Very poor writing, and weak acting.

I loved Hayley Atwell in Agent Carter. So, I was excited about this series. Its a major disappointment.

The the forensic analyst, whoever he is, is a lame actor. His character is weak.

The characters make stupid choices and Atwell's character has no redeeming qualities, even though they try to make her regretful and tortured. She's not. She's just a typical pampered, indulgent, narcissistic, modern person.

Atwell struggles with her American accent making her acting wooden and stilted. She's better than that, but the direction and writing is so bad no amount of good acting can pull it off. And, this is not her best work at all.

Episode 6 is where they jump the shark. The episode was offensive. It shows the shallow intelligence pool of the writers, producers, and the network. It is astounding that a show like this could have made it past editors to actually be aired. Everybody involved should be ashamed.

This show does deserve to get canceled, like it has. It's unfortunate, but hopefully Hayley can move onto something good now. This show is not worth your time to watch. Don't waste life on it.

score 2/10
