Shows that feel likeMarvel's Agent Carter (2015–2016)
If you loved Marvel's Agent Carter, the closest series we have are Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013), Marvel's Runaways (2017) and Doom Patrol (2019). All three share Marvel's Agent Carter's contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Travelers (2016).
If Marvel's Agent Carter hit the spot, these will too

Spies doing Marvel's ground-level work while the movies take the glory
The difference: Modern gadget-team sprawl — seven seasons, none of the period charm

Underestimated heroes working against an establishment holding all the power
The difference: Teen-soap rhythms — parents, crushes, and secrets over spycraft

Both land stillness and ideas at once

A woman doing hard investigative work while men underestimate her at every turn
The difference: Noir trauma and menace — far darker than Peggy's pulp adventure

Street-level Marvel heroes working a shadowy conspiracy together
The difference: A quick crossover event — team banter over character building

Common ground: secret agent

A corner of the Marvel universe well away from the headline heroes
The difference: Famously the MCU's low point — stiff, cheap, and cancelled fast

A hero reclaiming their place in a world that moved on without them
The difference: Muddled and slow — the weakest of the Netflix Marvel run

A stylish retro-flavored bureau of secrets, missions, and dry wit
The difference: Timeline metaphysics pile up where Peggy keeps it human-scaled

Drama with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on sci-fi & fantasy

Drama built on ideas, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to mystery than Marvel's Agent Carter does
