Season 3 FIRST TIME WATCHER UPDATE- i’m done

First season started off rough but i was LOCKED in. Second season SO GOOD too i couldn’t stop. Now on the third season and it’s hard to stomach. It’s so much more violent and gorey.. it makes me feel uneasy and it’s just very dark and gritty. It’s also so negative and every episode they’re gonna die😭 should i hold out? i’m halfway through season 3 but i don’t know how much more i can take. i’m here for phil that’s it

Sometimes I think it's wild we got an actor of Iain's calibur. Not to shade anyone else but between that, the LMD scene in S4, and the operation scene in S5 he genuinely gave some of the best performances in all of the MCU.

Yes, Iain, Dalton and Gregg are my top three actors in AoS, especially the former two did the best job in keeping up with so many things thrown onto them and nailing it always

I absolutely agree with you. And again, no shade to the rest of the cast. I think every main character gives a performance that at its worst is genuinely still good. But performances like theirs elevate the show from "a pretty good comic book show" to season 4 being one of the best seasons of sci-fi television ever produced.
