In typical Marvel form they leave us off with a cliffhanger at the end of episode 1 to get us more excited for the next episode. Luckily this time around they aired both of them back to back to create a full 2 hour movie like story. While this episode touched on some of the same notes as the first, there was a much darker feel to this one. And we also got a bigger sense as to who this Leviathan character really is.
Jarvis, who is in human form at this point in the universe, turns out to be a much bigger part of the show than we previously thought. He is pretty much the Diggle of this show but also has something else going on behind our backs. Perhaps it was too early to get attached to his character but I wonder what his and Starks intentions really are. I don't think Peggy is one to be bullied around so it's likely either she already knows or is bound to find out sooner or later that she seems to be a pawn.
Her and Jarvis' journey to find more about what was being stolen from Stark became more explosive this time. Joe Russo, director of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, helmed this second episode. Which is probably why the action looks so good. But it was also well written with a lot of familiar spy elements. It's funny how little respect Carter has around the office but how every time she is a few steps ahead of the rest of the crew. It may not be possible but wouldn't we all love to see her and Black Widow have some sort of team up? So through two episodes Agent Carter has my attention. It's 40's style dialogue and strong lead characters give this a unique feel to the superhero genre.
