‘Quantico’ premiered this past Sunday to a 1.9 rating in the A1849. It’s an impressive rating because of what was surrounding it on the night. First off, the new ABC premiere ‘Blood and Oil’ was on in the 9:00 spot and only had a 1.4, which is not a strong lead-in for the subsequent premiere. Second, 60 minutes also debuted on CBS with a strong 2.9 due to interviews on the show with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. NBC had Sunday Night Football, which did a 13.8.

According to Variety(http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/ratings-quantico-solid-blood-oil-modest-premieres-1201603775/), ‘Quantico’ has received the best reviews of any broadcast drama premiere this fall. However, there are some, like the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/27/arts/television/quantico-should-i-watch.html?_r=0) who are saying that it’s just borrowing from the premise of other ABC shows, ‘How To Get Away With Murder’, and just placing it in a different setting. There was enough of a mysterious set up to keep viewers tuned in and wanting to figure out more, we’ll see how it goes next week.
