Loved it. In an era with lots of comic books heroes on TV (ARROW, THE FLASH, GOTHAM, AGENTS OF SHIELD), AGENT CARTER rose to the top and bested them all. I loved it. Can't wait for the DVDs, and I hope we get a Season 2.
Agent Carter was good but I like The Flash better to be honest. The end was pretty good but at about episode 4 it seemed to lag a bit until episode 7. However I heard of an interesting and if true awesome rumor from Agent Carter.
Spoiler
As we saw in the final episode, Howard Stark was put under mind control by Johann Fennhoff. The theory is that it was thanks to one of the rings of the Mandarin, the liar.

I like THE FLASH a lot too -- and ARROW. Both very fun shows. But they both suffer from a similar fault: a lot of the writing and direction has a soap opera element to it. A character will finish a scene with a portentous line (a real duh-duh-DUUUUUH), the camera will linger on them, cue the melodramatic music, then on to next scene. It's a technique used so much by daytime soaps that it became sort of a joke. But I see the same technique used at least two or three times in every episode of FLASH and ARROW. It makes me wonder if a lot of the directors got their start in daytime soaps.

That would be very, very cool. I really hope AGENT CARTER gets a second season.
I've noticed that soap opera type shows are becoming more common on prime time. Some I like, others I don't. There's a line that prime time shows shouldn't cross.

Which I somewhat see on The Flash but we need to remember it is a CW show and CW even back into the day as the WB had a number of teen dramas (sopas for young people) even Smallville was. Me, I see Flash as an action show with aspects of a teen drama, which is why it is doing so well, it hit as many different quadrants whether it is traditional CW teen drama viewers, young super hero fans, the obsessive comic book fans and even older comic readers. Also it helps it is I believe TV-PG.
Agent Carter however was a kinda sort of Mad Men in the post Captain America world of the marvel cinematic universe. I don't know why but like Agents of Shield, it didn't do that great on the ratings.
I think unlike say Gotham the production values of the Agents shows look cheap compared to Captain America. The pre Winter Soldier marking time didn't leave the viewer with an ideal that the case of the week would lead to anything more than a NCIS case of the week. And the older base of their ratings numbers wouldn't know of the comics going on after they stopped collecting.
