Agent Carter is everything that the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn’t: riveting, exciting, perfect. It should have been harder for Agent Carter to please audiences because we already know that the titular character ends up a historical hero and founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Carter is the Buffy of the Marvel universe. A plot that would seem contrived in any other show seems necessary and vital here because of the challenges of the time period and gender. She is a secret action hero because of expectations and ignorance. The challenges are multiple: she must fight against her colleagues, her friends and her enemies. Unlike Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I never doubted that she was as good as she thought she was because she was actually better. I was constantly surprised and never predicted plot twists. Even episodes that seemed dull in retrospect were more important than I once thought, and I immediately had to rewatch it. Agent Carter was also not afraid to question the morality of each character, including Agent Carter. Agent Carter left me desperately wanting more, wisely kept it short and sweet and created a notable foil and foe. Agent Carter delivered movie quality TV every week in terms of production and talent. Everyone keeps asking when we’re going to get a Wonder Woman movie or a Marvel heroine. Asked and given: Agent Carter. If you’re not watching Agent Carter, you should question your life choices because you have failed yourself.
