The first season of the American television series ''[[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]'', based on the [[Marvel Comics]] organization [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]], follows [[Phil Coulson]] and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on several dangerous cases revolving around [[Project Centipede]] and Coulson's mysterious resurrection following his death in the film ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' (2012). The season is set in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) and acknowledges the continuity of [[List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films|the franchise's films]]. It was produced by [[ABC Studios]], [[Marvel Television]], and [[Mutant Enemy Productions]], with [[Jed Whedon]], [[Maurissa Tancharoen]], and [[Jeffrey Bell]] serving as [[showrunner]]s.

[[Clark Gregg]] reprises his role as Coulson from the film series, and is joined by series regulars [[Ming-Na Wen]], [[Brett Dalton]], [[Chloe Bennet]], [[Iain De Caestecker]], and [[Elizabeth Henstridge]]. ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' was picked up for a full season by [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in May 2013, and filming took place primarily in [[Los Angeles]]. The main recurring setting of the season is the ''Bus'', a retrofitted [[Boeing C-17 Globemaster III]] plane that was designed by visual effects company [[FuseFX]], and created with CGI. Some episodes of the season directly [[Fictional crossover|crossover]] with the films ''[[Thor: The Dark World]]'' (2013) and ''[[Captain America: The Winter Soldier]]'' (2014), with the latter causing a major retooling of the season for its final six episodes. Several other actors also reprise their MCU roles in the season for guest appearances.

The season aired on ABC from September 24, 2013, to May 13, 2014, and consists of 22 episodes. Its [[Pilot (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|pilot episode]] was watched by 12.12 million viewers, the highest ratings received by the first episode of a drama series since 2009, but ratings decreased as the season progressed. The critical reception was initially mixed, but grew more positive in the second half of the season and particularly after the crossover with ''The Winter Soldier''. The series was renewed for a [[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 2|second season]] in May 2014.<ref name="S2Renew" />

| ShortSummary    = S.H.I.E.L.D. searches for one of its assets, Dr. [[Franklin Hall (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Franklin Hall]], who was kidnapped by [[Ian Quinn (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ian Quinn]], CEO of Quinn Worldwide, using a gravity-based device. Quinn wants to use Hall to take control of the planet's gravity by building a giant "[[gravitonium]]" generator. Heading to [[Malta]] with the team, Skye volunteers to infiltrate Quinn's mansion during a party so that Coulson and Ward can rescue Hall. Skye tricks Quinn into believing she is betraying S.H.I.E.L.D. for the Rising Tide. However, Coulson soon discovers that Hall perpetrated his own escape in order to find the gravitonium along with the generator and destroy both. Coulson warns him that doing so would end up killing millions. Their violent disagreement forces Coulson to send Hall into the generator, seemingly consuming him, but shutting the machine down at the same time. Coulson orders that the gravitonium be placed under S.H.I.E.L.D. high security and off the books; however, S.H.I.E.L.D. does not notice that Hall is still somehow alive within the gravitonium.

| ShortSummary    = Coulson and his team investigate a series of diamond thefts by Coulson's former protégé [[Akela Amador]], who is being blackmailed by an unknown handler using an explosive cybernetic eye. Coulson is able to take Amador to the ''Bus'', while Fitz and Simmons create a pair of glasses that hijack her feed. This allows Ward to carry out Amador's mission while the team attempts to disarm and remove her cybernetic eye. Ward completes the mission, discovering mysterious carvings, while Coulson finds who he thinks is Amador's handler, only for that man to be killed through a similar device to Amador's. With the cybernetic eye now removed, Amador is taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, though Coulson promises her she will have a fair trial in which he will testify for her. Before she goes, Amador tells May that something seems different to her about Coulson.

| ShortSummary    = The team investigate a series of deaths involving levitation and electrostatic anomalies. Although the team initially assumed the deaths were caused by some form of weapon, the cause is found to be an alien virus from a [[Chitauri (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Chitauri]] helmet salvaged from the [[Battle of New York (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Battle of New York]]. When Simmons is infected by the fatal virus, she and Fitz work feverishly on a cure while Coulson ignores a direct order from Agent [[Felix Blake]] to sacrifice Simmons and save the rest of the team. With time running out and unaware that their last attempt at a vaccine was successful, Simmons leaps from the plane, though Ward manages to save her by jumping out after her and inoculating her before she dies. May tells Coulson, who feels differently than he did before he died, that anyone would be changed by such an experience. The helmet is delivered to Agent Blake, who warns Coulson of the consequences of disobeying a direct order from headquarters, though Coulson dismisses this, accepting that he is different now.

