    Another solid episode. This season is off to a great start. I can't wait for when Claire joins them for real and not just over Skype/FaceTime. The entire ensemble is superb.

    Not having to turn one's brain off =/= expecting complete realism.
    There are plenty of shows that make sense and challenge you without being news-like or exactly like reality. In fact, most great television shows are like this. Quantico is one of those shows where the writing is lackluster, there are too many (often

    Perhaps those scenes will finally actually happen then! We'll see.

    So far its season order is 19 episodes I think.

    They have showed sex scenes in almost all the episode previews this season, yet those scenes are never actually in the episode, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    I quite enjoy this show when I'm watching it, but I also agree with most of the criticism. Generally I'm not a fan of the whole "turn your brain off" thing, but there's no other way to watch Quantico. I look at my phone whenever cringeworthy dialogue takes place. Overall I can't see this show sustaining its iota of

    Whoever chose "I'll Be Fine" for the intro should be showered in praise because nothing makes me happier than dancing along to those opening credits every damn episode.

    The only other show on Please Like Me's level when it comes to depicting mental illness is My Mad Fat Diary. It's very refreshing to see shows get it right.

    I liked this episode, but man was it filled with groan-inducing lines. Many of them seemed to stem from underestimating the audience. There was a bunch of hand-holding where characters spelled things out for you in a way that actual human beings never would do in real life. Especially some of the interactions in the

    Everyone keeps eating out of Ryan Murphy's hand, despite how he arguably hasn't made anything worthwhile since very early Glee, before it—as all his shows—went off the rails, weighed down by amateurish writing with little to no concern for continuity; and perhaps also American Horror Story: Asylum had its moments. But

    "Gaga's songs are better"

    This is one of the best pilots I have ever seen and an obvious A.
    It does everything that a pilot should do and more. It's so sure of itself and nails the tone from the very first scene. It's miles better than a B. The grading becomes more absurd when the clearly inferior Wayward Pines pilot was given a B+ by this

    Nah, he's articulate. And eloquence is sadly often confused for arrogance, especially among people with certain inferiority complexes. He barely, if at all, spoke of himself, so how he seemed self-absorbed to you is baffling to me.

    Have you ever heard of anxiety? A panic attack? Those certainly involve heavy breathing, just as Stiles exemplified in the opening portion of this episode.

    Hoechlin hasn't been compelling in years to me. His "arc" last season was the worst part of a generally lackluster season. I think the show will be just fine without him. Scott and Stiles were always the heart of the show. And I already like Kira more than I ever liked Allison. The problem for me is mostly Jeff Davis'

    Pearl and Violet are perfection. Ginger's only purpose is to highlight that fact.

    Katya was simply too good to go.
    Miss Congeniality should be a lock for her at least.

    It's dark, but too polished to truly be gritty.

    That's not true. Diane is courting a new massive client, whom we first met in the Red Meat episode. To prove herself to him, she accepts his offer to take part in this little event, hopefully to the benefit of the firm. They lost Chumhum. That's huge. It made perfect sense to me. And it was an interesting, albeit very

    Both. Queer is the umbrella term. Before it became clear on the show that she was bisexual, queer was the most appropriate, since it avoided labeling her as this or that. But eventually I think it was confirmed that she is bisexual, and so that description became accurate. But queer is still perfectly applicable, too.
