HO HO HO! I've struck a goldmine! The PERFECT show to whine and bitch about without any remorse! Its none other than Bollywood's most wannabe Hollywood actress- whom I despise-'s Hollywood debut series Quantico. The show looks quite flashy and sleek at first, but as it delved deeper, the pool of character density and logic got shallower.
WARNING: MAJOR biching ahead**
WARNING: MAJOR biching ahead**
Priyanka Chopra is Alex Parishh who's seen sneaking away from home to join the FBI. She gets it on with a fellow passenger as they lie to each other about who they are and the next thing you know they're getting freaky in the car after landing. The guy asks her for her number and Alex rejects stating that he's not her type. Then she goes all sherlock holmes and points out how she noticed all these little clues about him like he was married once, he probably grew up with sisters cuz he doesnt know how to shave cuz she detected with her lazer vision that the guy's beards are pointed in wrong directions(....???) and leaves like the coolest girl on earth.First of all..ALEX??? Do they really want me to believe an indian girl's name is Alex? It looks like a pathetic attempt to paint her as a cool girl, which she SO aint! And her little flirtation on the plane with 'handsome' stranger is so over the top. She just sticks out her hand holding a cup and the guy is immediately seduced? And she's not just a modern femme fatale but also an expert at noticing people's beards right after she bangs them! Talk about superpowers! Priyanka Chopra might think she's nailing this debut with risque shots but its another pathetic attempt! They show her legs with her P rolled down then she appears to be pulling her pants but they dont show below her chest area. HAH! If she was half as bold as she pretends to be she would've shown it all or more. Or atleast take your top off! Bitch aint got the double Ds to show!
Alex arrives at the FBI training center and guess who she runs into? The guy she just banged! We all saw it coming though. Oh I forgot, the show actually started with present day where Alex survives a terrorist attack. Then they cut to 5 months earlier flashback of her joining the FBI and blah blah. So the present and past day scenes frequently cut to each other before you can grasp any of it. In present day Alex is found by the FBI and taken into interrogation. Cut back to 5 months earlier they introduce a bunch of characters, a white girl, a mormon guy, a gay guy, a muslim girl, a latina girl, a black woman in charge who slept with the white man in charge-every possible combination of religion & ethnicity they could think of they just tossed in together. One or two characters seemed interesting as they showed all of them training or whatever. And ofcourse Alex is the brightest and wisest of all! Even fastest of all! Everytime they show them running Alex is at the front, the show shoving Priyanka down our throats as the lead was cringe worthy! Back in the present day for some insane reason the FBI starts to believe that Alex is the terrorist. GASP! So they arrest her and shove inside a van. And the van driver turns out to be the black woman in charge who slept with the white guy in charge! Btw, the white guy is charge is trying to frame Alex for this terrorist attack..or it appears so. Anyway, so the black woman in charge who slept with the white man in charge risked her life and entire career to double cross FBI and save this Indian chick becuz she believes only Alex can save US from terrorism! So she sets Alex free and tells her to solve the mystery. Sure lady! Rest of the time on the show we see Alex running around from place to place trying to out smart FBI who r tailing her, and her wearing FBI jacket & cap just shows how smart she is. In the flashbacks a lot of things happen that I dont have the patience to write about :v

Salty Observations:
*They have Rick Cosnett aka Eddi Thawne in Flash here! :D And his character's gay! YAAAY I'd rather see him gay than fall prey to priyanka's despo claws.
*The constant shift between past and present doesnt work for this show. It feels haphazard-ed, like ameteur Youtuber make jump cuts every 2 seconds. If they dwelled on some of the scenes longer, I could've enjoyed some of the characters :/
*Although she looked like a wannabe chhemri to me most of the time, I'm not a blind hater. She did have two scenes where she looked pretty, one of them being that small photo beside.
*Ive never really seen her acting before except in Fashion, but OMG SHE SUCKKSSS CAMEL BALLS!! No seriously! The whole time I was thinking-How the hell did they cast her with her terrible dialogue delivery?? Her expressions are so unnatural,and her voice and intonations are so cringe worthy to hear omg! I mean in bollywood movies it could still work, but here..in the real world?? *shudders* when she was crying and telling everyone she's innocent it was quite painful..not bcoz I sympathized with her, but bcoz she sounded like a dying cat!
*AND dont even get me started on that accent! REALLY??? An indian girl named Alex who doesnt even have the us accent and we're supposed to believe shes the US Hero? -_____- Completely illogical! I dont hate indians or anything infact one of favourite comedy shows have indian actors (Aziz Anwar, Mindy Kailing both HILARIOUS & they r believably us born/raised indians=americans)
I've only watched 2 episodes :D Cant wait to watch more and hate on it more! Hahaha I hope the ratings go down and they flop! :D :D
(This is probably the most hateful I've been on this blog or in life in a looong time)
