What’s it like now?
I let go of it during 3 or 4.
After Hive, I think.

I think the show has always been good (not every single episode of course) but the last 2 seasons have been truly great.

So we can officially add AoS to the list of things that can survive anything, alongside cockroaches and Cher. Congrats to fans of the show, whose passion and enthusiasm (IIRC) saved it more than once in the early going. Enjoy season seven, mang. |

Enjoy season seven, mang. there must be more at hand than fan passion as this shows nosedived Nielsen wise, ie from Season1's not-so-great 8.3 M (Rank 43) average viewership continuously down to 3.5M (Rank 133) in S5. So there must a reason why Disney is keeping this one alive on ABC, maybe something to do with the Disney+ channel and tie ins. |

I'm honestly surprised that Disney keeping this afloat and I say this as someone who watched this show since the pilot episode.

I wasn't expecting that because I thought they'd halved the previous seasons episode count.
I'd rather have Luke Cage and Iron Fist myself...

Someone inform the Russos, they’ll need to reshoot Avengers 4 to accomodate this shared universe.

It lost me in the first season. Just didn’t interest me. But it’s got its following who are certainly happy about it.

You're just mad that the show's gone on long enough that it'll be impossible to gloat when it does eventually end. Ooh, yeah, a show that's been on the air for close to a decade/a whole decade finally got canned. You won't even be able to cling to any of the old excuses when it happens. Even if Season 7 is the final one, it won't matter. It'll have officially made Long Runner status. The Anti-MCU brigade loses. Again. |

Yeah, seven seems to be the magic number to crossing that threshold for whatever reason. I always used to think of that as usually (but not always) passing the point where networks pretty much had to give a show some kind of ostensible finale no matter how much numbers had fallen from its prior peak. |

Well, it is the better part of a decade. Probably a lot harder to get that far than even the most popular shows make it seem, considering how many get canned anywhere from the first half of Season 1 to 2-4 seasons. |

Two seasons seems to be the classic "fuck you" scenario for tons of cult shows (Twin Peaks being the quintessential, or at least a forerunner) where you're almost guaranteed an unresolved cliffhanger. Between three and six it's a crapshoot, it seems. ETA: in some ways, Peaks doesn't work because it eventually got another season and still didn't resolve jack shit, but -- whatever. |

And then there are shows that squander being immensely popular and almost guaranteed another season. *Glances over at X-Files* ETA: And you can add the X-Files new seasons to that. Yes, why resolve any of the still looming plot points when you can have Milder and Scully get chased around by an evil automated restaurant they refused to tip. And somehow that wasn't a comedy episode. |

And somehow that wasn't a comedy episode. Yeah. I heard similarly discouraging things about the new stuff. That's a serious bummer, that it sucked to the point that Anderson quit over how poorly the whole thing was done, and what a disservice to fans the whole thing turned out to be. That's after squandering the second movie. And arguably the first! |
