Literally found Season 1 cheap in January sales. Heard about it, never watched it until now. Just got done with the first episode that had Hill and Coulson, and the talk of the Avengers/Chitauri battle, but is this as far as connection to the MCU goes?

The first couple of seasons have some crossover, with the first essentially existing solely to fill in the gaps not covered by the movies. Sif shows up in a couple of episodes, Fury in a few more. There's a few bits of business that happen in the movies that are explained in the show (Fury's random Helicarrier out of nowhere in Age of Ultron is revealed to be given to him by Coulson, for example).
Once it gets to about halfway through season two it really drops any overt connections to the movies and becomes its own thing, which is really what it should have been all along. The show really took a hit from casual fans when it became obvious the Avengers themselves weren't going to show up.

With out any major spoilers... in the first season Nick Fury, Lady Sif, Agent Hill show up and there’s even a Stan Lee cameo. A lot of monsters of the week type episodes, they clean the mess left over by Thor: Dark World, but there’s also a lot of name dropping for the sake of name dropping, which does get a little eye rolling at times. Some of them even make little plotholes in the MCU, so it’s best not to think about them to hard. But if can make it to the point Winter Soilder happens, it’s some of the best stuff in the entire MCU
The second and third seasons are a bit of a mess, the cast gets huge, they introduce Inhumans and set up characters that were suppoused to get their own show but never do. They shoehorn a connection to Age of Ulton.
Season four with Ghost Rider and LMDs is the best season so far. They also stop name dropping so much but the connections are smaller but cooler overall, like bullets from Luke Cage,
Season five I’m a bit iffy on, I think it will come together soon.
