The "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." TV series finally finds its groove. However, this sci-fi series has not aired its most daring episode yet, as they always say, the best is yet to come. While episode 5 "4,722 Hours" gets a great review, the upcoming installment "Among Us Hide" makes the stakes get higher too.
According to The Atlantic, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." has been set up "as a blockbuster superhero series on the small screen that could tap into the Marvel movies and a rich comic-book universe" in 2013. However, the sci-fi melodrama series fell short on its freshman year, that the show appeared more like the usual cop show that people watched on TV.
Nonetheless, after several episodes, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." has found its lane when the show stopped having "villains of the week." Though improvement of the episodes are notable, it's only in its 5th episode of season 3 that the series showcased a "quantum leap of ambition; it was the kind of epic tale that a previous generation of viewers couldn't have dreamed of one day seeing on television."
Yes, it is very surprising that it takes season 3 and in its 5th episode at that to find its groove. Den of Geek reports a review of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." stating that "4,722 Hours" was pretty engaging. The online mag says "Team Marvel deserves praise for giving us half a single-hander episode. It was a brave decision, and another example of how Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't afraid to entirely abandon its status quo for a week."
"4,722 Hours" is obviously pretty impressive, but it doesn't stop there. The stakes gets higher already for episode 6 of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Spoilers of the upcoming episode have been revealed recently, and its title is also pretty intriguing.
"Among Us Hide" episode of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." reveals that "Hunter and May continue to go after Ward and Hydra, and Daisy and Coulson begin to suspect that the ATCU may be keeping a big secret from S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode 6 will be aired on November 3 at 9 PM ET on ABC. Check the promo trailer below.
