Agent Carter (2015–2016)
9/10
A show you don't have to be a superhero fan to love.

With so many superhero films in general with the same recipe, protagonist gets bullied, powers are thrust among him/her, uses their power to go up the food chain only to lose somebody or people close to them, gets their head in the game, stops the bad guy and gets the girl. Agent Carter is not like that.

Agent Carter follows the life of Peggy Carter after Captain America: The First Avenger, New York 1942. Peggy is at a disadvantage being a female spy working for the SSR, which she learns to use at an advantage when finding the real culprit and help a friend and ally, Howard Stark, with the help of Stark's butler Edwin Jarvis.

Hayley Atwell portrays a more relate able Peggy Carter rather than in Captain America she was more just as the love interest. Edwin Jarvis is a very straightforward man with some very funny lines and moments which shows his "goofy sidekick" side played by the fantastic James D'Arcy.

I was discussing the show with some family friends and they love watching the show with their 12, 15 and 10 year old.

If you're looking for a show for the whole family, but generally dislike Marvel films, Agent Carter will surprise you and keep you rooting for Peggy and her team. If you're a fan of Marvel, then stop waiting for the men filled Phase 3 and binge Agent Carter.
