ABC Network released the first eight minutes of its much-anticipated FBI drama “Quantico,” starring Priyanka Chopra as FBI agent Alex Parrish, this week. Priyanka Chopra, the ‘Mary Kom’ star is shooting for the ABC Network show ‘Quantico’ in New York City. For Priyanka, the Quantico pilot is her first assignment in the US after she spent the past few years trying to foray into the American showbiz industry. Earlier, she had cut three singles – In My City, Exotic and I Can’t Make You Love Me – for the international music market, but none of them managed to set the global charts on fire. She now hopes Quantico is a success, and her role is noticed, if her international ambition is to get a push.

Quantico revolves around a bunch of young FBI recruits, each one of whom has a secret behind joining the bureau. The show will narrate their adventures and experiences as they train on Quantico base in Virginia, even as secrets of their past start emerging. One of the trainees will subsequently even turn out to be a sleeper terrorist who played a role in 9/11.

The show opens with Priyanka lying at the site of a terrorist attack in New York City (note how the first shot of the show is of Priyanka’s ‘Om’ bracelet) and goes back to the time when each of the agents – played by Priyanka, Johanna Braddy, Jake Mc Laughlin, Yasmine Al Massri, Tate Ellington and Brian J Smith – are on their way to FBI training base in Quantico.

Priyanka is effortlessly good from the word go. Apart from the fact that she looks hot from the very first shot, she pulls you in with her nuanced acting. Yes, we can say that just from watching the first eight minutes!
