We also get snapshots of the other trainees: southerner Shelby Wyatt (Johanna Braddy) Nimah Anwar (Yasmine Al Masri), the obligatory Muslim character whom we’re supposed to suspect former Olympian Eric Packer (Brian J.

This would have been a reasonable enough excuse for launching the parallel timeline structure that Quantico seems set to follow, except this has already been set in motion: after the opening scene at the blast site, we’ve gone back in time to see Alex meet ex-military man Ryan Booth (Jake McLaughlin) on a plane, have sex with him in a car upon landing, explain in a glib sort of way why he’s not “her type', and leave, only to lay eyes on him a couple of hours later at the FBI training base in Quantico, Washington DC. She’s actually a suspect.īefore it’s revealed that she’s the one they’re investigating, the interrogators tell Alex that they suspect someone from her FBI training batch is behind the attack. She’s taken in for questioning, ostensibly because she’s the closest survivor to the blast site. It turns out she’s an agent as well, name of Alex Parrish. As she looks around and registers a blast site, she’s suddenly surrounded by yelling FBI agents. The episode opens with Chopra lying on the ground with rubble everywhere and sirens blaring. But a show which does that every week is opening itself up to ridicule. A new show can afford to pack the pilot with logic-defying twists to reel in viewers. That said, showrunner Joshua Safran (a former writer and executive producer on Gossip Girl) might have to tamp down on the inanity in coming episodes. It’s messy, deeply unbelievable and, often, very silly-but it has pace and some synthetic style. The first episode premiered in the US yesterday.

Then the first eight minutes were released, and more people admitted it didn’t look terrible.

In time, the trailer appeared, and everyone admitted that at least Chopra’s American accent wasn’t grating. Chopra has had an on-off relationship with the media and the public here, and no one was willing to stick their neck out for someone whose last international collaboration was a godawful duet with Pitbull.

When it was announced that Priyanka Chopra was going to star in an American TV series called Quantico, the reaction at home wasn’t especially enthusiastic.
