I loved it after the first two episodes, and after the third, loved it even more. I think it benefits by being a short series (though it could be renewed) with a more defined structure and plot, and unlike AoS, it wasn't hampered by waiting for events in the movie series to happen before the plot could really move forward. I guess it's more like the "events" from the movies have already happened (Cap's death and the end of the war), and it just picks up from there and takes off running.
As I'm watching, I'm flashing back to Hayley's many tweets apologizing to stuntmen and actors about hitting them. Now I see how that could happen, because Peggy gets to fight, and while she can use being female to make people underestimate her, if she's fighting, she's brutal about it.
I'm loving Jarvis too. I keep thinking that in a couple of decades, he'll be a man who influences young Tony Stark enough that he names his AI JARVIS. I'm starting to see why, especially after the revelations in episode three. But it's is kind of sad that Tony didn't really understand he was essentially being raised by the butler (and his wife?) because of his father's secret work with the SSR.
I think there's a bit of a gender role reversal with Peggy and Jarvis. Peggy is a spy acting as a spy within her own agency to clear the name of a friend and kicking ass while doing so, but Jarvis is shown as more of a "caring" type that women usually get slotted into, such as tending to Peggy's wound (and the line about Mr. Stark's zippers being under great strain had me in, pardon the pun, stitches). That's not to say Jarvis can't/won't do the spy gig, but he'd really rather it fit around his regular life so he doesn't have to let his wife know.
I'm really curious to know if we'll see Anna, and if there's a plot reason why we haven't. Was the name dropping of Budapest just an in-joke, or something else?
