    Dun Na Na Na Na Na Agent...... Carter. BAM SPLAT KAPOW, but would you like a cup of tea with that?

    Is this show an intended satire? Into the genre that has become some kind of hipster craze into current tight fetish? Badly that all high speech used is audibly forced, but we really all don't speak like that, mickey.. Naff mostly unwatchable. Everybody is an idiot, that must make a

    Naff mostly unwatchable. Everybody is an idiot, that must make a superhero, because they have to be so clever.

    Une marvellerie marvelleuse pas merveilleuse du tout mais en vérité bien merdeuse, comme les trois quarts des productions Marvel (et plus si affinités) qui débitent leur ménagerie de super-héros idiots (pléonasme certes) à une cadence industrielle.

    Ainsi, ces aventures de la secrétaire du 'pitaine amerloca (aventures hum hum...) qui en a marre de servir le caoua à ces messieurs machos
    Une marvellerie marvelleuse pas merveilleuse du tout mais en vérité bien merdeuse, comme les trois quarts des productions Marvel (et plus si affinités) qui débitent leur ménagerie de super-héros idiots (pléonasme certes) à une cadence industrielle.

    Ainsi, ces aventures de la secrétaire du 'pitaine amerloca (aventures hum hum...) qui en a marre de servir le caoua à ces messieurs machos et qui décide d'aller botter des culs. C'est naturellement rocambolesque pour ne pas dire très bête et très con et on y croit déjà plus au bout de 2 mn de chaque épisode.

    Certes, ces dames pourront éventuellement se réjouir de cette héroïne féministe mais c'est l'arbre qui cache la forêt : quoiqu'elle fasse, elle reste une bécasse et l'actrice a été uniquement choisie pour la taille de son soutif. Et si ce n'était pas le cas, elle n'aurait rien à faire là puisqu'elle joue comme une cruche de toute façon.

    Sinon bah on s'ennuie énormément malgré le faible nombre d'épisodes puisque c'est écrit avec les pieds par des scénaristes surmenés. A éviter et à fuir donc.

    Between seeing Carter trick the men of the show - which isn't much of a feat given how big sexist drooling chumps they are - and Carter manipulating her boss into sending her home from work because she claims she is on her period, I'm really not impressed. Menstruation jokes and the main character making out with a criminal to trick him doesn't seem fitting.

Menstruation jokes and the main character making out with a criminal to trick him doesn't seem fitting. Not for this supposedly strong and clever woman who refuses to play by the men's rules (she in fact does that very thing through the entire pilot).

    This show is sexist in its very claim to have anything to do with feminism, and there is an abundance of shows with actually compelling and well-written female leads, sans using low-cut skirts as a secret weapon and menstruation jokes for cheap laughs.

    Users have described this as noir, but everything about the show feels fake and childish. The main character's accents are poor. The main plot is uninteresting.

The main character's accents are poor. The main plot is uninteresting. Agent Carter casually commits felonies on multiple occasions without good justification. The awkward mixture of high technology during the early twentieth century United States is jarring and promotes the ridiculous stereotype of a lone genius scientist.

    The devices and gadgets, in efforts to raise the stakes in each episode, have been written to be so powerful that any one of them, or even the implications of the technologies that would have been required to create the device, could drastically change future episodes, but each is hyped, hunted then forgotten: each mcguffins. This is an incredibly disappointing show that should have taken queues from the highly successful Bioshock franchise on how to do a satisfying mix of noir and tech.

    This is a throw away, boring, poorly written, poorly acted less than average show that maintains its viewership solely on its tenuous connection to the popular Marvel universe.

    For now, Agent Carter is a safe venture back into the World War II era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but “safe” is nothing to write home about.

    The show isn’t great yet, though it has potential.

    So far, the Disney experiment is working, if not always perfectly. Agent Carter‘s tone seems right and its lead seems perfect, helping the live-action wing of the Marvel franchise to evolve as it spreads across time into our current entertainment and its future.
