Agent Carter (2015)

Agent Carter is a stylish, fast-paced Marvel series that follows Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in 1946 as she pushes back against a world that’s written her off. By day she’s stuck doing secretarial work for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR); by night she’s Howard Stark’s clandestine problem-solver, teaming with his loyal butler Edwin Jarvis to clear Stark’s name and hunt down stolen, dangerous technology. Expect punchy espionage, noir-ish detective work, and period detail—tailored suits, smoky clubs, and postwar anxieties—balanced with sharp humor and emotional stakes rooted in Peggy’s loss and determination. Across two seasons the show shifts from a tightly plotted New York mystery to a moodier, midcentury Los Angeles story about the dawn of the Atomic Age and shadowy conspiracies, delivering action sequences, clever banter, and character-driven moments. Viewers will enjoy a blend of superhero-adjacent thrills, vintage production design, and a strong female lead whose grit and wit make the series both fun and resonant.
