I'm not intimately familiar with 50's era US television, but from what I can tell they nailed the atmosphere, and the humor ties into the Marvel side of things just enough to prevent the old fashioned jokes from feeling stale.

The parts where reality seeps in are a welcome break from the zaniness and keep you guessing as to what is really going on. Olsen does a terrific job of switching up her performance when the moment calls for it.

Bettany is great too, he reminded me a bit of a less obscene Rick Mayall with his demeanor and appearance in episode 2.

Obviously things will need to start moving along from her on out, since the 50s schtick wouldn't work for a whole season, but these first two episodes are really encouraging.
