If by hype you mean plenty of ads on Disney owned media then yes.

I'm liking it after the first episode. I like the whole premise for at least the first season that is clearly defined in the pilot. Can't wait for episode 2.

Saw the trailer liked it thought it was gonna be a show about Quantico. I don't like it also im not a big fan of flashbacks and what not and this show seems like there's gonna be alot of it. Hate to say it but im giving up on it.

Seemed OK. Nothing special. Seemed a lot more who cares than who did it.

Probably done already. If it turns out to be highly rated and renewed I might marathon it.

I felt like they pushed too many of those random secrets and connections between those characters in there too early.
There's no reward or payoff since we really don't know the characters.

There's nothing special about this that makes me wanna see more, it's all pretty blant.
I pass on this show.

watched first ep

so far it seems like how to get away with murder (or pick another Shonda Rhimes show) at the FBI

ABC marketing said "Grey's Anatomy Meets How To Get Away With Treason".

The tease earlier this year made it look like a soap opera, so I'd have to see a lot of positives to check it out.

Just posting so that people who watch can make note of good gifs that would make for her campaign for Ms OOT. Cause I could see myself voting for her the entire way.

For future reference to any TV FBI, Mormon guy has a dark secret = wierd **** went down on the mission 100% of the time.

i hate this story telling device. i'm out.

i just feel it's so lazy.. Flash forward scene, "especially after what happened between you two at quantico..." BUM BUM BUM.... o.m.g. something happened between two people, who knows what it could be, i can't wait to find out...

it's like the writers have no idea how (or are too lazy)to make things happen organically so they can only rely on the insinuation of something to set up a scene in one direction or another as a storytelling point.

i haven't seen bloodlines, but i hate the future event flashback type devices, even when in just one or two random episodes.

I don't mind Arrow type past reveal flashbacks, but just really get disinterested in even the 2nd scene being a "3 days earlie" type thing.

Maybe i'm just a What happens next guy, more so than a Why or How did it get to this point i already know guy..

On the wall after the explosion the FBI had the picture of the Mormon guy, who killed himself in the past. Don't know why they'd have that.

Ok had to watch this otherwise I'm just another asshat on the internet criticizing some show without seeing it.

I want that hour of my life back.

Damn that was all kinds of terrible. Ridiculous crap full of plot holes with horribly written characters that really make no sense.

Some of the scenes were absolutely cringeworthy.

Hated the female lead. It's like someone tried to write a strong female character and just failed miserably.

Uggh this show sucks.

Because the story of how he wasn't the terrorist and the guy he almost killed also obviously wasn't the terrorist is super important to nothing.

The first scene in that room should have been her taking down half the pics. Its not Mormon guy, or second gen future failure guy, it's not the hijab twins cos that's obviously the misdirect and when we get more stories next ep we should know at least two more to add on that list.

The show doesn't even get the basics of format correct, if they are doing a narrow narrative where we learn along via the eyes of the main chick then we shouldn't know stuff like the hijab twins or the fake boyfriend picture the gay guy took. Blacklist wasn't perfect but it nailed this formula perfectly. This show wants to have it both ways and to me that's not compelling viewing.

The more you analyse the show the more you see the writing is absolute garbage. Its just shoddily thrown together.

Haha, wow, I generally seem pretty in tune with OOTV wrt what shows are good and bad, but I seem to be in the minority here; I think that was a really, really well executed pilot. I like the show a lot. I'm only a little bit sad that it wasn't just a show about Quantico, but oh well.

It's gotten pretty good reviews, so I'm gonna lolOOTV though :P

I thought it was reasonably good.

Female lead is all kinds of hot.