In the present, Coulson and May infiltrate Cybertek (who they realize is connected to Centipede and Hydra) and learn that Garrett was the first Deathlok, his implants are failing, and he needs the Guest House drug to survive. The team travels to [[Havana, Cuba]], finding the recently abandoned Hydra base, and Fitz and Simmons find the captured ''Bus''. The latter are caught by Ward and taken aboard the ''Bus'', which departs. Fitz disables Garrett's implants with an [[electromagnetic pulse|EMP]], and the dying Garrett orders Ward to kill them. After the two agents lock themselves in the ''Bus''{{'}} infirmary, Ward ejects it into the ocean. Raina injects Garrett with her synthesized Guest House drug. Initially it seems to cause an Extremis reaction, but Garrett recovers. Quinn attempts to sell Deathlok soldiers to the military, and invites them to tour Cybertek's facility.

| ShortSummary    = At Cybertek, Quinn begins his presentation to U.S. military officials only for Garrett to interrupt and kill one of them. Evading the Centipede soldiers, Coulson and his team attack the Cybertek facility, with Quinn and Raina escaping with the Gravitonium, Skye saving Ace, May defeating Ward, and Coulson confronting Garrett. Fury rescues Fitz and Simmons, though Fitz is barely alive, before joining with Coulson to face Garrett, who is ultimately dispatched by Peterson when he learns that Skye has saved Ace. Peterson, unable to face his son, goes off on his own to redeem himself. Fury expresses his respect for Coulson, who he sees as an [[Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Avenger]], and appoints him as the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., leading the team to a [[Playground (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|secret base]] run by Agent Koenig's brother, [[Billy Koenig|Billy]]. Raina delivers a photo of Skye to a mysterious man, telling him she has found his daughter. Later, Coulson awakens in the middle of the night and begins exhibiting signs of the same enhanced mental capacities and fixation that Garrett experienced, compulsively carving strange symbols into a wall.

==Production==

===Development===
In August 2012, it was announced that ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|Marvel's The Avengers]]'' director [[Joss Whedon]] would be involved in an upcoming project for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], set within the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]].<ref name="Aug2012Whedon" /><ref name="July2012Kernel" /> A few weeks later, ABC ordered a pilot for a show called ''S.H.I.E.L.D.'', to be written by Joss Whedon, [[Jed Whedon]], and [[Maurissa Tancharoen]], directed by Joss Whedon, and executive produced by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Tancharoen, [[Jeffrey Bell]], and [[Jeph Loeb]]. Jed Whedon, Tancharoen and Bell were slated to serve as the series' [[showrunner]]s.<ref name="Aug2012Showrunners" /><ref name="Aug2012PilotGreenlit" /> [[Joe Quesada]], [[Alan Fine (executive)|Alan Fine]], and [[Stan Lee]] also executive produce. In April 2013, ABC announced that the show would be titled ''Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'',<ref name="Apr2013ABCAllAccess" /> and it was officially picked up to series in May.<ref name="May2013PickedUp" /> In October, ABC announced that it had ordered a full season of 22 episodes.<ref name="S1pickup" /> After the ratings for the early episodes were not to the liking of ABC, Marvel's [[Dan Buckley]] went to the network to request they allow the creatives to create the show they wanted, rather than try to work with notes from the network that asked the series to appeal to their main audience demographic, "upscale women".<ref name="LiveWithLilEp116" />{{rp|7:55}}

===Writing===
{{Quote box|width=33%|quote=From day one [[Grant Ward (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Grant Ward]] was Hydra in our minds ... if we felt like we needed other options, we could have changed. Here's an example of changing. We didn't know we were going to fall in love with [[Ruth Negga]] the way we did as [[Raina (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Raina]]. She came in for [[Girl in the Flower Dress|episode five]] but we thought 'She's cool' and so we brought her back. So what would have been somebody else became her, and as we fell in love with her character, we wrote more and more to that. We knew [[J. August Richards|J. Richards]] was going to be [[Mike Peterson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Deathlok]] but we didn't know we were going to care about him as much as we did ... We knew the kind of person we wanted to bring in as [[John Garrett (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|The Clairvoyant]] and we knew we wanted a mislead so we brought in [[Victoria Hand (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Victoria Hand]]. The fact that [[Bill Paxton]] worked out was fantastic. You're going to write that character in a certain way because of who the actor is, so that changes, but we did know we were going to introduce The Clairvoyant, that we were going to introduce he was Hydra and then use that to reveal Ward. Those were things we knew loosely.|source=—Jeffrey Bell, executive producer, on the evolving nature of characters and story lines throughout the season.<ref name="BellSep2014" />}}

