I absolutely love this show!! I hope that with Disney+ will decide to revive it. I was hooked from the moment I watched the first episode through the very last episode of season 2. It feels like we were left hanging so please bring back Agent Carter.
Why was this show cancelled?! It was SO good. There are literally no words that I can use to describe the love that I have for Peggy and Jarvis's chemistry. I could have watched these two banter for ever. James D'Arcy and Hayley Atwell killed it in every episode.
I also loved the rivalry/respect between Peggy and Dottie. I would have loved to see more of them.
After binge watching the 2 existing seasons I rewatched every episode 3 more times in just 1 week. I literally cannot get enough of it. Please someone bring it back!!!!
Netflix, please be a dear and give us Peggy and Jarvis back.
Really loved the series cannot understand why or if the series has been cancelled.
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.

In the modern crossover universe of Marvel, agent Peggy Carter is a regular resident. Well now she has her own series, "Agent Carter".
Set in 1946 New York, the pilot establishes her connection to Captain Rogers then launches into a post-war story of espionage. Like a cross between "Dick Tracy" and "Covert Affairs", it is not necessary to know the Marvel history behind the characters in this show. Peggy works for a clandestine and patriotic organization (SSR) where she is often treated like most secretaries in the forties. This is one of the basic jokes of the series. Like Clark Kent, she appears mild-mannered, but she works behind the scenes as a lethal and effective weapon for justice and The American Way.
The production values are terrific--as in all Marvel stories--contributing to one of the most enjoyable aspects of the show: its immersion in the milieu of its time. The clothing styles. The technology. The idioms.
At the same time, the series tweaks technology when it comes to the gadgets that Agent Carter uses in her craft. Her devices are hybrids of forties items and more modern, even futuristic, technologies. Just as steam punk has a special charm, this hybrid technology--which we might call transistor punk--is whimsical and fun.
I recommend tuning in to "Agent Carter" to watch her strike a blow for America and, along the way, the downtrodden, while swing music plays in the background.
