Agent Carter was such an underrated show that was canceled way too early. Besides the show being underrated, Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter) is also an underrated actress. She's so beautiful that I think people tend to notice that more and not give her enough credit as an actress. She's both beautiful and talented. The show itself was so well done. Everything from the writing to the acting to the production was great. The attention to detail they put into this show is very impressive. The thing that stood out the most to be was the character development, you really seen these characters grow and you come to care what happened to them. This is a must watch for any Marvel fan or fan of spy thrillers.
Incredible really, how Haley Atwell and cast along with the writers, costume dept, action/stunt organisers as well as set designers have created something highly unusual: a high quality film production disguised as a TV show. So what exactly has Agent Carter done that's different? Well, dear reader, every scene's astonishing attention to detail might have something to do with it, suggesting the people involved love AC, having taken it to their hearts and boy does it show!
What an amazing breath of fresh air, the dialogue is exceptional, the period design extraordinary, the premise thrilling and the action exciting, somewhat more reminiscent of Indiana Jones than your typical TV fare.
Meanwhile, the ratings reflect audience appreciation, even though the show has not been marketed heavily, episode by episode the numbers have really started to pick up with DVR outdoing live viewing which itself is an outstanding achievement. Agent Carter compares very favourably to AoS as well as Gotham even though they both received a high level of promotion. It is this fact as well as all the other favourable elements that suggests Agent Carter is here to stay and hopefully other networks might learn a lesson or two on how it should be done.
I look forward to many more of Peggy Carters adventures with a reborn sense of fun and excitement!

Like most of the other reviews have already said...Agent Carter ended way too soon. It's easily one of the most underrated Marvel shows there is. Haley Atwell was absolutely terrific as Agent Carter. This show follows Agent Peggy Carter (from Captain America: The First Avenger) as she tries to stop new threats after the events of that movie and World War II. Carter is a woman who's surrounded by men at work that continue to underestimate her as she outsmarts and out fights the rest of her co-workers to become the best agent on the force. If you're looking for a good spy series that you'll have a blast watching then give this a try.
I rate Agent Carter 10 out of 10 stars! I looked forward to every Tuesday night checking in with my friend (yes, it felt like we were pals) Peggy. This show delivers everything I am looking for and need in television.
We have brains, brawn, beauty, brilliance...and that only covers some of the B-words! (I am being silly, but I could go on and on with adjectives) What I like most about this show is the promotion of women and empowerment. Women today can still relate to Peggy Carter because sexism is alive and thriving.
I love we see a strong and smart woman taking matters into her own hands and working on something she wholeheartedly believes in--and kicking arse.
Excellent writing, excellent action sequences, excellent supporting cast (Hey Enver!) and overall an excellent experience!!! Please deliver more AGENT CARTER !!! (A feature film or additional seasons of the series)

Agent Carter turns out to be an interesting espionage and period series. It serves as a nice prequel to Agents of SHIELD, and if not a better TV series overall, although it's early to tell.
All the references and "easter eggs" in the two part episode premiere are great but this is not what makes the series special, it is the feeling you get watching Agent Carter. The music, the cars, the typical diners, the jazzy clubs, 1946 New york,... All this elements make Agent Carter a stylish piece, relying on Peggy Carter, not only as an action hero but a woman in the 1940s.
If you love Marvel, you're going to have fun with this one. And even if you're a non-marvel fan-boy/girl, you'll be satisfied with the tone of the Series and Peggy Carter kicking some ass.
