Peggy Carter, special agent, and Mr Edwin Jarvis, chauffeur, make for an effective if unlikely team. She supplies keen intelligence and ruthless fighting abilities; he provides transport and a boot full of elephant tranquilisers. All these diverse skills come together in ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ this week, enabling Peggy & Jarvis to capture Mr Hunt the … >
At the risk of sounding like Agent Carter has been reduced to making the tea and filing, this week’s episode ‘Better Angels’ focuses on ‘a few good men’ at least as much as it does on ‘one good woman’. Let’s start with Dr Jason Wilkes, “a rare bird trying to do good in the world” … >
By the end of the first season, Agent Carter had finally come to terms with the loss of Captain America, so it’s entirely understandable that this year she should be getting back into the dating game. Unfortunately her first date with Dr Jason Wilkes begins with him risking his career and livelihood simply by speaking … >
‘The Lady in the Lake’ opens the new season of Marvel’s Agent Carter with a rematch between Peggy and ‘Dotty Underwood’, the one loose end from the first season (as a dazzling opening montage of last year’s run reminds us). Dotty is breaking into a bank vault, but the SSR are a step ahead and … >

In a neat parallel to the dramatic climax of the first Captain America movie, ‘Valediction’ sees Peggy in radio contact with the pilot of an aircraft loaded with deadly weaponry and on a seemingly-doomed mission. This time the pilot is Howard Stark rather than Captain America. And this time the good guys win across the … >
If last week’s episode of Agent Carter belonged to the women then ‘Snafu’, with all due respect to the title character, really belongs to the men. Take Mr Jarvis, the effete English manservant who serves both as Howard Stark’s representative and as Agent Carter’s foil. Full of inspiration and improvisation he turns up at SSR … >
Having variously punched, shoved and concussed what seems like every law-enforcement man in New York, Agent Carter is ironically brought down by a woman at the end of this sixth episode.
