s not a show that’s necessarily terrible enough to hate (although some will try) and it’s not anywhere near good enough to love. The most common response to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is most likely a shrug of the shoulders and moving on from there. There’s nothing particularly memorable about anything that it has to work with. Here’s a question for the ages: if this show didn’t have the association with Marvel universe, would people even be tuning in to watch it?
That having been said, “Eye-Spy” is at least attempting to be something other than a totally vanilla.
