E.M. Forster’s novel HOWARDS END was adapted as a feature film in 1992, winning Oscars for lead actress Emma Thompson, the screenplay adaptation by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and art direction. The story, set in 1910 England, deals with gender and class prejudices. Now Starz is bringing forth a four-part miniseries adaptation of HOWARDS END, which premieres Sunday, April 8. Matthew Macfadyen (pronounced, he explains, Mac-fad-ee-an) stars as Henry Wilcox, a wealthy man who falls in love with independent-minded Margaret Schlegel, played by Hayley Atwell, at the same time Margaret’s sister Helen (Philippa Coulthard) develops feelings for working-class activist Leonard Bast […]Read On »

In Season 2 of ABC’s MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER, Tuesdays at 9 PM, we’re still in the Forties, but we’re no longer in New York. Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter finds herself in the newly-established Los Angeles office of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (the precursor of S.H.I.E.L.D. – AGENT CARTER is a spinoff of MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD). Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj) is in charge, but office manager Rose, played by Lesley Boone, is the one who holds things together on a day-to-day basis. In Season 1, Boone’s Rose started out as a fake telephone operator at an equally fake telephone company […]Read On »

In its second season, ABC’s Tuesday night MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER finds the title heroine, played by Hayley Atwell, relocating from 1940s New York to 1940s Los Angeles. Peggy Carter, a British special agent working for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (the precursor of S.H.I.E.L.D. – AGENT CARTER s in fact a spin-off of MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD), spent the first season trying to clear billionaire inventor Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) of treason charges. It would be an understatement to say that Carter’s skills were underestimated because of her gender. In Season 1, she bonded with fellow agent Daniel Sousa, played by […]Read On »

On ABC’s MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER, which has its first-season finale Tuesday, February 24 at 9 PM, Hayley Atwell’s titular character is the reluctant ally of billionaire inventor Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) just after WWII. While Carter can’t trust Stark all of the time, the two of them both rely greatly on Stark’s butler Edwin Jarvis, played by James D’Arcy. D’Arcy, born in London, recently appeared in the feature films JUPITER ASCENDING and LET’S BE COPS. Last year, he starred opposite Chloe Sevigny in the series THOSE WHO KILL as a troubled American forensic psychologist. Jarvis is already known to Marvel […]Read On »

Cast: Hayley Atwell, James D’Arcy, Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, Shea Whigham, Lyndsy Fonseca, Kyle Bornheimer, Meagen Fay, Dominic Cooper Writers: Chris Dingess Director: Vincent Misiano Network: Airs on ABC, Tuesdays @ 9:00 P.M. Original telecast: Feb. 17, 2015 The penultimate episode of the first season of MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER was extremely good in wrapping up all the storylines going on the show in preparation for what should be a very good finale. In “SNAFU” we had the culmination of the arrest of Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), the reveal of all the things Peggy has been doing behind SSR (the […]Read On »

Original telecast: Feb. 10, 2015 As we reach the final run of the first season (and hopefully not the last) of MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER, “A Sin to Err” did a good job of bringing everything together for the final two episodes. The crux of the episode dealt with the revelation to SSR that Agent Carter (Hayley Atwell) isn’t who she has appeared to be to the […]Read On »

AGENT CARTER star Enver Gjokaj talks Season 1 – exclusive interview

On ABC’s MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER, in a limited eight-episode run Tuesdays at 9 PM, the title character played by Hayley Atwell has few allies. As a woman working at the covert government agency SSR, or Strategic Scientific Resources in post-war 1946 New York, agent Peggy Carter is underestimated by most of her male colleagues, who have no idea that she spends her out-of-office hours saving the world. Carter has one co-worker solidly in her corner, wounded WWII veteran Daniel Sousa, played by Enver Gjokaj. Gjokaj (first name pronounced En-vair, second name rhymes with “no pie”) previously worked with two of […]Read On »

Original telecast: Feb. 3, 2015 “The Iron Ceiling” was a turning point for Peggy Carter on MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER for a number of reasons. First, Carter (the lovely Hayley Atwell) got to showcase her kick ass skills by killing a slew of nameless Soviet soldiers and leading the SSR and Howling Commandos into a facility to uncover why a typewriter is giving instructions in Russian to […]Read On »
