* {{Narm}}: Jarvis pulling his ear when he lies. The acting and direction both make it perhaps the most obvious "tell" ever put on screen, and it also doesn't help that there's zero foreshadowing for it.

He\'s still kinda a hate sink, so he\'s not so much clear of the scrappy heap as much as he is on a slightly higher part of the pile.

* LesYay: Some viewers, especially on Website/{{Tumblr}}, are already noticing this between Angie and Peggy. Angie is ''very'' insistent about wanting Peggy to move in with her in the same apartment building after Peggy needs a place to stay.

* HilariousInHindsight: The show features a RunningGag of Peggy accidentally knocking people out before she can interrogate them, while during filming Hayley Atwell had quite a problem with accidentally punching people for real during fight scenes.

Yes, it does help.


* {{Anvilicious}}: The series isn't exactly subtle about the era's sexism. Even Carter's counterpart in the Captain America radio show is reduced to a nurse and constant DamselInDistress. Of course, since the era's sexism wasn't exactly subtle either it may also be a case of SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.
