Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Lorenz Rütter This is where we see Agent Peggy Carter in her first solo mission. How will it be seen after the Second World War and how it had gone beyond the loss of Captain America. Your male colleagues don't take you seriously and your career is pretty boring. Until a special case draws your attention to it: is Howard Stark a traitor to the country?In the first 8 episodes we will learn more about Peggy Carter's life. The other figures also delve deeper into it. I prefer to have the figure Dottie Underwood: She is actually the opposite of Agent Carter and certainly her perfectly equal.The set and the story, which plays in the middle of the 40s, is very well managed and makes the adventure harmonious. Also the music is well selected and has successful beads in it (e.g. Caro Emerald and Jo Stafford).The episodes are entertaining and has the typical sound of the MCU. This means that the consequences are coloured, has down-to-earth action, original figures and a sarcastic charm. Conclusion: A cool start of Agent Carter and one is curious how it continues in the second season!

generationofswine It's not unlikable. You can't put your finger on any one thing that was really bad.I've seen James D'Arcy in more than probably most people have. I've been following him since "Revelation" and he's not bad actor. He has range, he's never over stated...he just doesn't have a super star look to him. You can confidentially cast him a fair amount of roles.Hayley Atwell is not bad either. She's just understated in a way that works well for David Duchovny and would have worked well in the 90s, but in an era with an eye for the lavishly over-the-top, what is so nicely underplayed gets translated as "boring." What hurts more is that series is set in the Marvel Universe, but with a focus on spy noir and...not done with the heavy, borderline absurd and conspiratorial dialogue that worked oh so well for the understated acting of the X-Files leads.Still, the stories presented were entertaining enough, some even as catchy as a pop song. And they certainly played with the era the series was set in.the production was great and gave a "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" feel to everything, with the sort of over-saturation that never feels right for that time period and that story line.It was after all, the era before Kodachrome.Still, it did add to the comic book universe feel that Carter was a part of.The problem was singular, but enough to lead to cancellation. The writing and the universe it was set in didn't match. It was noir and underplayed...which is great...but it was also Marvel Comics which is light and vivid.In short, it just never fit together like it was meant to and that was a problem with concept.So it lost viewers.Couple that with an era that is proudly sexist and a female lead...and more viewers are lost through no fault of the show itself.Add to it the fact that Millennials are largely NOT interested in anything past tense, anything remotely historic and more viewers--in a key demographic--are lost and again through no fault of the show itself.Ultimately you have a great show released in the wrong universe at the wrong time.

Chappy Watched Agent Peggy Carter, for me, was one of the highlights of Captain America: First Avenger. You have this strong willed woman, who takes crap from no one – man or woman - and is beautiful without having to wear skintight clothing or be revealing.But given the time jump that happens in Captain America, you would expect that you wouldn't see her again. Then we get an Agent Carter one-shot, a scene in Captain American: Winter Soldier, appearances on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and then the announcement that we were getting a whole show dedicated to her character!I love the set up that ABC has as well, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D running for 10 straight weeks, Agent Carter fills the New Year gap for eight weeks and then we finish with the rest of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.I was very excited for the first episode, the most I've been for a while about a TV show, and I was not let down.I did find this show very hard to watch, quite a lot, only because of the way Peggy was treated by most of the men at the SSR. I got that we were seeing was how it was back then but it was still really hard to watch.Hayley Atwell and Enver Gjokaj are unquestionably the stand outs of the cast for me, loved their performances throughout the whole season but I have to say, I feel Gjokaj is kind of wasted. In Dollhouse, he was a brilliant character actor, taking on many different personalities and characteristics but hopefully it's something that will be explored if there are more seasons.A massive kudos to the writers for making me hate Chief Dooley for seven episodes only to turn it around in his final seconds!All the costumes, which alone are amazing, sets and props are pretty awesome and make it look and feel like we are there in the 1940s. There are also Marvel easter eggs to look out for and of course suspicions of pretty much everyone Carter works with or comes across.I really, really, really hope Agent Carter gets a second season. It may not get the massive ratings but it most definitely has the fans behind it, including me!***** SEASON TWO**** I always find myself worried about going into a second season of a television show; will it be as good? Better? Is this where the show dies a horrible death?I bloody love this show!With both season one and this season, I found myself liking Agent Carter better than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and I think part of that might be because it's a shorter show and with it airing in between Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D's midseason break.But by far, the best part of this show would have to be Hayley Atwell and the rest of the cast. Just the fact that the lead is a strong, smart, tough woman and the villains for both seasons is the same type of women. The addition of Lesley Boone as Rose and Lotte Verbeek as Ana Jarvis were amazing and had me always wanting to see more of them.Although he was married, I was worried that there was maybe going to be something between Peggy and Jarvis but with the addition of his wife this season, I'm really glad to see them to stay as just good friends.One other thing I enjoyed about the second season was moving the story away from the events of Captain America and Steve Rogers and having it focus solely on Peggy and her new adventures.I really want a third season and while this show may not be a ratings winner; this show has a stellar cast and great writing. I most definitely don't want Agent Carter sacrificed for Marvel's Most Wanted!If you liked the first season, you will like this season and then we will hopefully be seeing a third.

melgarcia40 Having binged-watched the show in less than a week, I was very pleased with this mini-series, although it fell a little flat in the second season. It might be important to add that I haven't watched any of the Captain America movies nor agents of SHIELD, and still enjoyed Agent Carter, so I don't know in which capacity this might have affected my enjoyment of it. I guess I missed a ton of Easter Eggs, but it also meant that I hadn't any specific expectations for the show to include any Marvel stuff in it. The show sustained itself overall pretty well, particularly thanks to a fantastic Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter, and an equally delightful James d'Arcy as Edwin Jarvis. This platonic relationship is by far the most enjoyable aspect of Agent Carter, with its wry, funny and oh-so- well delivered dialogue. I could have watched those two interacting and be happy with it, with the addition of Dominic Cooper, who constantly steals all the scenes he is in as Howard Stark Agent Carter was also a fantastic show in terms of female empowerment. Peggy's struggle as a woman in the 40's and her difficult path towards acceptation in the SSR was a very compelling story, that hasn't completely lost relevance nowadays. The second season also broached some very interesting points, such as the contempt for women in science, the pressure Hollywood puts on women (being told you are "too old" to be a lead at 35...) and racism. Unfortunately, the show lost a bit of its momentum and focus in the middle of the second season, and, despite some truly enjoyable moments, didn't manage to keep it dynamic enough, which was a bit disappointing. Notably, Peggy's SL was reduced to her love life, which completely undermines what S1 was about. The need for romance is something that in my opinion took too much focus, whereas there were lots of opportunities for the show to dig deeper in people interaction in general, and made the stakes for the central character a bit lackluster. It is said that the show will be canceled, but I would still recommend to watch the 18 episodes that were made over the 2 seasons: it is stylish, clever, funny and fresh for the most part
