Agents of SHIELD got so much better after Winter Soldier. I would say just skip the lead-up to the turn, but a lot of things happen in the earlier episodes that pay off later. For me it was worth it, but I can totally understand why other people noped out.

Sooooo happy for a Peggy TV series. She's one of my very favorite Marvel-verse characters. Also a little nervous though, because if it sucks, or is good but nobody watches it, we have yet another excuse for the "no one wants female superheroes" crowd.
