Agent Carter Season 2 Finale Hollywood Ending TV Review
The big finale for Season 2!
Following the events of last weeks episode Frost escapes the Zero Matter black from Wilkes only to just absorb all its energy. They escape as she goes after them only to be hit by Jarvis and going back to make her next plan. She now wants to reopen the Zero Matter portal so she can harness all its energy and power, most of her thinking has been manipulated by the Zero Matter so nothing is really clear to her anymore.
The group re-team with Stark to recreate the portal ahead of Frost so they can stop her one last time! Using one of Stark's Hollywood lots, they use the area to create the portal to draw Frost out into the open. They set up and get ready because it is rather unpredictable what this Zero Matter will do.
The rest of the episode is relatively simple, with them stopping Frost, removing all Zero Matter from her and taking her into custody. They use Stark's flying car to dive into the portal because the fuel used would cause the right explosion to close the portal again. From there it looks like happy ending as Peggy gets ready to depart for New York. We get some goodbyes and a possible hint that we might be set in California a bit long?
Frost is sent to a mental institution where is becomes obvious she has become crazy now. The episode does leave on a cliffhanger when a rather important character is killed off by someone because he had a deleted file on Carter. Will we ever find out what this means? My guess would be to wait and see if there is a season 3.
I will say I liked this season of Agent Carter, if I were to describe it, I would say it was a fun ride! I like the setting change, especially because it is something new and different. Taking advantage of the setting and using real locations in California was nice to see as well. I also took notice that this season felt more like a team effort and less on just having Peggy do everything. This gave it the right amount of fun the show needed. A stand out was definitely Whitney Frost as the villain, What I looked forward to the most each week was seeing her progression from just an Actor to a Genius to a Crazy Villain. She was also a nice contrast to Peggy as we dived into both of their backstories.
I would like to see an Agent Carter season 3, if there was something I'd hope they do for the next season and the show overall, were to give it more a movie look than a TV Show look to it. Similar to how their Netflix shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones are. If they do that, Agent Carter could become one cool 50s spy show unlike anything we've seen.
