    Contrived tripe that is an insult to it's audience. Cliched, cartoon like characters with the charisma of plankton (sorry plankton!). A plot line that stretches credulity.

    This is to Homeland what CSI is to the Wire.

    So I guess it'll probably do pretty well.

    I'm guessing the actors were told to act like its 90210 or one tree hill.

    Looks like it'll be another feminist driven diatribe on how the human civilisation has gone wrong so far.

    First episode has driven as much feminist dogma down my throat as the story itself.

    Truly amazing.

    I don't think I will be watching the rest - if I wanted to study feminist dogma, I would join a gender studies course.

    Wow! I am STUNNED by the positive reviews this show has received. I was looking for something to watch last night and saw Quantico got a score of 70. WTF -- this show was garbage. It's low rate, convoluted story,
    and just typical bad network tv. This show will NOT make it past season 1. If i'm wrong, I'll retract this comment.

    This show is terrible. The portrayal of the FBI is insulting. Why not try and use some realism when creating episodes? Perhaps the actors are too shallow to handle it, or the writers just cannot come up with better material.

    The show's not bad, its just not very realistic. Yes, the FBI Training Facility looks less like a training facility and more like a resort for perfect-bodied people. And yes, sometimes the personal drama is a bit much. But what do you expect?? It's television! It's entertainment!

    The Problem with new shows is the fast storyline and too many characters to introduce but Quantico is not one of those pilots it is a very different kind of show it involves not one but two storylines which is something not seen alot on television anymore. The first storyline is Alex's Past and the present is where the FBI is hunting her . It is full of suspense and Drama.

    This show falls into the CSI Cyber camp of being so bad its almost entertaining. Laughably cliched characters that came from a cookie cutter writers room note book. The gay kid, the hot Muslim, the attractive rich girl most of them are so stupid they would barely be accepted into a community college let alone Quantico.

    Quantico squandered a promising start. The early episodes established distinctive characters within the large ensemble cast, and hinted at a long and potentially interesting story arc. Sadly by episode 4 this had been discarded in favour of histrionics, gimmicks and melodrama.

    Just what television needed: Another cop show.
    In this case the FBI should sue on grounds of defamation of character because this program sure lacks character when it comes to the acting abilities of the cast.

    Also why do TV executives feel the need to cast ultra-skinny models as these tougher than nails agents?

    "Gray's Anatomy" meets "Starship Troopers" This one's for those who are young and shallow. Delivered plot lines spinning like plates in a Carnie side show, characters too shallow to relate to, and dumbed down FBI academy hi jinks. Should have been called "Quantico High." It makes "Homeland" look like English Literature. Annoyingly filmed, badly edited, and with an adolescent screenplay.

    The best new drama of the season by a long shot. Hits all the right buttons with strong character development, action and intrigue.

It's got to a point where I would resort to pretty extreme messures to no longer have to listen to her whiney voice, jeses. Sure, she could probably play in a supporting role in a random TV show but actually carry it like she's supposed to do with Quantico? Please... give me a break.    … Expand

    I really had high hopes for this show. I was expecting it to be an intelligent action show that gives us some insights into the challenging FBI training. Sadly, it doesn't really deliver that. Instead the show is a disgrace for any FBI agent. I have a lot of respect for the people protecting our freedom and laws, but this show is presenting them as Barbies and Kens.

    The story is focused on the main character (Priyanka Chopra looks attractive, but she is a sad choice for an FBI agent). The plot is confusing and mostly makes no sense. If you want to sum it up, you could say that it is an ongoing switch between action and bed scenes.
    Let's hope this doesn't get renewed!    … Expand

    The first episode set the tone and it has been all downhill since then; the constant "dual plot flashbacks" makes keeping the entire idea that this is supposedly a TRAINING CENTER for FBI agents!

The remainder of the cast is made up of perfect bodies sans brains. They act like robots programmed to do only a set series of tasks in spite of the imaginary skills they supposedly possess.

    I now RECORD QUANTICO so when "Happy Holiday" time rolls around and viewing is limited to reruns I can give it another shot and see if my impression thus far is tainted by my dislike of the "dual storyline" garbage. OH MY GAWD! SHE SHOT HER POPS as an example!

