Agent Carter

Like most of the other reviews have already said...Agent Carter ended way too soon. It's easily one of the most underrated Marvel shows there is. Haley Atwell was absolutely terrific as Agent Carter. This show follows Agent Peggy Carter (from Captain America: The First Avenger) as she tries to stop new threats after the events of that movie and World War II. Carter is a woman who's surrounded by men at work that continue to underestimate her as she outsmarts and out fights the rest of her co-workers to become the best agent on the force. If you're looking for a good spy series that you'll have a blast watching then give this a try.

Incredible really, how Haley Atwell and cast along with the writers, costume dept, action/stunt organisers as well as set designers have created something highly unusual: a high quality film production disguised as a TV show. So what exactly has Agent Carter done that's different? Well, dear reader, every scene's astonishing attention to detail might have something to do with it, suggesting the people involved love AC, having taken it to their hearts and boy does it show!

What an amazing breath of fresh air, the dialogue is exceptional, the period design extraordinary, the premise thrilling and the action exciting, somewhat more reminiscent of Indiana Jones than your typical TV fare.

Meanwhile, the ratings reflect audience appreciation, even though the show has not been marketed heavily, episode by episode the numbers have really started to pick up with DVR outdoing live viewing which itself is an outstanding achievement. Agent Carter compares very favourably to AoS as well as Gotham even though they both received a high level of promotion. It is this fact as well as all the other favourable elements that suggests Agent Carter is here to stay and hopefully other networks might learn a lesson or two on how it should be done.

I look forward to many more of Peggy Carters adventures with a reborn sense of fun and excitement!

In the modern crossover universe of Marvel, agent Peggy Carter is a regular resident. Well now she has her own series, "Agent Carter".

Set in 1946 New York, the pilot establishes her connection to Captain Rogers then launches into a post-war story of espionage. Like a cross between "Dick Tracy" and "Covert Affairs", it is not necessary to know the Marvel history behind the characters in this show. Peggy works for a clandestine and patriotic organization (SSR) where she is often treated like most secretaries in the forties. This is one of the basic jokes of the series. Like Clark Kent, she appears mild-mannered, but she works behind the scenes as a lethal and effective weapon for justice and The American Way.

The production values are terrific--as in all Marvel stories--contributing to one of the most enjoyable aspects of the show: its immersion in the milieu of its time. The clothing styles. The technology. The idioms.

At the same time, the series tweaks technology when it comes to the gadgets that Agent Carter uses in her craft. Her devices are hybrids of forties items and more modern, even futuristic, technologies. Just as steam punk has a special charm, this hybrid technology--which we might call transistor punk--is whimsical and fun.

I recommend tuning in to "Agent Carter" to watch her strike a blow for America and, along the way, the downtrodden, while swing music plays in the background.

I rate Agent Carter 10 out of 10 stars! I looked forward to every Tuesday night checking in with my friend (yes, it felt like we were pals) Peggy. This show delivers everything I am looking for and need in television.

We have brains, brawn, beauty, brilliance...and that only covers some of the B-words! (I am being silly, but I could go on and on with adjectives) What I like most about this show is the promotion of women and empowerment. Women today can still relate to Peggy Carter because sexism is alive and thriving.

I love we see a strong and smart woman taking matters into her own hands and working on something she wholeheartedly believes in--and kicking arse.

Excellent writing, excellent action sequences, excellent supporting cast (Hey Enver!) and overall an excellent experience!!! Please deliver more AGENT CARTER !!! (A feature film or additional seasons of the series)

Why was this show cancelled?! It was SO good. There are literally no words that I can use to describe the love that I have for Peggy and Jarvis's chemistry. I could have watched these two banter for ever. James D'Arcy and Hayley Atwell killed it in every episode. I also loved the rivalry/respect between Peggy and Dottie. I would have loved to see more of them. After binge watching the 2 existing seasons I rewatched every episode 3 more times in just 1 week. I literally cannot get enough of it. Please someone bring it back!!!! Netflix, please be a dear and give us Peggy and Jarvis back.
