Every episode of this was brilliant. Way, WAY better than anything Agents of SNORE has managed to do in two (almost) full seasons so far, with the exception of half a dozen episodes when Hydra took over SHIELD. Meanwhile this engaged me week after week after week.
And I just LOVE Agent Carter. She. Is. Brilliant.
More of this, I hope. I would be extremely surprised if there wasn't any.
Your opinion is AOS is better. My opinion is I turn it on and twenty minutes later find myself surfing the web on my iPad. With Agent Carter I turned it on and 45 minutes later was gutted the episode was over.
I loved this series.
Atwill was simply superb. I can see many cosplaying as Peggy at cons now.
I was gutted when it ended and hope it gets a second series. I thought it was THAT good.
and Jarvis and Stark? wonderful.
This is a world I very much want to se more of.
So Marvel-more please
I watched all 8 episodes yesterday. It was very good but it's hard to compare with AoS as I see them as two different genres, really. Agent Carter came across as more of a period detective drama while AoS is a full-blown, high tech, special effects comic book action extravaganza.
If I had to choose I'd choose to keep AoS over AC but I'd prefer not to have to choose. They're both great shows.

It's a shame Peggy can't be in AoS, she'd make a great team member.
Perhaps they could have a time travel episode where she comes forward into the future.
It would really be a shame if Agent Carter was axed in favour of a Agents of Shield spin off. Hayley Atwell is a really good actress, where as Adrianne Palicki is absolutely dreadful & has the acting ability of a plank of wood.

Maybe I'm wrong but from what the rumors have been ABC/Disney planned to have seasons of 11-13 episodes of AoS then a break show of 8-13 episodes then resume AoS. The break shows would be Agent Carter or AoS spin offs. One of these would become a series show of 11-13 episodes followed by a break show followed by the season run. ABC has plans for 2 more spin offs of AoS at present. Based on the rumors one series would have AoS as the lead-in for the spin-off:
Show 1: at time slot 1
11 eps of AoS followed by mid-season Agent Carter or AoS spin-off followed by the remaining eps of AoS
Show 2: at time slo 2
11 eps of Spin-off followed by mid-season Agent Carter or AoS spin-off followed by the remaining eps of AoS
Right now, there's supposedly a 60% chance of Agent Carter getting a second series making this a possibility:
11 eps of Agent Carter followed by Spin-off followed by the remaining episodes of Agent Carter
just seen this , for me was very good not great, agree that it cleay does deserve 2nd series .
weakest episode for me was the last one , seem to finish a little early, but then again if it is to be a standalone single series, then it was probably an ideal way to say goodbye to the characters
I'm completely confused by the situation with Agent Carter as I've been reading a lot of different versions about a second season.Some saying its certain to have a second season to fill the winter break of AOS and others that say that it's been cancelled in favour of the AOS spin off show.I hope we find out soon though!

I don't blame you for being confused.
The problem with shows like Carter and with Constantine are the ratings. If they had won or done well against their rivals during the original airing, there would be no question regarding renewal. BUT, they didn't. Usually this means cancellation but there are other factors. It used to be that US networks gave shows 3 years to get their act together. That stopped for a while but the internet changed a lot of that and some shows that died an early death found new life on the internet and a steady fan base. And, no one wants to make the mistake of giving up on a show too soon.
Agents of SHIELD is a case in point. in the 1990s, that show would have been canned after the 12th episode but Disney didn't give up on it. And, it's been a marketer's dream for ABC this year. Another show like that is MERLIN. Sure, it was a BBC production but after NBC cancelled the US airings on its network, it lost big in the US marketplace even though it showed the subsequent episodes on its SyFy channel.
So, the networks are looking at other factors regarding demographics for a hint to gauge whether to keep a show or not. And as much as the initial feedback from the "fans" was negative, there's always been a core group that's stuck with Carter and that included among other things a key buyers market that's been untapped and a very desirable marketing demographic which makes Carter stack up really good against the competition. And, that's why the networks are delaying a decision.
Constantine suffers a similar problem but a US network like NBC has boundaries which the fans want to cross and its problem is where to put that show if it does get renewed.
Actually Agent Carter’s negative spin on ratings has been one of the most confusing things for me tbh, because it retained AoS audience, did well in the DVR ratings, and still was able to come second to the juggernaut that is NCIS. It improved 25% that timeslot for ABC which has always been one they’ve struggled to fill too. Then it’s managed to hit number one in teen viewership too, sure they don’t go and buy the stuff companies are advertising, but that’s pretty decent. It didn’t do bad at all really, but it didn’t do excellent either. Comparing it to ABC’s other mid season disappointments and its budget, it’s done actually pretty well. But the question is does Peggy Carter’s face fit at ABC? From what I’ve seen and heard, no it doesn’t. Can’t help feeling Marvel should have gone to Netflix with this tbh.
On another note, the amount of Peggy Carter cosplays at conventions atm is kind of extraordinary. It’s nice to see Hayley Atwell get a little bit of a fandom rallying around her too, I’ve always felt she’s been a great actress, and her performance in Agent Carter was truly excellent imo.

carter was a great show though.
Don't confuse your opinion with 'fact'.

So, yeah.
have their been any shock character deaths or truly memorable moments on AC? not really
however like i said before i really enjoyed the mini series, and i hope it gets a second season.
sometimes its possible to enjoy 2 things and not play them off against each other.
It matters in that the execs might cancel one over the other if they don't do well.
Also the only real shock death in AC was the one where the boss had to jump out of the window to save them all.
hopefully they both did well enough for ABC to keep them going.
yeh that bit was cool, AC had a more light hearted tone though so it was bit harder to convey tragedy for them.
Atwill was simply superb. I can see many cosplaying as Peggy at cons now.

A bit too bland for my liking but I do fancy her.
What spin off is that?
A Spin Off featuring
Oh no. not for me thanks. Sounds like a weaker version of AoS.
Of course it needs a 2nd series, it is about the creation of SHIELD, you can't get much more important than that in terms of the SHIELD universe.
I have to agree with you there.
A second season would be able to show the beginnings of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Thought that Hayley Atwell was terrific, especially in all those 40's fashions.......
Show 1: at time slot 1
11 eps of AoS followed by mid-season Agent Carter or AoS spin-off followed by the remaining eps of AoS
Show 2: at time slo 2
11 eps of Spin-off followed by mid-season Agent Carter or AoS spin-off followed by the remaining eps of AoS

Either way would be fine with me...:D

It's a pity that both these shows didn't get a proper full length first season instead of the shorter versions that we did get
I think that Agent Carter is more likely to get a second season than Constantine though!