    The lack of reviews is likely indicative of a lack of loyal viewers. I see QUANTICO being dumped at the end of the already authorized episodes. Right now it DESERVES to be cancelled - it is THAT bad.    … Expand

    This show is painful to watch. I understand its TV, but this is the most unrealistic piece of junk ive ever seen. Throwing an uncreative "twist" or "turn" into every scene is not good writing. The characters don't feel real at all, nor do their relationship. Anyone who likes this show does not know what good television is.

    Last year, Quantico debuted on ABC with an incredible story line and a new action star for the next millennium.

The show was so innovative and original, that it jumped quickly to the top of the ratings and was easily renewed. ABC thought the show was strong enough that it could draw viewers on any night, in any time slot, but they couldn't be more wrong. Quantico's first season was one of the best seasons of television I've ever seen, but it was the kind of story that left many viewers questioning, what else could they possibly do afterwards?

    In only it's second season, Quantico set two television records. The first, saw the biggest drop in rating ever between a first season and a second. The second, saw the show renewed for a third season, as it had some of the highest DVR and on demand numbers of any show ever! Quantico was renewed based solely on DVR and on demand numbers, something that is unheard of and as little as five years ago never would have happened.

    The series started with a bang, a big one, as terrorist blew up New York's Penn Station and immediately blamed for it, an FBI agent of middle eastern decent, Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra). She's an introverted person, and she knows she's been set up, by the only people who could have, one of her classmates from her time at the FBI academy at Quantico, she graduated from a year earlier. From there, each episode is a mix of Alex on the run in real time, trying to figure out who set her up and flashbacks to her time at the academy, showing her interacting with her classmates as she tries to remember anything she may have missed.

    TV shows just aren't written this well, it just doesn't happen, and when it does, it's usually in a ten episode cable series. I have never seen a network show that was this clever and gripping. Aside from the writing, Bollywood star, Priyanka Chopra, made the leap to Hollywood in a way that hasn't been done before. While Bollywood is just as big as Hollywood, it's biggest stars have never enjoyed the same success stateside, until now. She was beyond impressive and regardless of what happens with Quantico, has a bright future ahead of her.

    Season two just started streaming and it's next up on my list, but like many, I am beyond curious about what could possibly happen next. For better or worse, the mystery was solved in season one, at least that's what we believe. What could possibly be left for season two? We saw them graduate the academy and we saw the end of the case, supposedly (I'm still a bit skeptical), where does the series go for here. Quantico always struck me as that series that was one hell of an idea, but if it succeeded, and it did, how does one keep the story going and keep it going with the same intensity? Similar shows with big ideas and tremendous first seasons like The Killing, The Riches, Under The Dome, and Wayward Pines quickly fizzled out. Will that ultimately be the fate of Quantico, or will it stand the test of time?    … Expand

    "Quantico's" premise is pretty straight forward. Newbie FBI agent Alex Parrish is framed for a bombing that killed hundreds of people. Against all odds, Alex must prove her innocence. I initially enjoyed the show. The eye candy was great. Are no ugly people recruited by the FBI? The flash forward forward structure worked well. Each week we got a new reveal about a core character.

Here's where the show lost me though:

    22 episodes is just too many to spend on one story. Yes, I know this is how the Big 3 Networks typically operate. ("Quantico" airs on ABC.) This forces the show to slow down the pace to a molasses crawl and make a number of filler episodes.

    The characters are grating on my nerves. I'm seriously tired of Simon at this point. First he was gay (which was a lie). Then he was in the Israeli army. Then he says he didnt actually kill anyone. However, he did plant two fake bombs in New York (one under a synagogue and one under a mosque) as a way to to get both parties in dialogue. Someone then detonated his bombs. Say what? That's the stupidest story I've heard of.

    Caleb also seriously irritates me. My money is still on him as the actual bomber. But to be honest, I just don't care anymore. Sorry, NATs! After 11 episodes of "Quantico" I'm out.    … Expand
