Marvel's "Agent Carter" is set to deliver fresh, retro-cool pulp thrills as life after "Captain America" begins. The new series takes over Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." during its winter hiatus. The story revolves around Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), a resourceful secret agent that founded and led S.H.I.E.L.D, a spy/superhero mega-division that puts the CIA, NSA and FBI to shame.

Marvel's "Agent Carter" depicts the story of Peggy as she continues to live her life after grieving for Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). According to Las Vegas Weekly, she also attempts to balance an office job within the male-dominated Strategic Scientific Reserve while going on secret missions with Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper).

Peggy Carter's secret missions courtesy of Stark places the audience in an action-filled adventure that explores the psychological and emotional toll of a secret agent's life, People reported. While Peggy is brilliant, capable, fearless and witty, she was undervalued. But as the story progresses, men will see her potentials.

After complicated heroine Katniss Everdeen took box office by storm, it seems that a call for unsung heroines on television is greatly on demand. And "Agent Carter" will surely delight Marvel fans as it expands cinematic world to television. The series also promises thoughtful introspection, thrilling action and period drama charm, Screen Rant reported. The series also changes the rules of the superhero game where the story takes place in an era when women with power were all but nonexistent.

Though Marvel's "Agent Carter" will only have a summarized season of only seven episodes, the series is far more than just narrative empire-building. According to Mic.com, the series' timing has never been better as audiences have great opportunities to support women in the Marvel universe now.

Marvel's "Agent Carter" stands by the intrinsic significance of women's lives and stories. Nonetheless, the show is going to be good for everyone. It is not just for supporting women as subjects and creators, but for modeling and celebrating those women, which all audiences need to see. If sex appeal is the only way women can be valued in media, then the richness of the human experience offered in the series' storytelling is lost.

Marvel's "Agent Carter" is the culmination of television's recent attempt to offer an intense presentation on modern women's history, Los Angeles Times reported. The series, which shows Marvel's ability to mash up a comic book culture with the costume drama, kicks off on Tuesday, Jan. 6 with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. ET on ABC then will be followed by a regular timeslot at 9 p.m. for seven weeks.