Writers for the season include [[Paul Zbyszewski]], [[Monica Owusu-Breen]], [[Brent Fletcher]], [[Lauren LeFranc]], [[Rafe Judkins]], and Shalisha Francis, alongside Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Bell, and Tancharoen.<ref name="SeriesWriters" /> The character arcs were laid out by the series' creative team, with Marvel's only guidelines being to work around ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'',<ref name="BuzzFeedMay2014" /> which sees S.H.I.E.L.D. destroyed. Jed Whedon said on this, "if someone told you that concept, you'd think it was a great thing to have happen at the beginning of the show or the end of Season 3. To have it happen in the middle of your first season is an interesting kind of riddle". The writers worked to establish a "regular day at S.H.I.E.L.D." and the existing hierarchy, and then "to blow that up, we knew the way to best illustrate that was by putting it on a personal level with our main man Coulson".<ref name="BuzzFeedMay2014" /> Leading up to the ''Winter Soldier'' tie-in, the writers avoided talking about [[Hydra (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Hydra]] except in terms of their history in the MCU in order to avoid spoiling the film.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|156}} Tancharoen elaborated that "We see what it actually looks like for S.H.I.E.L.D. to crumble in ''Captain America 2'', we see the [[Helicarrier]]s literally barreling through the [[Triskelion (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Triskelion]], we see the massive destruction throughout the city, but the benefit of our show is we get to dive into the emotional toll of that."<ref name="BuzzFeedMay2014" /> Therefore, it was decided at the beginning of the series that one of the main characters would be a traitor, with Jed Whedon saying "since this is an infiltration based on betrayal on a massive scale, we wanted to have it on the small scale, and have it be a really personal dagger to the heart."<ref name="BuzzFeedMay2014" /> Executives at ABC did not believe having [[Grant Ward (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Grant Ward]] be the traitor would work, because they felt Dalton was too handsome for the audience to believe it to be real. They felt the creatives should change their choice, and were keen on [[Jemma Simmons]] being the traitor, since it would have been unexpected given she was "so sweet".<ref name="LiveWithLilEp116" />{{rp|16:03}} After dealing with the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., the writers were able to "put the pedal to the metal" and shift from the standalone stories preceding it to more serialized episodes. Whedon would later say this shift was where "we found our voice in the series after a rocky start".<ref name="EWLookBackAug2020" /> Zbyszewski added that there had been resistance early in the season from the network to have serialized episodes, over single mysteries per episode.<ref name="LiveWithLilEp116" />{{rp|9:15}}

On whether it was Marvel's idea or the showrunner's to have Coulson promoted to Director and tasked with rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. at the end of the season, Jed Whedon said "They're {{sic|one in}} the same. They have plans for films, and we have plans to intermingle with them, and it's the name of our show. The second to last episode is called "Ragtag", and that's a term we've used; we wanted to create this ragtag group, but within this giant organization with billions of dollars and support all over the globe and satellite feeds on their luxurious plane. Now we have a chance to start them over and figure out what it's like to really be a secret again."<ref name="BuzzFeedMay2014" />

===Casting===
[[File:Clark Gregg at NY PaleyFest 2014.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Clark Gregg headlines the series, reprising the role of Phil Coulson from the MCU films|alt=Clark Gregg at PaleyFest.]]
The main cast for the season includes [[Clark Gregg]] as [[Phil Coulson]], reprising his role from the film series, [[Ming-Na Wen]] as [[Melinda May]], [[Brett Dalton]] as [[Grant Ward (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Grant Ward]], [[Chloe Bennet]] as [[Daisy Johnson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Skye]], [[Iain De Caestecker]] as [[Leo Fitz]], and [[Elizabeth Henstridge]] as [[Jemma Simmons]].<ref name="NYCCCoulson" /><ref name="PilotSynopsis" />

In April 2013, [[J. August Richards]], one of the stars of the earlier Joss Whedon series ''[[Angel (1999 TV series)|Angel]]'', was cast in the pilot in an unspecified role,<ref name="Apr2013Richards" /> later revealed to be [[Mike Peterson (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Mike Peterson]],<ref name="PilotSynopsis" /> the first live-action portrayal of Deathlok and a recurring character throughout the season.<ref name="RichardsMarvel" /> [[Nicholas Brendon]], another Whedon collaborator, was also reportedly considered for Richards' role.<ref name="BrendonPeterson" /> In December, two recurring characters were set to be added to the series with the episode "[[T.A.H.I.T.I.]]" They were described as "an African-American agent who specializes in combat/weapons, and a high-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent/munitions expert who has past ties to both Coulson and Ward."<ref name="NewRecurring" /> In January 2014, [[Bill Paxton]] was cast as Agent [[John Garrett (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|John Garrett]], "a rough-and-tumble former cohort of Agent Coulson with a little bit of attitude and cigar-smoking swagger", for at least four episodes of the season.<ref name="PaxtonTVGuide" /> Jed Whedon said that "We actually discussed Bill Paxton in the room, when we were talking about the character ... Then when he came up as an actual possibility, we couldn't believe it."<ref name="PaxtonIGN" /> The next month, [[B. J. Britt]] was cast as Agent [[Antoine Triplett]], an associate of Garrett.<ref name="Britt" /> Other recurring guests in the season include [[Saffron Burrows]] as [[Victoria Hand (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Victoria Hand]],<ref name="BurrowsRecurring" /> [[David Conrad]] as [[Ian Quinn (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ian Quinn]],<ref name="ConradRecurring" /> and [[Ruth Negga]] as [[Raina (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Raina]].<ref name="Negga" /><ref name="NeggaRecurring" />

