    It has all the things I'd like in a show but none of the energy to hold them together.

    Somehow, in its first two episodes, Agent Carter muddies this structure up so sufficiently that it does not even deliver its rote pleasures, as diminished as they may be.

    After two hours of Agent Carter this week, you're left with lots of mumbo-jumbo that doesn't add up to much more than an excuse for Peggy Carter to strain her nylons while jumping off moving cars.

And if you enjoyed movies like the Rocketeer then you will definitely enjoy this show. Watching the Flash followed by Agent Carter or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. makes for a great night of tv. If you're not watching both in a row or just this. You're missing out.… Full Review »
