’Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ 4.02 “Meet The New Boss” Review: Jason O’Mara’s S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Debuts

#1- Jason O’Mara’s Charming S.H.I.E.L.D. Director

As someone who has gotten so used to O’Mara voicing Batman in the new DC animated films, it took me a few minutes to get used to seeing him in the flesh and now in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We have a lot of charming characters on this show, but what O’Mara brought to the table, outdid it because I couldn’t help but smile anytime he opened his mouth. This is a fun character and someone that I deeply hope doesn’t turn out to be a double-agent or someone that doesn’t end up going rogue later in the season. We learn that his name is Jeffrey and how he got to this position, but also one “tiny” detail: he is an Inhuman! I knew some twist was coming because there must have been some specific reasons why we didn’t learn the identity of his character at first when he got cast. Although his last name still remains a mystery. Either way, O’Mara’s debut was splendid and someone that I can’t wait to see more of.

Verdict: While the pacing was a lot more than I expected, “Meet The New Boss” was strong follow-up to last week’s premiere of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s new season, with an intriguing introduction of the new director. In addition, the continuing focus on the Ghost Rider and Quake dynamic was featured more this week which made me glad as I felt there wasn’t enough last week.

Grade: A
