Agent Carter: Season One Review

Now that Agent Carter's first spectacular first season is officially over (alright it has been for awhile, but I just haven't gotten around to reviewing), I figured it'd be the best idea to review it! Onto the review, as I always say!
Synopsis:
After her friend and former War ally, Howard Stark, is framed for the illegal selling of weapons, Agent Peggy Carter finds herself in the midst of a conspiracy that could lead her to discover secrets that may be better off left unknown.
Review:
Taking place nearly a year after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, Agent Carter pits Peggy against her sexist co-workers (well, with the exception of Sousa), the loss of Steve Rogers, and attempting to uncover the truth behind the conspiracy behind Howard Stark's framing. During this time, she's teamed up with Edwin Jarvis, Howard's butler.
The show has plenty of love able characters: Peggy, Jarvis, occasionally Howard, Angie and Sousa, for example. While other characters are a little less love able *coughs, Thompson *cough*, it works mostly in favor of the show. The show has more ties to the Marvel films that maybe Agents of SHIELD, as it features more characters from the films (no spoilers) then AOS (though that may change in the future). The show features plenty of humor, typically from Jarvis, and his friendship with Peggy is definitely one of the best features of the series, often leading to hilarious scenes between the two of them.
 The mystery itself is sort of solve able by the audience, and there is quite a lot of foreshadowing in previous episodes to future episodes that once you catch it, you can't help but go 'I'm such an idiot for not catching that'. The show also showcases Peggy's love for the then thought dead Steve Rogers, and typically in the most heartbreaking of ways.
  In all, the series is a fantastic, savvy and heart-filled tv show that is fitting of it's main character, and it'd better get a second season.