In January 2013, [[Cobie Smulders]], who played agent [[Maria Hill (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Maria Hill]] in ''The Avengers'', said that her character may make an appearance in the show and that her commitment to ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' would not prevent her from participating.<ref name="Cobie" /> Smulders reprised the role of Hill in the [[Pilot (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|pilot]], with Joss Whedon saying, "I wanted very much to have Cobie in the pilot because as much as anyone else, she {{em|is}} S.H.I.E.L.D."<ref name="Cobie2" /> Smulders returned once again in the episode "[[Nothing Personal (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Nothing Personal]]".<ref name="Smulders1x20" /> In June 2013, [[Samuel L. Jackson]] expressed interest in guest starring as S.H.I.E.L.D. director [[Nick Fury (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Nick Fury]],<ref name="Jackson" /> and subsequently appeared in the second episode "[[0-8-4]]".<ref name="Jackson084" /> Jackson makes a second appearance in the [[Beginning of the End (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|season finale]].<ref name="JacksonS1Finale" /> During the episode "[[The Well (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|The Well]]", [[Chris Hemsworth]] appears as [[Thor (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thor]] via archival footage from ''[[Thor: The Dark World]]''.<ref name="HemsworthTDW" /><ref name="HemsworthTW" /> [[Maximiliano Hernández]] and [[Jaimie Alexander]] also reprise their film roles, [[Jasper Sitwell (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Jasper Sitwell]] and [[Sif (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sif]], respectively.<ref name="HernandezSHIELD" /><ref name="AlexanderSHIELD" /> [[Titus Welliver]] reprises the role of [[Felix Blake]] from the [[Marvel One-Shots]] short films.<ref name="WelliverSHIELD" />

===Design===
====Storyboards====
[[Storyboards]] were used throughout the season, to "put the director, stunts, camera, FX and the crew on the same page", though Joss Whedon did not use them for the pilot. One of the storyboard artists, Warren Drummond, noted the process was different to that on films, because there was limited time to complete the work, and because the storyboard artists were often working with different directors for each episode. Most of the sequences storyboarded were action or science fiction sequences.<ref name="Storyboards" />

====Sets====
The main recurring setting for the season is the ''Bus'', a retrofitted [[Boeing C-17 Globemaster III]], that serves as both the transportation and headquarters of the titular team. The ''Bus'' includes such features as a soundproof interrogation room, a forensics and research lab located on the lower deck, where Fitz and Simmons work, and a cargo hold directly outside the lab where the team parks its SUV and Lola (which stands for Levitating Over Land Automobile<ref name="Lola" />), Coulson's prized [[1962 Chevrolet Corvette]].<ref name="TVGuide3.10.14" /> When designing the ''Bus'', production designer Gregory Melton began with the basic design and shape of a C-17, before adjusting it to serve the needs of the season. The main interior set does not have many obtrusions, allowing it to be seen completely at either end of the set; this was requested by Joss Whedon, which Melton called "a tall order" given it needed to include the command center, lounge, crew quarters and galley.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|35}} Construction on the sets for the ''Bus''{{'}}s interior, interrogation room, and Fitz and Simmons' lab, which first appeared in [[Pilot (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|the pilot]] and throughout the season, began on December 6, 2012.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|35}}

Between the filming of the pilot and the start of the season filming, Melton was able to modify the sets, such as new flooring and equipment to the lab and additional lighting fixtures in the command center. Melton explained that because of the quick turnaround needed for the pilot, some details had to be sacrificed until the series was picked up for the season. Coulson's office set was also constructed, first appearing in "[[0-8-4]]", which was envisioned as a [[crow's nest]], giving it [[Captain Nemo]] vibes.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|57}} The lower level of the ''Bus'' is first seen in "[[Repairs (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Repairs]]", which Melton designed to be "a modular area of the plane that is full of pods... [that] we can do anything with", changing based on the episode's needs.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|103}}

