Excuse me, does the fact that I am woman frighten you ?

I need some sort of place to fangirl so I shall do it here.

Exciting news ! Agent Carter has a TV series. It just release today and guess who couldn't be anymore happy? I have watched it, obviously or I wouldn't be typing this out. 

I knew the show was coming out, I just didn't really keep track because first of all, I am someone who pay quite a lot of attention to DC comics TV series. Not that I don't like Marvel, in fact Marvel is fantastic.When I saw through the wondrous internet that Agent Carter is releasing today,  I couldn't help myself. She was so badass in the movie, I reckon she will be the same for the show. Boy, was I right ?! She is literally the epitome of badassery. 

I absolutely adore her and it is only the 1st episode. Her character is written well, she is not just this Mary Sue character which I am always thankful. Let's be honest, we need more shows with female lead character that have personality and not just there for the sake of it.

Anyway, the first episode seem to start off well with a good story line and some great character (Peggy Carter, duh.) During that after world war 2 era, the society was still quite sexist. Society assuming girls are only good with paper works and housework. The show did show that aspect, which is good. Peggy Carter is literally the epitome of what I want to be. When some guy defended her from her colleague's insults, she politely told him that she didn't need his help. She didn't honestly because what is worse than showing your bully you need another people to help defend you plus she is well capable enough. She can handle herself well, thank you very much. 

In fact, since she is the only women in the whole office of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, they tend to treat her like a underrated secretary. Not letting her go out to the field even though she is twice more capable than half of them. She not only never let it get her down, she uses those sexism to get what she needs to get her way. She needs information on this guy? Sure, she will act like a secretary just to go into the meeting room, pour coffee and listen to those arrogant fools talk about it. She knows when to be passive,and deals with  the whole sexism issue with an air of sophistication. She is a someone who doesn't receive bullshit from people. I was just rendered speechless. 

Hayley Atwell is literally Agent Carter. Her acting is so good. Plus, she does her stunt. I am so glad they cast her to play Peggy. Chad Micheal Murray also plays a character in it (That guy who played the lead in A Cinderella Story) and Howard Stark returns to the TV screen ! Good cast, don't you think ? 

I do hope they do not give up on the series after a season. I hope the rating will be high because I see great potential in this show.I am utterly impressed by this show, my opinion may waver later on if they don't keep up the good work. (I am sure it won't because Marvel's writers are, in my opinion, so talented.)

Try the show. Who knows, you may love it.

Fun fact : Peggy Carter is now officially my new role model. 

A little update: apparently there is an another episode I missed so I shall watched that now. My opinion still stands.

Another update : Watched the 2nd episode. I am still utterly impressed.
