Agent Carter is an excellent continuation to The First Avenger with near perfect production design.

Over the years I heard from time to time praise for this show and also that it was overlooked and underappreciated. The praises were ranging from hidden gem up to best Marvel TV show.

The praises were ranging from hidden gem up to best Marvel TV show. Finally I decided to watch the show and see if it is truly as good as these rumor say. To answer this immediately I say it is truly good and I agree that it is an awesome show. It is however a bit disconnected from the rest of the MCU as it is set slightly after World War 2 long before everything else except the first Captain America movie. It continues the story of Peggy Carter. Season 1: Peggy Carter works now for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) which will become S.H.I.E.L.D later in the timeline (or was integrated into it). Sadly despite all her skills and heroic deeds she is just seen as secretary by the other members of the SSR. Things change as Howard Stark (Tony Stark’s father) inventions appear on the black market and in the hands of enemies of the USA. He is suspected for treason and it is heavily investigated. The main story starts when he asks Peggy for help as she is the only one who he trusts and sees capable to find the truth. She gets the assistance of his butler Jarvis who is a man of many talents. I end it here with this set up to avoid spoilers. The story starts immediately strong and stays strong until the end. It is immersive, enjoyable and has good ideas. The twist work well and I enjoyed them a lot. The characters enhance the story and vice versa. Season 2: The season is set not long after the conclusion of last season as there are some developments but it could not be much time (Maybe a few weeks). The story starts with a women found encased in ice in a park. The odd thing is that this happened during a heat wave and that the ice does not melt anywhere how it should. The Los Angeles department of the SSR requests some backup from the New York SSR and so Peggy Carter ends up there. As expected this is just the tip of the iceberg and start of a greater adventure. The story works well. It is interesting and has some good ideas. To be fair I also say it is a bit stretched and I would say they could cut it down at least by one episode. I like the twists and plots which enhance the story. The strengths of the show are the story and characters. Lets start with Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter. Like before she is an awesome character and fully delivers. Of cause James D’Arcy as Edwin Jarvis is equally good and together these two made the show so enjoying. They have an awesome chemistry and their interaction aka relationship is a true strength of the show. Then of cause Howard Stark played by Dominic Cooper who has not that much screentime compared to the two but is interesting and delivers. He is a lot like brilliant inventor, playboy, **** slightly mad scientist and influential rich guy. In the SRR we get a lot of interesting characters with Shea Whigham as Roger Dooley, Enver Gjokaj as Daniel Sousa and Chad M. Murray as Jack Thompson. All 3 have character and interesting personalities. They work because they feel like real human beings with flaws and weakness but also strengths. There are of cause more great characters but I think for an overall review it is to much in the spoiler territory. Lets continue with the presentation. The sets look convincing and give the end of the forties feeling. Because I was not alive at the time and also be no historian I cant judge for historical accuracy. However this is an entertainment show so it is not that important. It is more important to convince the audience and give an immersive feeling and here the show succeeds. The costumes do this too and the action scenes are done in a convincing and intense way. There are not much special effects in season 1 and more in season 2. As per Marvel standards they have always great effects that enhance the experience. There are some smaller weaknesses here and there but not enough to weaken the experience. Overall this was a good show. Not the best but really good and worth watching.… Expand
