What bothers you the most about this show?

The fact when natalie got blown up, then she wasn't in the flashbacks at quantico no more at all, no mention of promoted early just erased. from that episode it just got slopper and slopper to the point i didnt watch invested anymore. so many plot holes its a joke. reminds me of heroes for the holes.

Everybody seems to be banging each other like some sort of Melrose Place drama. Not enough on suspense on terrorism/FBI plots.
The over uses of flashbacks are the most annoying. It's hard to follow the present storyline when every few mins, it has to show what happened in training years.

Overall, this show really stinks. I can't believe it was ranked this high. I doubt I will be watching season 2.

The acting I would say. And the script. And the way they film it. The casting sucks aswell. Its sucks pretty much in every way but in that order.

Just Alex/the actress who plays her. I can gloss over everything else, but she really gets on my nerves.

so bollocks is bad, but dogs bollocks is good?

Oh boy... Where do I even begin with this?


1) The cast of this show both male and female could all easily get a role on Baywatch. Too bad they have worst acting skills.

2) The entire FBI training made no sense what so ever. Not only did it have nothing to do with the skills they used on the show, nor did any of the classes make any sense (you need to expose another student's secret? What if he doesn't have any?) but also most of the classes taught the exact opposite of what they should have.

Half of the classes were basically teaching them to be corrupt cops. For example, they are being taught that covering up for the failures of your partner is more important than upholding the law (Remember why Simon almost got kicked out?).

Another lesson had them failing every single student who had the brains to run away from a bomb (possibly warning other nearby people and saving their lives) while giving a passing grade to idiots who stayed near it because...? Seriously what are they being rewarded from? They even gave up on trying to defuse the bomb. They are being rewarded for committing suicide for no reason. All the people who were in should have been kicked out, not the other way around.

3) The flashback structure. I didn't have a problem tracing the back and forth thing, but it became really tiring and the whole thing has been done to the death. Lost didn't invent it and it was used before, but after Lost we got Once Upon a Time, Revolution, Arrow, Alcatraz, Orange is the New Black and so many other shows that the format is super tiresome already.

Not to mention the fact that they make no sense how they perfectly match the present and the flashback. Alex and Ryan love each other in the past and present and in the next episode they hate each other at both. Makes no sense.

4) The horrible dialogue and what's even worse is the unbelievable technobabble they try to toss in. A computer that sets itself on fire if you run too many programs?!?

5) The fact that the FBI people on this show make the guys in The Following look like competent masterminds. How the heck is Alex better than everyone at the FBI? They have more experience, more resources and are presumably who trained her yet she manages to run from the law for so long (without even bothering to change her appearance for crying out loud) then manages to sneak past them every 5 minutes. So dumb.

6) And of course, the fact that the entire mystery sucked big time.
Based on comments here and in other places, most people were betting on Liam or Miranda solely because they are teachers and are the "expect the unexpected" thing.

If you're telling me the show really planned who it's going to be, I'm going to laugh in your face. Heck, at an interview, the creators said all actors were thought they were the mastermind. Just goes to show you that there was never any smoking gun. This show had not even attempted to learn from Knox.

In other words, there was never any point to even try and figure it out nor would it be possible to and that is what ruins any show based on a mystery.

As the show goes on, Ryan gets more and more ugly.

I'm changing my answer. What bothers me most is that they still list the show as being a drama. I wish they would acknowledge that it's a sitcom.

Agree with you. I've seen only 3 episodes and will not continue watching. I think it insults the FBI. Did they have a consultant on board? This is like a daytime soap. The sex scene in the car in the 1st episode was absurd. Doggie-style with no protection and no clean-up afterwards? That told me how bad this series was going to be.
