I am really enjoying Agent Carter.  Actually, let me not soft peddle it, I am in love with Agent Carter.  I absolutely love the show.  Completely.  And there are lots of little reasons why but the big reason why is Hayley Atwell.  The way she manages to carry the show is just mind blowing.  I don’t even know how to describe it, there really aren’t a lot of one person shows out there, and obviously there are other cast members, but it is basically her and a supporting cast.  Even small cast shows usually have a core duo.  This is really here show and she is just… doing a hell of a job.  I have read a whole lot of Captain America over the years and the truth is Peggy Carter has long been there as a memory but has never really been much fleshed out as a characters.  You could argue she isn’t really one, she was more a plot device meant to inform two other characters and their interaction.  Right now we are seeing the rise of the character, we are seeing her defined in what will likely be the way we see her from here out and it’s all Hayley Atwell.  I feel like Marvel is so lucky to have her because she adds such depth and nuance, really the show and the character are so much richer for her presense.  I am blown away, I had no idea she was this good.  But she is.  And she is gorgeous.  So today I want to fuck Hayley Atwell.
