    When the series started, I was pleasantly surprised. I liked what I saw.Season 1 and 2 were actually really good. When the season 3 started, I became a bit confused, it seemed as though they were losing interest in writing something that was held together. Still worth seeing - you do want to know how it ends - but not as good as the first season.Now that all the seasons are done, I've seen them and the series is over, so I have to say: I do not regret seeing them. Would definitely do it again.I gave the series an 8 in grades but ... it's probably the first season wich get an 8. The second would probably have a 7 and the third will be down at 6.Overall I liked it and watched all episodes. That I dont do if i'm getting bored.

    So I had high hopes for this program. Unfortunately after the first few episodes things really take a turn for the worst. If the FBI is really like this and i was american id be terrified. Picture a group of people who seem to be completely dysfunctional, make terrible decisions and lie. If that wasn't bad enough the the script writing is terrible, big plot holes, poorly worked out scenarios all encompassed with some bad acting. Ive given two stars because some of the actors did a good job. otherwise it would be one. Don't waste your time

    Drooling over the female lead, I really wanted to like this, but even the stunning Ms. Chopra can't keep me wasting my time anymore. The problem with this show is that it's a dumb soap opera trying (and failing) to pass itself off as having depth and something to say. Season 3 is even worse about this than ever. Say what you want about the perfectly made-up hot actresses and high school romance plots, but when this show KNOWS it's a silly guilty pleasure romp, it's far better. When it gets above its station and takes itself too seriously with these ridiculous attempts at social commentary, unnatural cliche-ridden "inspirational quote" dialogue and hollow attempts at nuanced family drama, its cringeworthy tripe stops being fun and starts getting dull. Throw in predictable twists and desperate attempts at "edgy" shock value and you have an unoriginal, unwatchable mess. Having Marlee Matlin join the show could have been more interesting in the hands of more capable writers and that actress deserves much better material. Instead she is reduced to cheesy lines and has to "kick some ass" like every action heroine seems to have to in order to be interpreted as "strong". It's all so very forced.Quantico wants so transparently to be an "important" and "intense" show and thinks that bludgeoning viewers with heavy-handed obvious emotional ploys is the way to get there. It's basically Baywatch deciding it wants to try and be prestige television, and that goes exactly how well you would expect.

    I have probably seen worse acting, but I just can't remember where or when. And the plot, sub-plots, sub-sub-plots, etc., are absolutely ridiculous The Saturday morning cartoons from my youth made more sense! Oh, and the background noise that is called (*ahem*) music is terrible, and sometimes so loud you can't make out the dialogue of the actors. Although that may be intentional, come to think of it.Some reviewers have suggested that academy scenes are more like co-ed dorms, and the actors/actresses selected for their eye appeal instead of their acting ability. I can agree with that. And many of the reviewers that give it a rating of '1' are offended by how Indians/Hindus are portrayed. But given the political situation when the first season was filmed it was more politically correct than portraying them as Middle Eastern Islamics. The flashbacks of the academy days at Quantico was interesting. That, and only that, was the only part of the show that made any sense. It took about three episodes to get used to the flashbacks, but they did hold my interest. If that's the way the academy really operates or if it is just more Hollywood conjecture I don't know.The action scenes can be entertaining, if you don't let the bad acting and ridiculous plots/sub plots get to you.
