New Winter Shows - The Librarians and Agent Carter

So I'm back with my thoughts on two new winter shows! Let's jump straight into it shall we? Warning: There may be spoilers below.

Up first is The Librarians on TNT! This show was one that I saw trailers for in the fall and I was very excited to check it out but when it aired, I had forgotten that I was interested. It was only by chance that I was watching something on TNT and a promo for the 4th episode aired causing me to remember how much I wanted to check the show out so I finally did. It is amazing! The show is very Doctor Who-esque and that's a positive! The characters are all very quirky and I love seeing them solve problems. Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses but as a team, they gel very well. Where one falls, another picks them up! Although at first glance the show seems procedural, the overarching villain remains constant and appears to be behind almost every problem the show faces which I love because you know how much I prefer serialized stories! It's a very interesting take on the mythical world and I definitely enjoy it. It airs Sundays at 8 on TNT and I definitely recommend checking it out!

Next up is Agent Carter on ABC! Everyone and their mother knows how much I love superheroes and superhero tv shows so you had to have guessed how excited I was for this to air! I watched the Agent Carter One Shot when it first came out and I loved it so much so I was pumped for this show to start. And can I just say, this show did not disappoint!? I sat through the two hours on the edge of my seat and excited as hell. Hayley Atwell killed it every time she was on screen and I loved the scenes Howard Stark was in! I can't wait until other characters from the movies (especially the Howling Commandos) appear! The show was very well shot and it was very reminiscent of a movie. The fight scenes and all of the spying was fantastically written, choreographed and shot. I loved all the undercover moments and how Peggy was basically ahead of all the guys. I also really enjoyed how although it appears that there will be a "big 'bad baby' [thank you Howard Stark] of the week", the show doesn't give off procedural vibes and each episode seamlessly flows into the previous one. I think the portrayal of the 40s was perfect although many would disagree because I don't think the show wrote the men as idiots. I think that all the men but one seem very smart but have a different mission than Carter so their focus is elsewhere until the two missions converge. I also believe the show hinted at the fact that these men weren't chosen to be spies in the SSR because of their skill but because of their war merits. If you aren't watching this show, I would definitely recommend that you should! It airs Tuesdays at 8 on ABC.

And that concludes my thoughts on these new winter shows! Thanks for checking in and leave your thoughts in the comments!
