Hayley Atwell reprises Agent Carter in her own television series. Using clips from Captain America: The First Avenger, this series is set after the second world war as Agent Carter works for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR.) The organisation that was succeeded by SHIELD.
The SSR is male dominated and chauvinistic. Agent Carter gets the brunt of it.
With the paranoia that manifested itself in the USA of the 1950s. The American government are after Howard Stark who is held in contempt for failing to appear in a Congress hearing and regarded as a traitor for selling his dangerous inventions to the highest bidder.
Howard Stark turns to Agent Carter for help to clear his name and his butler Jarvis provides her with assistance.
This episode has a wonderful period setting, it looks good visually. In contrast to Captain America: The First Avenger which was shot in Manchester, England which stood in for New York.
The pacing is good. Carter glams up to use her feminine charms and also gets to kick ass.
The first episode is forming an arc, it has more organic links with the Marvel movies and it is clear money was spent here.
