Agent Carter, Ep 1.01-1.02, “Now is Not the End” and “Bridge and Tunnel”: Peggy Carter is definitely not a secretary

Agent Carter is an interesting property, in that it is a spinoff of an ongoing movie franchise centering on a major supporting character from that franchise who is also being portrayed by the same actress as in the film.

On top of that, the show has to fill in the blanks as to what has changed for Peggy since the war ended and her high-flying adventures alongside Steve Rogers came to a close. It does all of this succinctly, with the wise decision to pour a ton of background information out all at once in the beginning of the pilot and then sprinkle references to her time as Captain America’s sort-of-partner throughout the rest of the two-hour premiere.
