Watch: The first eight minutes of Quantico is out and it's pretty average

The first eight minutes of ABC’s latest offering Quantico is out and it’s clichéd as hell.

Created by Joshua Safran, Quantico traces the lives of a group of young FBI recruits, training at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
The lead is played by one of Bollywood’s finest Priyanka Chopra who essays the role of Alex Parrish.

The thriller is slated to go on air from the 27th of September, but the makers decided to go ahead and give us a sneak-peak by releasing the first eight minutes of the first episode, because a trailer’s just not enough.

The episode starts out with familarising us with Priyanka Chopra’s character lying face down amidst wreckage and it then cuts to the past where we are shown Piggy Chops lying to her mother like a true American daughter about going to the station, but instead heading out to the airport.

In the plane, Priyanka Chopra’s Alex Parrish flirts with a stranger, Ryan Booth with whom she hooks up with in a car, presumably a few minutes after the plane lands. Have to admit, girl’s got her priorities in place.

The stranger, like all other guys in the universe, gets a little too curious and asks Priyanka her name to which he is shown his place when she unwilling to reveal her identity uncovers everything about him, and more in just five points. This scene is easily the best and then only watchable scene in the eight minutes of ‘Have we not seen this in every crime thriller ever?’ also known as Quantico.

However, Chopra soon finds out that the elusive stranger turns out to be her new classmate in the training academy. Awkward alert.

We also get a brief introduction into the lives of the other recruits and we’re intrigued by what Nimah Anwar’s (played by Yasmin Al Marsi) backstory is.

All in all, the first eight minutes of Quantico reveals nothing that we haven’t seen before except Priyanka Chopra trying really hard to fit. Her accent does sounds believable, her acting not quite. And, she looks straight out of Dostana, for some reason.

The icing on the cake however, is the last scene which takes us back to a bruised Priyanka Chopra lying amidst the wreckage and turns out it’s a site of an explosion.

Totally did not guess that.