====Costumes====
According to costume designer Ann Foley, Coulson's suits, which she called "his armor", were more "streamlined" and a different cut than the ones he wore in the films, along with custom shirts and "slicker" ties. [[James Bond]] served as an early inspiration for Coulson's suits in the early part of the season, eventually shifting to a slim-cut suit. Additionally, Foley chose to avoid black suits and used solid shirts, another difference from the suits he wore in the films.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|218}} Conversely to Coulson, Ward always wore black in order to look "leading-man sexy" according to Foley.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|220}} May's flight suit was based on similar ones in the [[United States Air Force]] and featured "a tiny Y" [[3D printing|3D printed]] pattern that was the same used for Maria Hill's costume in ''The Avengers''.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|221}} For Skye, Foley wanted to set her apart from the other characters and looked to street-style blogs for design ideas. Skye's wardrobe was bright and vibrant at the start of the season, and slowly became more muted as the season went on to reflect her S.H.I.E.L.D. training and the season's darker tone.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|222}} Foley tried to complement the styles for Fitz and Simmons, while not dressing them alike. Foley liked "to mix feminine elements with some masculine" such as floral prints "and the Peter-Pan collars with a tie and blazer". Simmons is also seen in her lab coat more than Fitz, since she is the biochemist. With Fitz, his costumes have "a little more heritage", wearing vests, cardigans, ties, plaid shirts, and jackets with patches on the elbows.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|224}}

===Filming===
The pilot was produced almost entirely in [[Los Angeles]] to accommodate Joss Whedon's busy schedule,<ref name="Jan2013LeeInterview2" /> occurring from January 22 to February 11, 2013.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|31}} The season resumed filming on July 17,<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|51}} also being produced in Los Angeles,<ref name="Oct2013Armand" /> as well as [[Culver City, California]].<ref name="VFX1" /> Additional filming took place around the world, including in [[Paris]], France, for "Pilot",<ref name="Oct2013Dalton" /> [[Peru]] for "0-8-4",<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|58}} and in [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]], for "[[Eye Spy (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Eye Spy]]".<ref name="Oct2013Armand" />

The stunt coordinator for the season was Tanner Gill.<ref name="LacovaraInterview" /> Ming-Na Wen felt the stunt coordinators were able to "bring about [May's] skills" in a way that was believable.<ref name="WenHitFix" /> As with many Marvel projects, secrecy was a big issue. For instance, it was a challenge keeping Samuel L. Jackson's cameo in "[[0-8-4]]" a surprise due to "this age of tweets and spoilers".<ref name="BellOct2013" /> The showrunners had been exposed to this while working on ''The Avengers'', but with their own series they were able to see "all the details that go into keeping everything under lock and key".<ref name="BuzzFeedMay2014" /> Filming for the season concluded on April 9, 2014.<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|191}}

===Visual effects===
The visual effects supervisor for the season was Mark Kolpack,<ref name="VFX1" /> with Los Angeles-based visual effects company [[FuseFX]] the main visual effects vendor. Kevin Lingenfelser started the season focused on 2D supervising, but took over as lead in-house visual effects supervisor after episode eight from David Altenau. Two separate production management and creative teams were established to work on the show, with most of the episodes being worked on concurrently, either two or three at a time.<ref name="VFX2" />

[[File:The Bus from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.png|thumb|right|250px|The ''Bus'' is a modified [[Boeing C-17 Globemaster III|C17 transport plane]]. The digital model used in the series was designed and created by FuseFX.|alt=Digital model of the ''Bus'' from the series.]]
For the ''Bus'', Altenau explained that it "has all kinds of S.H.I.E.L.D. technology that is revealed over time as the series progresses. This includes an extra wing and engines in the rear giving the plane the ability to operate vertically for take-offs and landings, and even mid-flight u-turns ... FuseFX was given the opportunity to design the ''Bus''. The design included many features from the start, such as the ability to do vertical take-offs and landing". FuseFX designed the ''Bus'', and "Extreme attention was paid when designing the textures and rigging for this asset. Half a dozen 8k maps make up the details on the plane which allows the camera to get right up to the surface of the plane without any loss of detail. A very complex rig controls every aspect of the plane from the landing gear, engine transformation, doors opening, lighting and even the wings have flex controls for the animators to sell the weight of this massive aircraft. When the engines are in vertical flight mode they have several degrees of rotation which gives the jet a lot of maneuvering ability."<ref name="VFX2" /> 

FuseFX also worked on Lola, Coulson's vintage [[1962 Chevrolet Corvette]] which was described as "a classic car and beautiful in its own right, but through digital effects, Fuse has added hovercraft capabilities. When Coulson needs it, the wheel's rotate into a horizontal position, exposing hidden jet engine ducts that create lifting thrust through the rims of the tires, which double as turbo-fan blades. We worked closely with production to help design the mechanism and the look of the hovercraft engines. It's [[Stark Industries|Stark]] technology designed to be consistent with the period aspect of the car."<ref name="VFX2" /> When the real Corvette is shown transitioning to its hover mode, volumetric dust, exhaust, and particle effects are added. Occasionally, FuseFX was required to use a fully digital model of the car, which matches the real vehicle precisely.<ref name="VFX1" />

