Now, at the start of season seven, the team have beamed back in time to 1930s New York.
What began as a spy operation, comprising a hacker, two scientists, and a couple of black-ops specialists, was now a band of intergalactic renegades protecting the Earth with a blend of superpowers and bionic limbs, not unlike the Avengers themselves. A couple of years ago, even its producers looked ready to walk away, with a fifth-season finale that offered endings all round.Īn unexpected, and much shorter, sixth season propelled the plot into deep space: a perfect symbol of SHIELD’s mission creep. But it lost profile amid the slew of series that followed: the classier Agent Carter, the cooler Jessica Jones, the more “adult” Punisher. The show that made a hero of the movies’ bit-part player Phil Coulson, a suit working at a shadowy men-in-black government division, received huge hype as the Marvel Comics Universe’s (MCU) first TV crossover. W hen Agents of SHIELD returns to UK screens on Friday for its seventh and final season, there will be plenty of casual Marvel watchers surprised to hear it is still going.
