A few things up front. I am current with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I watched the episode before Captain America opened and I watched the one that essentially spoiled the movie a few days later. I had a spoiler free post about Captain America: The Winter Soldier all ready to go, when this week’s episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. spoiled it, so I threw it out and wrote this.
Captain America’s trailers months ago led all of us to believe that he was acting less like Captain America the superhero and more like Captain America, an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Inbetweeners is a great show, full of the exact realistic awkward moments that most American teen dramas miss. Friends and friendships, cliques, families, booze, minge, clunge and sex.

The show exists as three seasons, six episodes a clip, plus one full length movie and another currently in production.
