Agent Carter ... could be The Flash to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Arrow: the brighter, snappier sister-show that finds its footing much more quickly than its sibling.
To make Agent Carter work, and work well, Atwell and ABC knew she needed to be a relatable human first, and a subsidiary member of the populous Marvel universe second. Those priorities are straightened out efficiently on Tuesday's episode.
Marvel's Agent Carter is my favorite superhero show, my favorite Marvel show, and one of my favorite shows of all time. Hayley Atwell's performance as Peggy Carter is exceptional, she really gets to shine as the character even more than she got to in Captain America: The First Avenger and she puts so much emotion and strength into her performance and her performance and the character show that a woman can do a job just as good if not better than any man could and she plays a single working woman living in the 1940s having to juggle work, her social life, and dealing with the trials and tribulations of a woman living in the 40s perfectly. Hayley Atwell gives a emotionally powerful and inspirational performance, her performance is one of my top 5 favorite Marvel performances and Peggy is one of my top 5 favorite Marvel characters. The supporting performances are stupendous especically from Bridget Regan, Dominic Cooper, James D'Arcy, Lyndsy Fonseca, and Enver Gjokaj. The setting is outstanding, I love 40s look and it feels and looks really authentic. The makeup and hairstyling is phenomenal especially on Hayley Atwell, Bridget Regan, Lyndsy Fonseca, and Dominic Cooper. The costumes are excellent especially on Hayley Atwell and Bridget Regan. The props are superb especially the cars and guns. The makeup, hair, costumes, and props are all authentically 40s looking. The visual effects are spectacular especially the nitramene bomb explosions. This is an A+ first season.
A smart, interesting, engaging, amazingly well done show, full of action, style, drama, comedic breaks, dialogue, character development, villains and everyday heroes.
Casual viewers may be a little overwhelmed by the show’s strong connections to Marvel’s movie and TV continuity.... But Marvel fans will be delighted by the way the show fills in gaps and expands on the cinematic world, and setting the show in the past means that it has entire decades of history to explore on its own.
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.
I am attracted to black and white men but I think story between carter and the black doctor is a good positive one. It's based on common factors and not race,

Agent Carter got its moments with action and humorous events but it’s still greatly overrated. A less exciting plot and non-existing characters does define almost every episode, but it’s still a great refreshment on the crime genre with its stylish old theme and classic action. My expectations wasn’t that high, and after seeing this new tv-show by Marvel can I say that it’s a fine show and it did pay off in the end, and the season finale is superb. But the show does as mentioned have much less exciting events and some of the dialogs are so boring. But the action that does exist is perfect. The main characters are great too, but some of them are just so non-existing.
Agent Carter is a clever, cool, old-stylish and sometimes exciting crime show that got boring aspects, but the cleverness and the feeling to it really makes it entertaining (not to mention all the Marvel references). Even though my overall rating for each episode is 6.6, and that I should give it a 7, am I giving this first season a 6/10. It unfortunately needs much more excitement to it, if it’s going to earn a 7.
Agent Carter is like the show Star Trek Enterprise; a less impressive (prequel) continuation of the original show (in this case the Marvel movies).
6/10 C
This was a good period piece that added history and context to the Marvel Universe. It's not as compelling as "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," but I would be curious to see where this story goes next.
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. 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.
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 superhero, because they have to be so clever.
