I just think its politics are really shitty.

And i'm not even referring to the racial and gender politics, I mean its political politics. It sold out its supposedly principled characters on the cheap by episode, what, five? To hell with that.

Oh definitely, the bullshit racism and sexism need to knock it the fuck off. And tbh I pretty much push The Girl With the Flower Dress out of my mind bc I hated that episode so fucking much.

But referring to that review, I've personally never seen SHIELD as the "good guys", but obviously YMMV. I've always seen them as a shady "Big Brother" type of group, like well-intentioned extremists. And they killed Scorch not because he didn't hide well enough, but because they didn't think to bring anything other than tranquilizer rounds (which is short-sighted) but more importantly he was killing people, and would likely have posed a threat to many others had they not taken him down. Besides that though, yeah I agree with the review.

Oh, yeah. Its politics have been completely horrible from the start, but I guess I expected that from a show about SHIELD.

I expected SHIELD's politics to be really shitty, sure. They are. But I thought the show would at least be nuanced - yep, they're shitty, but they think they have reasons, and meanwhile, all these opposition figures are serious, not frauds too stupid to know any better. But no.

I know just what you mean. I tend to mentally jam a lot of extra nuance into things that don't actually have any in order to go on enjoying things I probably shouldn't enjoy. But I know the show isn't actually written that way. :(
