Chiming in with my two cents about Quantico. Although I agree with Dil Bert and MrB about the suspension of disbelief, all these people having deep, dark secrets, acting like they were fifteen and, I wll add, characters who are supposed to be clever constantly doing really stupid things, I enjoyed Quantico in the beginning; at the end of each episode I'd be dying to see what happens next; that is until the Christmas break, after that, things changed.
If I'm not mistaken, the series was to run for twelve episodes and then the season got extended to twenty two and then they got a second season. It felt like after the season was extended to twenty two episodes that the writers didn't know what to write - they threw out whatever guideline they had as to how the season was to develop and just threw suspicion left right and centre - regardless of whether that made sense or not, they also introduced new characters and dropped various plot points (for example, the way that the first part was developing, it was obvious that they were going to reveal that Liam had had an affair with Alex's mother and he might even be her father and after the Christmas break, the writers had Alex and Liam sleeping together.) The throing suspicion on everyone got tiring after a while. I lasted until the end 'cause I wanted to see what happens but I don't think I'll be watching season two.
I glanced at a couple of episodes, a couple of times.
I also read the Wikipedia article, with plot summaries.
An FBI full of nepotism, full of corruption, not a story the actual FBI would
want anything to do with - no wonder that they filmed it in Canada!
I read that season two is going to be filmed in New York.
