Marvel’s Agent Carter Season 1

As you can imagine this series evolves around Peggy Carter which we met earlier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America : The First Avenger. In season 1 we follow Peggy Carter after the war as she struggles to be taken seriously as a secret agent by her male colleagues. Howard Stark is framed for selling secret weapons to the highest bidder and asks Peggy for help to prove his innocence. Without help from her colleagues and only assisted by Howard Stark’s butler Jarvis, Peggy sets out on a secret mission to discover the truth and prove Howard Stark is innocent. The series serves up a nice mix of humor and action with Peggy Carter as the female heroine. She is independent, smart, witty and powerful but still very human, unlike like most other lead characters in the MCU. The blatant disrespect her male colleagues show her simply because she is a woman make you side with her even more in her solo quest for the truth against both ‘friedn’ and foe. The only drawback I found is that this high paced season is over too soon after only 8 episodes. On to season 2.
