ABC‘s newest drama series Will Trent revolves around a controversial Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent who isn’t too popular among other law enforcement officers. But the detective that Will Trent clashes with the most is Michael Ormewood, played by Jake McLaughlin.

The Will Trent series premiere makes it clear that the audience isn’t supposed to like Jake McLaughlin’s Ormewood when they first meet him. He is brash, stubborn, ignorant, and abrasive. Ormewood takes advantage of his power as a detective with the Atlanta Police Department and regularly threatens and intimidates suspects and witnesses.
During the pilot, Ormewood doesn’t hold his hatred for Will back. As fans came to find out, Will previously worked on a case that outed numerous crooked cops, and many other officers dislike him for “betraying their own.

The Show | The Handmaid’s Tale
The Episode | “A Woman’s Place“ (May 17)
The Performance | Moss has been so consistently amazing in Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, we were starting to fear that it would be tough to single out a particular scene or episode that would highlight her greatness. (Because she was clearly, at some point, going to wind up our Performer of the Week.)
However, Wednesday’s episode made that worry evaporate. When Offred was presented with a second chance to alert a visiting dignitary about the reality of being a handmaid in Gilead,...

This episode of Quantico season 2 is definitely a highly anticipated one, as previous episodes left fans on the edge of their seats. "Epicshelter" begins with Harry's revelation that he had no idea about Sebastian's wife's motives as Ryan Booth is summoned.
As for the others, they're not sure if they want to fully trust Lydia, whose return almost seems to come out of nowhere.

It's almost time to dive back into the world of espionage, but before we dive into what's to come, let's recap where we left off.
Alex was kicked off the Aic taskforce, and in the present, we learned that Ryan and Riana were terrorists and that Diana, Leon, and Ryan were tapped by the Aic. Yeah, there were quite a few reveals.
As for what's to come, it looks like the hunt for Aic answers is still going strong. Alex isn't backing off just because Miranda cut her loose. Check out the photos from Quantico Season 2 Episode 9 and share your theories on what our favorite spies in training are up to.

Quantico is one of those efforts that may suffer from its various connections to other shows – read: writers/producers whose previous work doesn’t necessarily see the value in avoiding melodrama at any point at all.
The premise is an interesting one, and there’s nothing wrong with the highs and lows of throwing young-ish people into close quarters with each other, and you have to love feints-within-feints, but much of Quantico is constructed with a, “Well, if some is good…” theory in mind.
Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra) is one of a group of recruits hoping to become FBI agents, and her own version of not being absolutely honest about why she’s there might have been enough, but before long Alex has been framed for a terrorist attack, and she’s got to figure out how to get out from under a thoroughly-planned setup… unless she did it. So spins the show…...

With Quantico Season 2 all set to air on Star World and Star World HD every Monday, 9 Pm from 26th September 2016 onwards, the intrigue around Alex Parrish played by Priyanka Chopra and her new journey at the CIA is raising excitement levels!
While we will have to wait for another whole week to see what new world saving assignments Alex gets up to, here’s what Priyanka’s costars have to say about the talented and sexy Pee Cee and the show!
“Priyanka, when she auditioned, she walked in the door and it was like okay, who is this person. This is clearly a movie star, like every hair at the back of your neck stands up. When I went home, I couldn’t think of anyone else – it wasn’t even that I was just thinking about Priyanka has to play this, she had re-envisioned the character in front of my eyes” says Joshua Safran,...

As Quantico Season 2 gets closer to its airing date, the new trailer for the series might just have let slip a number of key plot twisters from the all new season!
The latest trailer of Quantico Season 2 is intense and appears to be loaded with conspiracies and espionage that will make you catch your breath! As is known, Alex joins the CIA where she will be integrated into the new and rather harsher manner of training that is synonymous with the CIA. The new trailer shows Alex, played by Priyanka Chopra, being a total badass as she is seen possibly jumping out of a plane and kicking the steam out of presumably the bad guy – and boy can that girl kick some ass, all in style! From a hostage situation to trying to save the President and the First Lady – Alex’s plate seems to be full with more action,...

So, who did it? During the past seven weeks, Quantico's present-day story line has methodically worked its way through a core cast of FBI trainees, giving us reasons to suspect each of them for a terrorist attack that decimated New York's Grand Central Station. A lot of these suspicions have been red herrings, rich with the sort of soapy complications and entanglements that Quantico loves — like Shelby's affair with Caleb's father, Agent Clayton.Now we're more or less out of people to suspect. Each week, an important member of the Quantico class has moved from possible suspect to secret member of Team Alex — a team that has now been mostly apprehended, except Alex herself and a badly wounded Ryan Booth. Thanks to the big hullabaloo from last week's episode, the Feds have Alex and Ryan cornered within a six-block radius. Instead of fleeing, our favorite fugitives break into a...

After tons of buzz and media attention, the wait for ABC’s new thriller Quantico finally ended on Sunday night. With our very own Priyanka Chopra as the lead of this series, we at Bollyspice were beyond eager to finally check out Miss World in action as a feisty FBI recruit. And we were not disappointed.
Described as a cross between Homeland and Grey’s Anatomy, Quantico follows Alex Parrish (Priyanka) and a group of young FBI recruits as they endure a training camp in Quantico, Virginia. Fast forward nine months, and the U.S. suffers the biggest terrorist attack since 9/11. The kicker? Alex is the main suspect – and has clearly been framed.
It’s pretty impressive how much Quantico was able to squeeze into just one episode. We got plenty of scandal, romance, violence, mystery and plot twists in the action-packed pilot. Naturally, there was so much happening that...

To clarify, this article and the ones similar to it are not reviews of this fall/midseason’s pilots (because pilots can change a lot between now and when they broadcast). These are just my first impressions of the not-for-air network pilots that I have been able to screen. I last wrote about Fox’s The Grinder. Next up: ABC’s Quantico, which premieres on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 10 p.m. The Premise: A diverse group of recruits has 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. The Cast: Priyanka Chopra (Mary Kom) as Alex Parrish, Jake McLaughlin (Believe) as Ryan Booth, Aunjanue Ellis (The Book of Negores) as Miranda Shaw, Yasmine Al Massri (Crossbones) as Nimah Anwar, Johanna Braddy (UnREAL) as Shelby Wyatt,...
