    Because Of Priyanka Chopra I quit to watch the show - could you please Replace her- with a proper or any other Decent actress- don't get it why hollywood take her in- when she already turn flop in India and couldn't find any good movie due to her - dirty acting - and she entered in quantize and ruined entire episode .

    It was such a good one and I really liked the way they acted. The cast was really awesome, and everybody looks so perfect on their roles (especially Priyanka Chopra). I had a great time watching this.

    Just finished watching the Finale last week and it was a tear jerker moment when Ryan joined the woman he loves to run for their lives. It's just heartbreaking Alex is forced to betray her country.

    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

    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.

And to all those people saying this show has a PC agenda: if it does, it is wholly failing to carry it out. Characters often reference lots of things that are PC in ways that are over the top, insensitive, and sound ridiculous; certainly not PC, but it really does seem that the writers are actually trying to make their characters come off as aware and PC: Not working, writers.
    I hope the writers of this show stop writing it immediately. The characters are attractive, so that is nice, and it might have a plot that could be entertaining but not original if the rest of the writing (and acting) wasn't so bad, but that's about it.    … Expand

    Possibly the most horrendous TV series I've ever had the misfortune of accidentally putting on. Shallow, unoriginal and riddled with cliches. If you want to lose some brain cells, tune in by all means. For anyone to mention Homeland in relation to this is a crime against humanity. Homeland is absolutely superb in pretty much every aspect - This is world class garbage.

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.

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
