Agent Carter

We spent the day chilling.  We watched WandaVision.  Rather, my wife and I watched it, my son came down and we watched the episode with him and then my daughter came down and saw the end.  He has found it frustrating that he has to wait a week for the next episode, but then this was an issue he has faced with The Mandalorian, one of the few TV shows he has not been able to binge watch the box set with.


We had a debate as to what we should watch afterwards, he wanting to watch Age of Ultron, and I wanted to watch the Marvel films in order.  We compromised and watched Agent Carter instead.  Sadly, my son went upstairs to get something and forgot to come down.  But the rest of us watched it and I have to say loved it.  It does portray the sexism that many women faced at the time, but ignores the racism that was present at the time as well.  It is interesting that a telephone exchange has such a large office within it as I think that it would be odd to anyone watching the exchange to see so many people leaving and entering it when the offices open and shut.  

It is also fun to watch a series where anyone English is not automatically evil.
