My Agent Carter series review

My Agent Carter series review




Intro: You know for a so called strong female character she has a thing for men that most women don't want.  

Agent Carter: This series takes place one year after the events of the first Captain America movie and Agent Carter is now working for the SSR. One day she learns that Howard Stark is accused of treason and the SSR are after him. So, Agent Carter decides to help clear his name before the SSR finds out. 

This series is OK to be fair I wasn't expecting a lot for it. I'm impressed with how it captured the time period of the 40's from the set, clothes and music. This show doesn't have a lot of episodes that helps the writers focus on the story. The series also has entertainment value and I like some of the far fetch inventions in this time period. We also get an in-depth look into Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow's upbringing.        

There is much to say about Agent Carter because we don't know much about her. She seems to be a noble character, but we don't know if she was like that before or after she met Steve Rogers. I'm fond that she has to earn her stripes with her co-workers because that's what you have to do if you want men to change how they see you. We do get her backstory in one episode however I wasn't impressed with it because first of all it needs more context to how she when from point A to Point B. Second the episode that aired her backstory doesn't connect to the episode. The only gripe I have with her is the love triangle because it wasn't done well. 

Edwin Jarvis is Howard Stark's butler, he's the comic relief character. 

Daniel Sousa is one of Agent Carter's co-workers who's honorable and sticks up for her. What bugs me about him is that he didn't try hard enough to win her over. 
  
Of course, I'm annoyed with the feminist vibes in this show, is it really that hard to make a series with a main female character without making the men look stupid? Also, why didn't her male co workers have the same training as her? I'm also letdown that we didn't see how S.H.I.E.L.D. is formed in this series well to be fair we only got two seasons. Due to that I'm not crazy about how the last episode ended. Overall, this is a solid series I would recommend this if you enjoy female-led shows.
