    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.

    Absolutely brilliant. So many twists and I was thrilled for whole one hour. Priyanka Chopra is Outstanding as Alex Parrish and the whole cast is incredible.

    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.

    Quantico is fantastic and entertaining. It has many twists and after watching few episodes, you want to know, who the real terrorist is. Shortly after watching the first episode I actually was a little bit disappointed because my expectations of the very first show were very high. I thought that there would be more action.

    This show is like Homeland for toddlers. It's a bunch of pretty people playing grab ass with anti-terrorism training as a backdrop. The fact that this show is a hit says a lot about what passes for entertainment nowadays. Pass!

    I have liked the first 2 episodes and I want to come back for more. However, I am concerned it is a bit "action show by the numbers". Over drama and under character development. I do have to suspend a lot of belief.

    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.

    Maybe there's a halfway decent story buried somewhere deep inside. But it's ruined by a laughable attempt to portray FBI training as a series of reality-TV stunts populated by bimbettes in tight, low-cut T-shirts.

    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?

    this is bad. really bad. the story and dialogs predictable and stretched out. the roles/characters/themes (gay, twins, family matters, love..) are turned into ridicule,that I am just feeling embarrassed for the targeted groups... and yes, this is a story of how hard the training and life of soon-to-be-agent is - just doesn't look like it.

    After the pilot, it seems the makers have just lost the will to make the series successful. In the 3rd episode it seems everyone just want to finish their respective contracts and move on.

    I can't believe the positive reviews this garbage gets. I had to force myself to finish watching the pilot and started watched the second episode when it was on. I just couldn't bear it and had to turn it off after a couple of minutes. Chaotic nonsense that I cannot bear to give the 4 episode rule. Bye, bye Quantico.

    For a show about highly trained, incredibly intelligent agents, Quantico’s pilot often succumbs to lame-brained plotting and a less-than-convincing portrayal of its specialized milieu.

    Prior to the ludicrous escape, the pilot had done an admirable job keeping up the pacing, the interest and certainly the excitement level. That alone should get you to watch the second episode.
