MARVEL'S AGENT CARTER
January 10, 2015  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: This is a same-week repeat of the introductory two-hour block of the latest entry from the Marvel Studios universe of superheroes and not-so-super ones. Hayley Atwell’s Agent Peggy Carter, battling all sorts of espionage intrigue in post-WWII 1946, falls in the latter category: She is endowed with no special powers, other than keen intuition, impressive close-combat fighting skills, and the ability to look drop-dead gorgeous when choosing to go undercover as a voluptuous blonde. This series starts off with a clever tone, alternatively serious and playful, that it took sister series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. more than a season to find. So if you didn’t sample this new series yet, here’s another opportunity.
