Underachievement Unlocked

I’ve long thought it ought to be more common for TV shows with any sort of ambition to send skeleton crews abroad in order to make location scenes look more authentic than the usual green screen. So it was funny seeing Agents of Shield send an actress to Stockholm… for so little actual benefit. I mean, it had me googling their shooting location because the subway station looked too specific and too big to be faked, so the goal of making it feel more real was technically achieved — but it wouldn’t have changed the episode one bit to go the easier route and disguise a local station. But then, maybe I’m biased because I find the show thoroughly uninteresting.