===Music===
In addition to the series' main theme for Coulson, [[Bear McCreary]] composed several other themes that he used throughout the season: themes for Mike Peterson and Project: Centipede were introduced in "Pilot",<ref name="McCrearyPilot" /> with Peterson's theme becoming "a distorted, metallic, angsty version" when he becomes Deathlok;<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|235}} a theme for the agents as a team was introduced in "[[0-8-4]]";<ref name="McCreary084" /> the Skye theme was introduced in "[[The Asset (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|The Asset]]",<ref name="McCrearyAsset" /> which over the season changes from something "sentimental and emotional" into something "really bittersweet,... tragic", and heroic;<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|235}} a theme for both Fitz and Simmons together was introduced in "[[FZZT]]";<ref name="McCrearyFZZT" /> a theme for Victoria Hand and The Hub, which served as the theme for "Big S.H.I.E.L.D.", as opposed to Coulson's "little S.H.I.E.L.D." team, was introduced in "[[The Hub (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|The Hub]]";<ref name="McCrearyHub" /> and individual themes for each of member of Coulson's team and "the Clairvoyant", which shifts to John Garrett when he is revealed to be "the Clairvoyant".<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|234}} McCreary felt the themes were not "just for specific characters" but a way to help "follow the narrative thread as the themes are transposed from one person to another".<ref name="S1Declassified" />{{rp|234}} McCreary opted not to reprise any themes from the films during the season, notably composing his own themes for the [[Tesseract (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Tesseract]] and [[Asgard (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Asgard]], which he acknowledged had already appeared in several films.<ref name="McCreary084" /><ref name="McCrearyWell" /> The soundtrack titled ''[[Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Original Soundtrack Album)]]'' featuring music from the first and second seasons, was released by [[Marvel Music]] digitally on September 4, 2015, and on CD in October 2015.<ref name="SeriesSoundtrack" /><ref name="SoundtrackiTunes" />

===Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins===
In June 2013, Clark Gregg explained how the series would tie into the [[List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films|Marvel Cinematic Universe films]]: "...the exciting part is going to be seeing the way that ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' interacts with the S.H.I.E.L.D. component in ''[[Captain America: The Winter Soldier|Captain America 2]]'', and the other movies, and whether those movies will then affect our show."<ref name="June2013GreggInterview" /> Joss Whedon did state that the show would be autonomous from ''The Avengers'', saying "It's gotta be a show that works for people who haven't seen the Marvel movies. It will please Marvel fans, I think."<ref name="Aug2012WhedonInterview" /> He reiterated that sentiment in an interview at the 2012 [[Toronto International Film Festival]], explaining "It's new characters. It needs to be its own thing. It needs to be adjacent [to ''The Avengers'']... What does S.H.I.E.L.D. have that the other superheroes don't? And that, to me, is that they're not superheroes, but they live in that universe. Even though they're a big organization, that [lack of powers] makes them underdogs, and that's interesting to me."<ref name="Sep2012WhedonInterview" />

Ultimately, the season featured several tie-in episodes with Marvel Cinematic Universe films: the episode "[[The Well (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|The Well]]" takes place directly after the events of ''[[Thor: The Dark World]]'';<ref name="EWNov2013" /> the episode "[[T.A.H.I.T.I.]]" introduces the alien race the [[Kree (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kree]] to the MCU (confirmed as such in the second season), members of which play a significant role in ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'';<ref name="BennetKree" /><ref name="BennetBellKree" /> and the episodes "[[End of the Beginning (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|End of the Beginning]]" and "[[Turn, Turn, Turn (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Turn, Turn, Turn]]" revolve around the events of ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier''.<ref name="ZapNov2013" /><ref name="HitfixPg1" /> Due to ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' revealing that Hydra had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. with sleeper agents, the season sees a retooling for the final six episodes. Regarding the synergy the show has with addressing events from the films, Loeb said "It's an extremely unique experience that doesn't exist anywhere else out there in the entertainment business". The characters simultaneously face Hydra and a power struggle within S.H.I.E.L.D., and trust issues with each other. Jed Whedon added that that Hydra sleeper agents, which the show could not address until after the release of ''The Winter Soldier'', was an attempt to address the lack of characters from the comics, a complaint fans had throughout the season.<ref name="USATodayHYDRA" />

