shapinglightHmm, not sure what's going on here. I'm actually quite enjoying the second season of Agents of SHIELD so far.
Spoilers behind cut.
That said, no matter how good it gets, it'll still be brought down by the utter crapness of the first season - and even so can't seem to resist bland, easy characterisations when it could do something more interesting.
In this instance, I'm talking about Hunter, who could have been a complex character involved in a double - or even a triple - cross, but instead has blandly fallen into line with Coulson and co.
I do like Raina, though, and Kyle McLachlan turning up is usually a good sign.
We'll see.

Visions of a better universe snatched away from me again.

If not, the audience will be left once again wondering, when, oh when, are these TV people going to get a clue?
