This show is kind of a cross between "Rookie Blue" (following a set a new recruits) and "How to Get Away With Murder" (trying to figure out who committed a crime through flashbacks).
The one thing that makes this show even remotely interesting, is the main plot of who was behind it. Everything else about this show is absurd, more reminiscent of a high school drama than an FBI action. The bad acting and horrible characters, the way an FBI training camp and the methods used are portrayed, the cheap writing and the boring action sequences puts this on my "if nothing else to watch" list, only because I want to know who actually did it.
Pretty interesting at first. But I am kind of sick of it. 3 seasons, in my opinion, are more than enough.
Officially cancelled by ABC, final season will fully air.
Why is this still on?
Gave up with this series. Story was completely absurd.
i don't even know how to define this: horrible? terrifying? i waited till episode four before saying anything but there's nothing good here; super bad actors, awful plot: looks like they had in mind a pop version of Homeland but this... THING has just no consistency and no integrity at all! maybe i'll keep watching this just to see where this is going and how much crap they're still going to pull but i don't see how i can change my opinion.
This show isn’t for everyone. The dialogue is corny. But if you can get over that (and I did) I think the plot was good. I always love shows where the characters have to go through a series of tests and this had a lot of it. I like that they reveal the end of the season slowly through out. It made me have a lot of anticipation for how and why the ending happened.
bad actors, crossing over to training and real time makes it so boring. it looks like an amateur show.
Maybe I should just stop watching current/running shows because this is another one I droped like a hot potato. It did not impress me one iota. Good idea, bad excecution - more teenage drama then FBI show. The chioce of music only underlines that.
I hate flashback in episodes so having a whole show like that really throws me off.
You have an unlikeable lead and why is her neckline always that inch lower then anyone elses ? Half the trainees seem to be planted and of course everyone has a secret, personal or else, no one knows off. It's just to much. You need to throw in normal people to make the rest believable.
I fear this is going to be her running around, investigating (?), all the time explaining to everyone "I didn't do it" and screaming "I'm innocent". Of course no one believes her until in the final episode all pieces fall conviently into place and she is redeemed. In the meantime the writers throw in some "clues" that are none.
Other reasons I dropped out: the only one I might have like killed himself in Ep. 1 and they are already givens hints that make me just groan like "Who are you chasing, the trainee you fell in love with or the terrorist that rejected you?"
I will save a rating because it would not be fair after only two episodes.
Terrible acting, unrealistic characters and scenarios. Who can seriously picture any of those trainees at a FBI academy. The characters have so much emotional baggage that you wonder how they could be recruited at all.
Just started watching Season 2 and it's the same shit jumping back & forth every few minutes. I can't keep up with the storyline when it gets broken so frequently. I do want to like this and continue watching, but I can't cope with this anymore. It was painful finishing Season 1. The near constant flash backs and forth seem to have no correlation.
Season 2 should have been three seasons. One during their CIA recruitment and training, the next during the G20 saga, and the third post-G20.
Bad storyline & direction. The constant jumping back & forth in time seems like they lost the plot and can't arrange their timeline properly.. like a badly written book.
Season 1 should really have been two seasons, one before and another after the Grand Central incident. A continuous timeline is so much more conducive to getting immersed into the story. A broken timeline, jumping around here and there, throws you out of the story.
I quite enjoyed season one but then it just got worse. Season 3 was just boring.
Maybe the worst series i have ever watched.
Lost interest pretty early on. Had saved all episodes to my DVR, but recently deleted them all.
May try to watch again later on.
Keep them on missions and not cross over so many times and this show will work! Great actors and actresses but it goes in too many directions. I want this show to last so I thought I needed to make this comment!
Would've been a great TV SHOW if they had got a better lead actress, instead of a BollyWood reject ;)
Im really dissapointed that such a nice story is wasted by its own writing..Evry episode has the same pattern:we think that someone is corrupted or someone is behind everything and in the last 10 minutes its revealed that he is innocent..every damn episode the same thing..for some reason everyone believes everything that someone says without any doubts at all,i mean is it possible that every man tells the truth? That makes the mystery to seem so fake..Anyway awesome storytelling!!
Quantico jumps around toooooo much. 1st episode was good, but all of the rest have too many flashbacks. We find we prefer stories that develop, not recall the past.
It's mostly some high school drama but with FBI agents. It's a decent enough time-waster.
Apart from Priyanka Chopra's fake accent along with overwhelming performance and poor direction of certain episodes, this is worth watching. Mainly because of it's characters.
Anyone else considering ditching this? Feels like the plot is really dragging :/
First episode wasn't as good as I wanted it to be... but I'll stick with it for now.
Nice to see male torsos in their natural state instead of waxed and shaved like preteens
Engaging and smart. I can't wait for more!
Very good first episode! Very intriguing and different, a must watch!
I loved all of it... I really wanted to see more of Alex's story and if she raises the kid.. I didn't expect Ryan to marry Shelby. I Really wished they'd made more seasons because I wanted to see more of Alex and the gang! If you are a fan of mystery, investigation, workplace dramas, high-stakes situations, and smart, rather well-written characters, I HIGHLY suggest you check this show out!
s01 was ok, but the series became worse every episode.
I would not recommend it.
I don’t understand why they are constantly cutting between time in Quantico (training) and what seem to be time when they are done with training and working for the FBI.
Good story by bad actors
I'd say 7/10 for the first two seasons and recommend to skip season 3 altogether..
The first episodes were good, but it got worse every episode, also the actors aren't that good...
It was a series with potential, but they did not make it true
season 1 was good, tho i was disappointed to see who the terrorist was. but all in all, season 1 was good. season 2 is okaaaaay but like...... not much. i don't like that it's like a completely different show now.
love it, this series just make you think a lot

AFTER SEASON 1: 6 STARS - Enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. Lots of twists and you really have to sit, watch and listen otherwise you will get lost. Definitely love the way they set the whole thing up, at least give this one a try.
AFTER S02E04: 5 STARS - Somehow the second season really can't get my attention. Every time an episode gets out the first reaction is 'Do I have to watch this?'. For me, the story was over after season 1.
WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US? Can't wait for next week's season's finale!
One of the best shows!
fucking hell did natalie die
Strong plot with interesting characters!!
Absolutely LOVE this show! one of my favorites on TV. I love the suspense & that it is not so predictable that u always know what to expect, so many shows r the same story just being retold w/knew characters or they r such weak predictable plot lines their is no suspense - this is not like that, it makes u think, & leaves u surprised at things u didn't see coming & that is refreshing in this era of remakes & reruns of the same old story again & again. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! AND FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY & GOOD TV KEEP IT ON THE AIR FOR SEVERAL MORE SEASONS PLEASE! EVEN WHEN THEY FIND THE MOLE - GIVE THEM MORE CASES TO SOLVE! NEW RECRUITS! Regardless of new stories or characters U MUST KEEP Alex Parrish & Ryan Booth FRONT & CENTER CAST I love those two characters!
Binge watched, now I can't wait for the next half of the season! Would definitely recommend giving this show a chance.
first episode was quiet boring however it keeps getting better with each new episode
This show is intense! So many plot and character twists already!

Very much like Rookie Blue, but with less humor. The premise is actually really interesting so I will keep watching.
I really love it. Can't wait for more
