ABC has cancelled their Marvel television series Agent Carter.

If the devil has all the best tunes, then Howard Stark has all the best lines. Five minutes into Season 2’s finale and Dominic Cooper returns as Stark – ready to brainstorm, quip and flirt with the best of them. Which is just as well, because it helps distract us from a surprisingly sedate closing … >
They say we’re all the hero of our own story – in which case, whose story do the people in Agent Carter really think it is? Is it the tragedy of Dr Wilkes, the softly-spoken, mild-mannered scientist who wants nothing more than a quiet life, but who against his will and despite his best efforts … >
I’m afraid that the cracks are beginning to show in ‘The Edge of Mystery’, this week’s episode of Agent Carter.

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” … >
