Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Slingshot

Marvel and ABC finally entered the digital realm with Slingshot a six episode web series set between Seasons 3 and 4 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Slingshot is a snack-size portion of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

Set between seasons 3 and 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot is a web series based around Yo-yo's unsettled score with Victor Ramon over the death of her cousin. She signs the Sokovia Accord contract, but then finds her hands immediately tied when the new Director refuses to hear her concerns. Aided by May she takes a Quinjet to Baltimore in pursuit of Ramon. She soon crosses paths with fugitive Daisy whose own mission has led her to Ramon.

Each episode is about 5 minutes long, meaning the entire series is shorter than a single full episode of the TV series. While it's a nice way to consume a snack-sized portion of the show, one can't help feeling this is just an episode of the show that was cut from the regular season and slit up into 6 parts. Nevertheless, it's nice to see Yo-yo get some time in the spotlight.

*** out of *****
