Quantico
 

New series started last night. My husband and I thought we would give it a try since it was FBI type. By the end of the show, we had No clue what was going on?? Did anyone watch and what did you think? We also weren't too happy 10 minutes in we have to see 2 guys kissing then we find out he's a gay jew befriending an Arab woman. Come on Hollywood this is getting over the top. We are frankly sick of the agenda of making all this appear "normal" so its a no thanks for us. Also it moved at such a fast pace, its confusing. Why must they do that? It's not appealing but frustrating when they start a show off like that

Glad I am not alone in getting lost with some of these new shows.. tried The Player with Wesley Snipes.. never did figure it out... ( I am not ashamed to admit it)- even tried a new sitcom.. Life as we know it.. I thought it was funny but a bit inappropriate for an 8:30 show.

Glad I'm not alone too. My head was spinning. Will you watch again??

Quantico Series Disappointing
 

I was also disappointed with the new ABC series Quantico. After 45 minutes, I turned it off. I have visited Quantico, both the Marine Corps base and the FBI Training facility, and last night's depiction of FBI new agent training was so rediculous that I lost interest. The major networks don't seem able to compete wth HBO or Netflix series any more.

It takes more than an hour to build the storyline and characters. We decided to give each new show a three episode test. That being said, I'm not wild about any of the shows after week one.

Yeah, but it often takes less than an hour for me to know I don't like it.

Me too. I quit in the middle of Blood and Oil.

I was so disappointed in that show Sherlock. Or was it Holmes. Or was it Watson. Anyway, we were expecting a good ole Whodunnit series, and it was all this weird stuff. We Knew right away we wouldn't like it, but gave it a couple of tries anyway.

I agree, agree. agree. Weird stuff.


I wish there would be some new episodes of Father Brown.


NO, to any who thinks it is religious ...it is a murder mystery and written by GK Chesterton. Love the costumes and backgrounds and plots. And like the characters too.

Hollywood and TV's agenda has always been about pushing the envelope. My envelope has already been pushed too far and I refuse to watch any of that stuff as my own personal protest.

Elementary....
 

love it...spot on with the depiction of Holmes as an OCD type...I think you have to have gotten past Basil Rathbone as Holmes...love the PBS series Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and the movies with Robert Downey Jr....all done marvelously with a slightly different take...

So happy we are not alone on Quantico. Whoa, it's supposed to be entertainment not torture. Gonna give it one more week.

No interest in Quantico or Blood and Oil. Think I will go back on Acorn and rewatch the Midsummer Murders or Foyles War. Quality shows witha nice twist of humor mixed in.

Quantico was unrealistic and Blood and Oil went off after 20 min.
