    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.

    The best new drama of the season by a long shot. Hits all the right buttons with strong character development, action and intrigue. Sure the story has some elements of implausibility but this is fictional television at it best. Quantico is far better on every level than the wretched Blindspot on NBC which is sets a new benchmark for overwrought drama.

    The first episode was the best pilot in a very long time. The star of the show, Priyanka Chopra, is brilliant in the role. Supported by an incredible cast, she rocks the screen every time she appears on screen. I really loved this show.

    Priyanka Chopra plays the leader, Alex Parish.
    This show has the perfect spin on drama and romance.
    There were many twists in the just the first episode. The
    plot is very interesting, there i no other show out there like Quantico.
    I look forward to watching the rest of this show.

    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.

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

    I like the basic idea of "Quantico," and we all know ABC does mystery soaps well. That being said, the pilot wasn't great. It was OK, but not overly compelling. That could be a problem going forward. There's some potential here, but I remain a bit cautious.

    The role played by JOSH HOPKINS is such a farce! He is as much a dimwit in this role as he was in COUGAR TOWN (a role in which he played a much better dimwit!). 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

    "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.

    "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
