    This was a very enjoyable series and was fun to follow both the plot and the interaction with it and the other Marvel movies. The show was very chessey at times and that brought it down a notch for me. This would have been a much better shoe it was focused for a more adult audience.

    Having seen the now-final ep of the series "Agent Carter", I'm bummed we won't get a third season as I thought the entire run was just awesome! I mean, I loved the '40s period atmosphere, and Hayley Atwell was just gorgeous and charismatic as the title character. She was when introed in Captain America: The First Avenger and even more here and I loved her dialogue with Edwin Jarvis (James D'Arcy), Howard Stark's butler. The first season in New York when she started working for SSR, and the second season in Los Angeles had such compelling plots and characterizations, I never was bored watching the whole thing! Oh well, hope Ms. Atwell luck in her new series "Conviction" though I don't know if I'll watch that yet...

    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.
