Agent Carter Review: A Whole Lot of Song and Dance

Trust me, I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but this was another stellar two hours of Agent Carter. Now that there’s only one episode left (sob!), I’m comfortable calling this season an outright success. I liked last season a whole heck of a lot, but looking back, its real triumph was the setup it provided: allowing viewers to get to know the characters and developing their relationships with one another, making their scenes this season feel beautifully earned in a way they couldn’t have last year.

Case in point? That devastating Peggy/Jarvis scene in the desert that the writers and actors have been carefully, cautiously building towards since the day Jarv and Peggy met. And yes, I’m starting off with that moment because I think it was the best scene the show has ever done, particularly because of how earned it was. Peggy and Jarvis are best friends and partners, something that’s been established over the last seventeen episodes. That means they have each other’s backs, that they’re there to hold hands, fetch radios, plump pillows, and make tea. But, with that ability to provide support and comfort comes a painfully intimate knowledge of weaknesses, sore spots, and deepest regrets, and knowing exactly which button to push to hurt the other the most.

And that’s exactly what they did here, with Jarvis calling attention to the death that surrounds Peggy, and Peggy pointing out Jarvis’s naivety about their adventures up until now. Jarvis’s attack in particular was a low blow given the guilt Peggy already carries, as well as how hard she’s worked to let herself be happy despite the losses she’s endured. But despite the nasty words said, Jarvis immediately apologizing showed how much they still care, and will always care about one another. With the news he received about Ana in this episode, I understood why he went after Whitney and lashed out at Peggy, something Peggy herself luckily understood as well. Serious kudos to Hayley Atwell and James D’Arcy for that scene, and for generally making that relationship the best platonic male/female friendship I’ve seen this side of Parks and Recreation’s Leslie and Ron.
