More pleasing than "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and less annoying. As always with the Marvel Cinematic Universe products, it ties in very well with the rest of the MCU.
Strong acting and interesting characters makes it worth watching.

While the world is abuzz with Falcon and the Winter Soldier, let us not forget Captain America's first spin-off series, Agent Carter, which actually makes a pretty fun companion to it. The stroke of genius here is the addition of the real-life Jarvis as Peggy's secret assistant, as having two unapologetic Brits in American surroundings turns them into a prim and proper comic double act we got to enjoy for two seasons. The year is 1947, so Peggy has to deal with a lot of sexism, but as even the villains turn out to be top-level females, there's a good feminist undercurrent. Hayley Atwell is of course worth her weight in gold. The second season leaves New York for sunny Los Angeles, greater stakes, and more humor, and going in, I was afraid early cancellation would mean it all kind of ended with annoying loose ends. Each season does have a final scene that asks a question, which the series never answered for lack of time. Otherwise, the characters have their arc, confront and overcome their hardships, and there's a sense of an ending. No major cliffhanger to make the experience irritating. 3 years ago -

I'm sad to see this get cancelled today, as I really enjoyed it. I'll miss Peggy, Jarvis, and even Howard Stark. I wish we had more room for period pieces from this era on television. It's hard to believe this show couldn't make it but Agents of SHIELD could, because it just isn't as interesting to me. At least, we still have some good Marvel shows on Netflix. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Luke Cage. 7 years 11 months ago