Three episodes were screened before their initial air dates: "[[Pilot (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Pilot]]" at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] on July 19, 2013,<ref name="PilotComicCon" /> "[[Eye Spy (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Eye Spy]]" at [[New York Comic Con]] on October 12, 2013,<ref name="EyeSpyComicCon" /> and "End of the Beginning" at Marvel's [[PaleyFest]] panel for the series on March 23, 2014.<ref name="HitfixPg2" /> In September 2013, ABC announced the weekly companion digital [[aftershow]], ''[[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Declassified]]'', hosted by [[Brett Erlich]], The series aired on on [[ABC.com]], [[Marvel.com]], [[WatchABC.com]], and the [[Watch ABC]] app<ref name="Declassified" /> from September 24, 2013 to May 13, 2014, comprising 23 episodes.{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}}. Three expanded installments with guests were planned for the first season for its more "provocative storylines". [[Verizon Wireless]] served as ''Declassified''{{'}}s sponsor and created a hub featuring the aftershow alongside "live social feeds, Twitter polling, and sharable clips and graphics". Verizon was also the presenting sponsor of ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' on Watch ABC.<ref name="Declassified" /> Beginning with "T.A.H.I.T.I.", all episodes leading up to ''The Winter Soldier'' crossover were marketed as ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Uprising''.<ref name="Uprising" /> On March 18, 2014, ABC aired a one-hour [[television special]] titled ''[[Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe]]'' in the place of an ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' episode. The special included promotional footage for then unaired episodes of the season.<ref name="TVSpecial" />

==="The Art of Level Seven"===
For the final six episodes, Marvel began the "''Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'': The Art of Level Seven" initiative, in which a different image was released each Thursday before a new episode, depicting a first look at a key event from the upcoming episode. Bell stated that the initiative was a way to tie the series back to its comics roots, and was thought of at the beginning of the season. The production team tried to pair specific artists to the teaser posters based on their previous work and how it connected to the themes and emotion of the intended episode.<ref name="TurnTurnTurnPoster" /> The art also appeared as [[variant cover]]s to select titles published by [[Marvel Comics]] in August 2014. Jeph Loeb stated, "It's exciting to bring this art to life once more, exclusively at comic book stores, and to give fans a chance to own the ''Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' art in a different format."<ref name="ArtLevel7Variants" />

The poster for "[[Turn, Turn, Turn (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Turn, Turn, Turn]]", created by [[Mike del Mundo]], depicts a maze forming the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo and show title, with a rat inside.<ref name="TurnTurnTurnPoster" /> The poster for "[[Providence (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Providence]]", created by [[Paolo Rivera]], highlights the rise of [[Hydra (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Hydra]] by showing a melded Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, and depicts the team divided by Coulson, Raina, and Ward.<ref name="ProvidencePoster" /> The poster for "[[The Only Light in the Darkness]]", created by [[Pascal Campion]], focuses on Coulson and his cellist lover, [[Audrey Nathan]], while also hinting at the villain for the episode, [[Marcus Daniels (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Marcus Daniels]].<ref name="LightDarkPoster" /> The poster for "[[Nothing Personal (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Nothing Personal]]", created by [[Stephanie Hans]], shows Skye and Ward with Deathlok above them and the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo in the background.<ref name="NothingPersonalPoster" /> The poster for "[[Ragtag (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)|Ragtag]]" was created by [[Emma Ríos]] is an amalgamation of Ward's life, Fitz–Simmons in danger, and Skye behind the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo.<ref name="RagtagPoster" /> The poster for "Beginning of the End", created by Phantom City Creative, recalls the first, official poster, but changes the order of the characters, their clothing, and palette. Above them is a broken S.H.I.E.L.D. logo that reveal's Hydra's, which emits light that reflects onto Ward.<ref name="BeginningEndPoster" />

===Critical response===
The [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reports an 88% approval rating with an average score of 7.80/10, based on 72 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "''Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' is sure to please comic book fans, but the strong ensemble and brisk pacing help to make this better-than-average superhero show accessible to non-fanboys as well."<ref name="RT" /> [[Metacritic]], which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 74 out of 100 based on 33 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref name="MC" /> 

[[File:Agents of SHIELD - SDCC 2013.jpg|thumb|right|({{abbr|L|Left}} to {{abbr|R|Right}}) Gregg, Wen, Dalton, Bennet and De Caestecker were among those on the 2013 [[San Diego Comic-Con]] panel, where the pilot was screened to a positive crowd reaction.]]
The early screening of the pilot at San Diego Comic-Con was met with a very positive reaction from the crowd.<ref name="PilotComicCon" /> Critically, the initial screening of the pilot was met with mostly positive reviews, though ''[[The New York Times]]''{{'}} Brooks Barnes noted that "what goes over well at Comic-Con does not necessarily work in the real world," especially on a network with "''[[Scandal (TV series)|Scandal]]'' moms and ''[[Dancing with the Stars (American TV series)|Dancing with the Stars]]'' grandparents".<ref name="NYTPilot" /> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''{{'}}s initial reactions were that if everything that made the show appealing&mdash; its continuity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, its continuance of ''The Avengers'' storyline, and Whedon's return to television, were stripped from it, the show would still work. However, they also questioned whether the show was accessible enough to attract a wider audience.<ref name="EWPilotInitial" />

