It's after the war. Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) is working for the SSR in New York. She is still haunted by the lost of Steve Rogers. While she's dismissed at work, she works secretly with Tony Stark who is always in trouble. She is assisted from Stark's butler Edwin Jarvis (James D'Arcy). At work, she has to deal with sexist Jack Thompson (Chad Michael Murray) and Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj) who is in love with her. In the second season, the group transfers to L.A.
I love Hayley Atwell and she builds a fun partnership with James D'Arcy. Being a prequel does leave this less exciting. There is limitation to the drama when things are never in danger of going off the rails. It's also less than gritty with the wacky broad 40s style. It is still compelling because of Hayley and the relationships of the group. It's light fun adventure TV. ABC canceled it after two half-seasons.
