Ranking Every MCU Show From Worst To Best

5. Agent Carter

Agent Carter is one of the more frustrating shows of the MCU. Not in regards to quality, though, but more for the fact that the sheer viewership figures of the show were so disappointing.

Picking things up with Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter in a post-Captain America: The First Avenger world, the premise of Peggy fighting to be a strong female figure in a 1940s landscape draped in sexism is a highly provocative one that had so much potential.

Not only did this idea sound great on paper, it proved to make for great TV too, as Atwell's character battled entitled men and nefarious atomic threats in each episode.

Having premiered in 2015, Agent Carter did do enough to warrant a second season, yet the handling of said season by ABC meant that it was often hard to track the series down to actually watch it.

Throw in a lacklustre promotional push for the series' sophomore year, and it's no real surprise that the show's average viewership numbers were down by nearly half for season two when compared to its debut year.

Even now, there's still a great sense of 'what if?' that surrounds Agent Carter.
