K, so for anyone wondering, this is incorrect. The show precedes the One Shot. Thanks anyway OP.

Im sure i saw clips of the one shot in the show, in a montage right at the start,... yep just checked yes there a clip of her with the suitcase kicking a person through a window which was from the 'one shot'.

Yeah there was, I don't know why tey did that. The one shot ends with her leaving the SSR to run SHIELD though. This show focuses on her while in the SSR.

because its a piece of malleable fiction?

I kinda wish that they got Paul Bettany to play Jarvis TBH. Given that he is the voice of the Jarvis AI to Tony Stark

Will he not be appearing in Age of Ultron though? I imagine they don't want the same actor playing two different characters.

Just caught the first episode. Its looks awesome and sounds awesome. I got a kind of Bioshock/Rapture vibe from the way it was shot and the steampunk tech. The calibre of the cast surprisingly good and Hayley Atwell is the bomb. Can't wait to see more of Shea Whigham and Lyndsy Fonseca. Its definitely better than I expected.

Though I was raging when they .

Avoiding AoU stuff. Ha does AI Jarvis become Ultron

Spoiler for Age of Ultron regarding Jarvis.

It was leaked recently and more info about Ultron, google away.

Best compliment I can give this is that when the credits starting rolling I genuinely thought that was never 40 minutes!

It was good I thought. I'll have to give it a few more episodes before I'm fully into it though. I'm not quite sold.

I thought the opening show title looked a bit fan-fictionesque. I don't know, it just looked a bit rendered on my laptop.

As was said, the music was all over the place. Like some other posters, I get that it's post war, there's some swinging jazz around and all that but it was almost like they went madly out of their way to point this out, setting the msuc at high volume and the Jarvis scene, while funny, was way OTT.

The show looks way overly stylised. Somebody has gone a bit mad with the soft filter and that shot at th start with Capt. America and the plane was very much like something out of Star Captain. While it worked there, this was a bit much. The whole show has that sepia sheen to it. I get it, it's set in the 40's. Just show the show using the same lighting/camera styling as Agents of SHIELD. I'd get it if they were flashbacks or something but it's the whole damn show!

That being said, the Jarvis/Stark angle looks interesting and it has to be said that it enjoyed a much stronger pilot than Agents of SHIELD. The actress playing Agent Carter is doing a fine job and completely fills the role.

Hope this is the start now of more action rather than office scenarios, can anyone tell me are the guys with scars Russian or German.

So I'm guessing from the height and the fact it looked like a woman, I'd say the assassin is Dottie.

He, and the actor who plays him, are awesome!

The only problem is, when you have an actor of Gjokaj's ability playing a lovely spy you are just constantly waiting for him to be * Why else cast a man with that level of acting skill in this type of show. The same is true of Fonseca to a certain degree, she's a big enough name at this point that from the first episode you know it's unlikely that she's just the sweet, slightly comedic buddy.

*Not a spoiler just speculation but thought I'd er on the safe side for those not familiar with Victor.

Really good episode this week with the soviets firmly coming into the story. The gun battles were shot ok but I just enjoying watching a Marvel storyline not set in the present day. Bridget Regan/Dottie creepy again this week.
