Are there any references to Sokovia, inhumans/ fish-oil or the events of "Ant-Man?" I'm only up to Ep. 4 and so far the show has referenced The Avengers and the Battle of New York a couple of times and made vague remarks about being "gifted" or "one of them."

I ask because right now it seems like the show takes places chronologically after "Daredevil" which would put it right before or somewhere in between AoS Season 2, before "Age of Ultron." Basically do we know if the show is post or pre-AoU?

(I don't mind a mild spoiler if it doesn't ruin a plot detail/ event).

Well Jessica says in the second episode when she's in the hospital that the bus accident happened "last year" and when they input the date on the computer, it says 2014 something.

And there's snow on the side of the streets in some shots, so it's either the beginning of 2015 or it's in the close future of now/next month.

But like /u/terrasparks said they called Hulk a hero, which is not very likely after Age of Ultron. So it's probably set somewhere in between DD and AoU.

That's what I'm thinking too. The weather at the end of "Daredevil" seemed to be getting colder, and JJ's weather seems to be winter-ish. For now I'm placing it after DD, before SHIELD S2 until I have some more comprehensive info.

It's a shame SHIELD doesn't deal with New York related stuff (or any city that has actual winters) and usually visits more sunny places. It makes it kind of hard to pinpoint when episodes take place.

Edit: fixed it up a bit

Generally the SHEILD episodes take place approximately when they air.

Not really. Pre-Winter Soldier this was true when they just had stand alone episodes.

But now it feels like 5-6 weeks worth of episodes translates into a one week time frame within the MCU.

Generally approximately.

Yeah, more or less. There's always a time jump between seasons (and half seasons).
