Coulson is first introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie, Iron Man (2008). The character is seen throughout five movies of the phase one of the MCU.

The series follows the character, who is brought back from the dead, and answers questions of how he is brought back and why, while he builds his own secret team to protect the world.

Why you should watch
As someone who is a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this has to be my favorite series of the entire franchise. For most of the seasons, they tie into the movies. So much so that if you do not stop watching the series, to watch one of the movies, the next episode of the series could ruin the movie for you. However, the show can be fully enjoyed without watching the movies or any of the other Marvel television shows.
I enjoy seeing the character progression and how by the end of the series, they are a family. Most of them do not have much of a family, so I feel great happiness seeing them create their own family with each other.
My favorite character is Phil Coulson. He is such a good person that wants to always do the right thing and never hurt anyone. But he will protect those he cares about. He is a mentor and even a father figure to the rest of his team. While it is an action packed serious show, there are also funny light hearted moments such as the way Coulson loves his car, that he has named Lola.
Personally, I have cried watching many of the episodes because it is done so well that you really care about the characters and want the best for them. There have been shocking deaths and betrayals along with happy moments. I watched the show weekly while it was on air, but I have binged watched it a couple of times since it ended. I think anyone can enjoy this show and stay captivated enough to watch the entire series in a short amount of time. -
