15 Recently Introduced Television Characters It Took About 30 Seconds to Fall In Love With

As the first (we hope one of many) season of Marvel’s Agent Carter came to an alternately exhilarating and poignant close, I realized just how quickly I’d fallen madly in love with the characters. Sure, Peggy had already been in the Captain America films, but I’d be lying if I said I’d paid much attention; I may have been distracted by uh, you know…

but, once we were immersed in her world, holy wow. After the finale, I immediately watch Justified, where another instantly beloved character had a bit of a moral crisis — and what do you know — another list was born. To clarify, let’s say “recent” means introduced within the past five years.

Arrow’s Oliver Queen (as played by Stephen Amell)

Arrow’s Felicity Smoak (as played by Emily Bett Rickards)

Agent Carter’s Peggy Carter (as played by Hayley Atwell)

Agent Carter’s Edwin Jarvis (as played by James D’Arcy)

Doctor Who’s Oswin aka Clara Oswald (as played by Jenna Coleman)

Doctor Who’s Master (as played by Michelle Gomez)

Justified’s Choo Choo (as played by Duke Davis Roberts)

The Fall’s Stella Gibson (as played by Gillian Anderson)

Sons of Anarchy’s Venus Van Dam (as played by Walt Goggins)

Fargo’s Molly Solverson (as played by Allison Tolman)

Revenge’s Nolan Ross (as played by Gabriel Mann)

Game of Thrones Ned Stark (as played by Sean Bean)

Togetherness’ Michelle Pierson (as played by Melanie Lynskey)

The Walking Dead’s Michonne (as played by Danai Gurira)

Downton Abbey’s Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham (as played by Maggie Smith)

I love how much fun these two have on set.
