Quantico’s problem is that it was too much about the romantic relationships between characters and not enough about the fact that a bomb just blew up a building in New York and not enough about the characters learning to be FBI. In Grey’s the show’s first focus is about the characters learning and becoming doctors. In Scandal the focus is very much the politics and the white hats fixing whatever problem they have been hired on to fix. Sure, both of those shows focus on the relationships as well, the characters sleep around and it is a soap opera like that, but that isn’t the entire focus of the show. It isn’t even the biggest focus of those shows, in my opinion.
Quantico focused way too much on the soap opera part instead of letting us like the characters first and then showing all their relationships. Also, the flash back, flash forwards, i don’t even remember which one was the present day, but that did not work. They would show more in the flashback and nothing would happen in the flashforward/present day. I don’t remember anything happening that was interesting in those scenes. Obviously, i gave up the show, so maybe it got better, but if a show is about a bomb blowing up part of New York then that needs to be the focus.
