It’s official: we’re obsessed with Quantico. If you’re not addicted to ABC’s latest thriller, chances are you’ve got some serious Netflix and chilling to do. From intense plot lines to Priyanka Chopra’s unreal accent, here are 6 reasons why you absolutely need this TV show in your life.

1. Intense plot lines

The show is set in Quantico and follows a group of new FBI recruits, including Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra), who is framed for the biggest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. Exciting, right?

2. Priyanka Chopra’s accent


Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra’s American accent is as smooth as honey. Seriously, we could listen to it all day long.

3. Ryan Booth


Jake McLaughlin plays special agent Ryan Booth, and let’s just say he’s H-O-T. Bonus: He takes his shirt off from time to time.

4. FBI

If you’re into crime shows like Criminal Minds and CSI and dramas like Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder, you’ll totally love Quantico. The show is one plot twist after the next—just when you think it’s about to zig, it zags.

5. The chemistry

6. Supporting characters

Alex Parrish and Ryan Booth play the lead characters, but the other characters are just as interesting, diverse, and more importantly, good looking.

Quantico airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EST on ABC. The first season can be streamed on Netflix.
