Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Holy moly I haven't enjoyed a series premier like that since Leverage! Really fantastic job by all concerned, from the cast to the script to the editing to the lighting to the sets to the plot. There's only 8 episodes so they're not dawdling about and cramming a fair amount in but it didn't feel rushed or bloated.

If I have any gripes at all, it's I think her male colleagues need to be made a bit smarter, else it's going to be really hard to buy this as the same agency Peggy worked with during the war and which is going to later mutate into SHIELD. Yes, sexism was rife, it was a different world for women, but I don't think they need to belabour the point and I also think no good agent would ignore someone with Peggy's war record which should still count for something.

My favourite line of dialogue sadly needs a bit of explanation which would kill the joke. So have my second favourite line of dialogue:-

"Hey darlin', what's your name?"
"Agent."

The remaining six episodes are totally going to have my full, undivided attention :D
