4) SNAFU – Agent Carter
Sometimes a particularly good penultimate episode can best the finale, and this is certainly true of Agent Carter’s first run. Though the closer to the short eight episode season was highly enjoyable, the preceding installment was even better.
In many ways, this is the episode where the season’s many plot threads come to a head. Peggy is on the run from her colleagues at the SSR, Leviathan’s evil plan is revealed and there’s a shocking death of a regular character for good measure. It’s got everything you could want from the show. Try as it might, season two didn’t manage to top this one.
It’s not a standalone great like “4,722 Hours” but it makes great use of the brief season, providing a tight build-up to the finale in a way that few 22 episode seasons can accomplish.
