Anyone watch the first episode? It was on Channel 4 tonight, so that's Fridays at 8 if you want to follow it in the UK, repeated Saturdays at 7.
I didn't really like the movie of The Avengers, to be honest, but this new series was more like the Joss Whedon I appreciate. Not terrific, but a nice enough setting up episode tying in with the third biggest film of all time and with a bit of Iron Man 3 added. Liked how it kept trying to wrongfoot the audience as well as the characters. Could be one to watch once its big arc is established.
Naturally, any big name superhero was noticeably absent, them being played by proper movie stars and all. But no Samuel L. Jackson, for some reason.
