There are few shows for this fall that have been marketed and hyped as much as ABC’s ‘Quantico’.  It premiered last night so I had to check it out.  I was extra-keen to watch because I like the star Priyanka Chopra from her bollywood fame and I’m also a big fan of FBI and crime shows.

I thought Priyanka did a good job so far.  She provides the eye-candy and she did a respectable job with the American accent too.  Though not perfect, it was much better than that of Sakina Jaffrey in House of Cards.   The show itself has a number of characters who were barely introduced so there is potential for more interesting characters.  I wasn’t so compelled by the romantic interest thus far, played by Jake McLaughlin.

As for the show itself, the story line seems interesting.  An act of terrorism and a mystery of who is behind it.  There was a lot of flipping from present day to the past in telling the story that reminded me a lot of ‘How to Get Away with Murder’.  I didn’t think Quantico did as good of a job with the transitions as HTGAWM but it was only one episode.  I guess ABC thought that formula did well so why not try again.  It was interesting enough for me to watch a few more episodes and then I will decide whether it’s a keeper or not.  I suggest you do the same.
