Peggy’s quest to learn the truth about Zero Matter steers her into a confrontation with her superiors, as barnstorming Howard Stark shows up.

I’m not quite sure what it is about this second season of Marvel’s Agent Carter, but it’s not capturing me as the first season did. The three episodes so far are much more in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. quality, and that’s a show I only watch because I don’t want to miss something when it comes to continuity.

This third episode has Peggy teaming up with Howard and Jarvis to infiltrate a club they are sure are is connected to what’s going on and they have clues as to what’s going on. It’s dumb luck and a bit too easy they figured that aspect out.

Then there’s this whole thing about gravity around Peggy. That aspect is beyond silly, and the reveal is so bad it’s almost comical.

The series so far has been taking some bad aspects and mixing them in. The Arena Club feels like a bad Hellfire Club knock off. The girl power from the first season is missing. The story’s progression is much too easy.

And when has Madame Masque had those powers?

Overall Score: 6.6
