Episode 10 of Agent Carter is absolutely brilliant. My only complaint is that we did not see the return of that Pink Devil. But Stark did go for a swim in the nude, so I suppose the devil you know and all that. “Hollywood Ending” begins with a horror movie-esque Whitney monstrously chasing after Peggy […]
In this week’s Agent Carter double-header (“The Edge of Mystery” and “A Little Song and Dance”), allegiances are tested, faked, and then tested again. With Ana in a coma, Jarvis is a broken man. When he is bargaining out of grief at her bedside, his emotions are palpable and beautifully done. When she finally wakes […]
Agent Carter’s episode six and seven double-header (“Life of the Party” and “Monsters”) is full of twists, turns, and a $1,000 bottle of wine. It also broke my heart a little, but we’ll get to that. The crux of “Life of the Party” is the need to get a tissue sample from Whitney Frost […]

Neither, for that matter, is Whitney Frost, nee Agnes Cully. These two couldn’t be more dissimilar in personality, but the cores of the characters […]
Agent Carter’s third episode (“Better Angels”) is a delightful romp, with interestingly sharp undertones. If there’s one thing that sums up Peggy Carter, it’s something she says midway through the episode: “I’m going to poke the bear.” Peggy never sits idly by, which is evident in the opening scene, where she’s the only agent who […]
The double-header premiere of Agent Carter’s season two (“The Lady in the Lake” and “A View in the Dark”) starts off with action, misdirection, wit, and a smashing hat. Peggy (played by the charming Hayley Atwell) captures Dottie Underwood (Bridget Regan), who was wearing an approximation of Peggy’s trademark red hat. Dottie was in the […]
