A diverse group of recruits have arrived at the FBI Quantico Base for training. They are the best, the brightest and the most vetted, so it seems impossible that one of them is suspected of masterminding the biggest attack on New York City since 9/11.

Having finished the first season, I have to say the writing is horrible. You really don't need any more proof that the fact that they acted like 'Kobayashi Maru' is an actual FBI approved training exercise throughout one episode... That was funny and sad.
It doesn't help that it was painfully clear that the writers hadn't written the entire season's scripts out before starting, there were connectivity issues that were just too glaring to be ignored and plot lines left hanging. Already after the first half of the season the main plot line was old and honestly the only fun things came from the "academy days" timeline, if not counting the unnecessary relationship drama and extremely childish and moody behaviors of.. nearly the entire cast. The worst offenders being:
The main character, Alex, is a Mary Sue. SHOW SPOILER She didn't have any experience, but she still became the most promising agent recruit. She had intuition, she was intelligent, and blah blah. She was always the one to figure out the right ways to do things, no matter if it was trying to figure out a suspect or figuring out a bomb, it was always her who shined. It was absolutely exhausting. And since in the terrorist time line she was the only one apparently smart enough to figure out the terrorist needed to be stopped, I just couldn't even stand the sight of her.
Shelby was coddled baby. SHOW SPOILER This character could not do anything on her own. It was always either the MC, her boyfriend, her roommate, or someone else who put things in motion for her and she just naively went along, suffering from horrid opinion swings. It's a miracle her neck didn't break from all that whiplash she kept doing!
Okay, pretty much every other character kept doing 180s with their opinions too - now they trust person X, but wait one thing is weird so they are suspicious again, but no no now they believe everything again!
This show has been boring me to tears. It started out so good, but now I zone out the entire episode and have no idea what's even going on anymore. Gonna have to call it quits.
@quackcubed Yes man, my balls are breaked, I use Tv Maze now.
No episode data seems to be coming in for this show.
This should've been on the CW instead of ABC... at least then I'd know in advance the (main) actors got cast 90% based on looks and 10% on acting talent.
