this is actually the gummint good guys fighting to regain control after bad guys have infiltrated and serriptiously taken control.
You're correct, of course.
But the differentiation is so slight, that it feels pretty much the same to me.
"We don't know who we can trust!"
Whether it's someone in the Govt that has decided on a new pension plan/new foreign policy (total world domination); an outside criminal element corrupting and colluding with a Govt employee for personal financial gain, or an evil organization wanting to supplant the Govt with one of their own for personal wealth and political power for total world domination… It all begins to feel the same.
That said, I still like the show, especially Clark Gregg and Ming-Na Wen. Greggs dead-pan deliveries about S.H.I.E.L.D.'S name in Iron Man really cracked me up.
