I'm actually wondering how it is ppl are so against this show... boring? yeah. cliched? yeah. poorly written? def. poorly acted? sometimes...

And I'm wondering how you could write the above lines and be confused on this point. :-) I mean, if a show is boring, cliched, poorly written, and (sometimes) poorly acted, that's generally more than enough reason for me to dislike it.

Though actually I do think there are two additional factors to consider:

1) Disappointed expectations. On paper, the show had a lot going for it, and people were upset when reality failed to meet their expectations in any way.

2) There are a lot of people who feel compelled to watch the show so that they can participate in the MCU fandom as a whole: they're invested in the shared storyline and occasional crossovers between the show and the films, or they read and/or write fanfic and want the background knowledge, or etc. Speaking personally, if Agents of SHIELD weren't part of the MCU, I'd have dropped it long ago. So you have a situation where a bunch of people feel a bit like hostages to a show they dislike, and that just increases their (our) resentment and frustration when the show itself isn't worth watching.

#2 is exactly how I feel. It's canon and it's telling us a lot about the structure of SHIELD itself that didn't make it into Avengers. Some of it I like and some I don't, but at the end of the day, when I want to write MCU fic I feel like there's stuff I HAVE to know. Especially with the way they're talking about how it fits into Cap2.
