Since I'm the Anon you've been talking with, I figure it's only fair to tell you that personally, I don't care that the accords didn't feature in the show. I generally consider the movies and the tv shows two entirely separate entities.
What I like and want to see more of in the tv shows is that realism with a dash of something else that DD season one offered. Right now, we still have traces of it left, and we can come back to that quality. Putting into that a flying robot, a norse alien-god, a billionaire building more flying robots, a green, shapeshifting giant, and three cold-war propaganda figures, and everything I like about any of these shows is gone forever.
So, we're probably even more widely different in our expectations for the shows than you thought, but not quite in the way you were thinking about :)