Evan Valentine, writing for ''[[Collider (website)|Collider]]'', divided the season into highs and lows: highs included the ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' crossover, with Valentine noting that "The creators had clearly known this moment was coming ... and did a great job of capitalizing [on] it," as well as other tie-ins with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he praised Gregg's performance, stating "What made us fall in love with the character from the first ''Iron Man'' to his death in ''The Avengers'' is still alive and kicking"; lows of the season included the episodes before the ''Winter Soldier'' tie-in, with Valentine feeling that the series "became the show that had to stall its developments and character building to make way for the [tie-in]." He also criticized the rest of the main cast, though he did approve of the guest and supporting cast members, and he criticized the series' use of minor comic book characters and concepts, singling out the costume design for Deathlok as "horrid" and not scary.<ref name="ColliderSeasonReview" /> Eric Goldman of ''[[IGN]]'' gave the season a 7.5 out of 10, calling it "a fun, lighthearted, but fairly disposable piece of entertainment", noting that it improved through the season, especially following the ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' tie-in, and that by the end of the season, the series "was starting to come into its own". Though he found the main cast's performances to all be good, and praised the strong guest and recurring stars, Goldman found the main characterizations to be weak during the first half of the season, and he also criticized the pacing of certain overarching plotlines, noting "the mystery of Coulson's return, Skye's parentage, etc. – moved far too slow, with relatively minor revelations treated as though they were big reveals".<ref name="IGNSeasonReview" /> 

[[Jim Steranko]], an artist and writer who worked on the ''[[Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (comic book)|Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]'' comic between 1966 and 1968, was critical of the pilot episode, lamenting that "the show had no menace, no tension."<ref name="Steranko" /> For the second episode, Steranko said that it was "too unfocused to be satisfying," but praised Jackson's cameo as Nick Fury as "an electrifying reminder of what the series could and should be."<ref name="Steranko2" /> In contrast, Steranko's opinion of some later episodes in the first season were more positive, congratulating the writer and director of "The End of the Beginning" for "finding an entertaining, bravura groove that finally brings the concept to life",<ref name="Steranko3" /> and saying of the next episode "I was concerned that last week's bravura transformation was only a fluke, but it was apparent from the opening moments that the exec lineup's new image-and-edit policy was in play."<ref name="Steranko4" /> Overall, however, he found season one to be "22 episodes of 'sanctified' plot and character crumbs being salted with terminally-sluggish velocity (into anemic 'standalone' stories)".<ref name="Steranko5" />

===Analysis===
Both the way the series was affected by the destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D. in ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' and the way its characters are depicted rebuilding the organization have been noted by some:

Terri Schwartz, writing for [[Zap2it]] following the airing of "Nothing Personal", called the series "incredible", stating that it "got off to a rocky start", but that changed once the ''Winter Soldier'' tie-in took place. Schwartz felt that the season earned many of its early criticisms from having to "bide time" until the crossover, but "Now that it has the freedom to be the series it was always intended to, ''Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' has turned into a fantastic show. Its connection to Marvel's Cinematic Universe is clear: This is where viewers get to see the fallout of Hydra's S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltration. And the fact that the movie so influenced the show is game-changing in terms of how the mediums of film and television can be interwoven."<ref name="Zap2itSeasonReview" />

Merrill Barr, reviewing "Beginning of the End" for ''[[Forbes]]'', reiterated this sentiment, stating that "the series finally stands its ground and stakes its claim as a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ... By establishing world changing consequences that don't just affect one MCU franchise, but all of them." He continues saying that "what Marvel's daring to say with this season finale is "everything we do matters, and you need to pay attention to all of it." ... It's been a long journey, and there's no question many viewers' patience wore thin toward the end, but that never stopped Marvel from pushing forward to one of the most entertaining hours of television this season and finally cementing a deserved place on the small screen."<ref name="ForbesSeasonReview" />

[[Mary McNamara]] of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' felt that the series "created a whole new sort of television show: One that must support, and change with, the plot twists of its film family ... never before has television been literally married to film, charged with filling in the back story and creating the connective tissue of an ongoing film franchise." She stated that the ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' crossover "infused ''S.H.I.E.L.D.'' with a new energy, and helped explain, perhaps, why the show took so long to find its footing—in the writers' room at least ... That ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'' was able to succeed as a story both independent and ancillary is all but miraculous." She concluded that the series "is now not only a very good show in its own right, it's part of Marvel's multiplatform city-state. It faces a future of perpetual re-invention, and that puts it in the exhilarating first car of television's roller-coaster ride toward possible world domination."<ref name="LATimesSeasonReview" />
