Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell, reprising her role from the "Captain America" films) is an unstoppable secret agent for the Strategic Scientific Reserve, dedicated to fighting new atomic threats that have emerged after World War II. After working in New York, Peggy heads across the country to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet. As Peggy explores the bright lights of Hollywood and discovers new friends -- and perhaps a new romance -- a sinister threat emerges that could impact everyone she is sworn to protect.

Kelly Lawler USA Today 11/10/2021
A spy series with a vintage flair, Carter relied on Atwell and her costars' chemistry and charm rather than a deep knowledge of Marvel lore, to terrific success. Go to Full Review

It's a really good-looking program, doll. Go to Full Review

Yes, Agent Carter's greatest asset is that she's a heroine who can outsmart and outpunch any baddy. But while she's the main character, Peggy is pretty much the only woman in the show. Go to Full Review

If you're looking for an espionage lead you can really get behind, you simply must watch Hayley Atwell as the titular agent... Go to Full Review

Ezra H. @ezra67 Jan 1 This is a really good first, and the fact that the main character is agent Carter makes it even better as Carter is a very likable character See more Lucho G Aug 22 Hayley Atwell is amazing as Agent Carter. See more Salzan B Aug 21 When Marvel did good shows with great female characters that the fans loved. Hayley Atwell is great and really hot. See more Lavish C Jul 28 [SPOILERS WARNING] The FL is nice, pleasant appearance (which is not the same as "beautiful" but in this case there's also that), and talented. Most of the cast is good. I personally have issues with the FL's and Stark's butler's British accent but not a deal breaker. I also am not a fan of the retro look, I really get triggered by settings before the 90's for some reason. But again not a deal breaker. What I found to be a huge deal breaker in S1 are the plot holes and the nonsense. AND THE VERY VERY VERY cringe dialogues and interpersonal dynamics which I bet whatever you want it was NOT the reality of those times, but just a bad habit of old movies, which modern movies copy when they do things set in those times. So absurd. The Leviathan agent who keeps the stolen goods for himself, what a complete useless subplot in an 8 episodes story. They really must have lacked creativity if they so desperately needed to put this bs just to fill the episodes. Fact is, it makes no sense. Dude knows first hand how incredibly dangerous and far reaching Leviathan (proto HYDRA) is. Betraying them for some money is MENTAL. He is guaranteed to be found and killed before he can even sell the stuff, let alone enjoying the money. This is the first nonsense. Then, Stark, a WEAPON DEALER at the end of the day. Sure, visionary, genius, also possibly philanthrope in some things, probably honestly interested in making something good for science, medicine, humanity or at least the US. But also a WEAPON DEALER who created immensely dangerous weapons for wars. He KNOWS they will be used to kill people. But he gets all guilty because something he created made enemies kill each other. WHY? They were meant to die anyway, it's WAR. Do you REALLY think that war is not horrible as long as you don't use this kind of weapons? This was WWII. WWI was already enough to know VERY WELL how horrible war can be. The haunting stories of screams from soldiers in the trenches who were mutilated or even paralyzed and couldn't fend the mice who were eating them alive... That's just one of many horrible anecdotes. Why do you even make weapons if you have to go all guilty because enemies kill each other due to a side effect of something which was used without your consent? BS NONSENSE! Then the petty revenge of this hypnotist and how he staged a complicated ridiculous way to be brought to the SSR and f. them up. SO typical of comics. With the excuse that it's fiction, lazy incompetent writers have their character behave in nonsensical ways just for plot contrivance. This has NOTHING to do with fiction. It's just poor writing. These are just few examples. There's much more. The first 4 episodes were nice but the rest was garbage. Particularly the last one is so so so so so so so so so so so BAD. The use of Midnight Oil in the cinema, WHY? It only exposed their plans. Just go directly with the plane on the city, it's not like you needed to run a test anyway. And the villain jeopardizing the whole thing just to go back and improvise a kidnapping because it was even better if it was Stark to fly the plane (despite Stark not being guilty for what had happened to his brother). And the way they kidnapped Stark. OMG. SO MUCH NONSENSE one after the other! I swear, finding a well written American movie is like finding a needle in the haystack. But finding a well written American series is almost impossible. See more Ethan L Apr 18 Definitely one of the best seasons of TV show Marvel has ever made.
