Thanks to Darkness for the heads up.
Looks trashy.
ReplyDeleteHmm I do not like the promo
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! The show's going to be great!
ReplyDeleteYeah not really thrilled. They should go a bit more serious with this one.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit confused as I didn't know too much about this show, and this promo reeks of cheese but saw that the initial reactions/reviews were pretty overwhelmingly positive and had to go back and watch the promo, and even despite the "shippery type elements" and that it reminds me of the Rookie Blue show with the "newbie cop/agent candidate" theme, the twist of the mytharc plot of the big incident/wrongly accused character out to clear name got me interested and will definitely check this out
ReplyDeleteIt really does, terrible marketing!
ReplyDeleteHaving seen the pilot, this promo made me tilt my head. What fresh hell is this, ABC?
ReplyDeleteSeriously ABC, this is how you promote this show?
ReplyDeleteThey may be waiting until the reshoot the pilot, or whatever scenes needs to be reshot. But yeah, they could do 10x better.
ReplyDeleteThey only need to reshoot the scenes with Dougray Scott and they can easily make promos that don't include him.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree.
ReplyDeleteThe pilot only has one sex scene, which we already saw in the trailer. ABC is totally going in the opposite direction of how they should be promoting this show.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are trying to make it appealing to the Blood and Oil audience?
ReplyDeleteThis promo makes it seem like Abc doesn't want this show to be successful or anything. First they move it to a horrible and now their marketing it like that?
ReplyDeletePromo like for the Desperate Housewives rofl
ReplyDeleteand scheduling
ReplyDeleteI agree. Nashville will end after this season. Makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know, I really don't.
ReplyDeleteI really hate how ABC is promoting this show!
ReplyDeleteThey are highlighting every aspect of the show I have absolutely no interest in!
It makes me not want to watch despite the fact I usually love FBI/ conspiracy action shows.
It almost seems like ABC is so accustomed to promoting the sap, soap and sex that they just do not know what to do with a show that is not centered on those things! XD
ReplyDeletecool.
ReplyDeleteI have this bad feeling that it will be renewed
ReplyDeletePlease God no.
ReplyDeleteif it gets the same ratings as this year it will get renewed, but otherwise since its not owned by Abc studios and gets lower ratings then that it won't get renewed.
ReplyDeleteHelp, ABC lost their minds! They are promoting what is probably their best fall show in completely the wrong way. This makes no sense whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteIKR! Out of all of the new shows that Abc has listed so far this one seems to have the most potential. I agree with you about Nashville it makes no sense that they would keep a low rated show thats on the verge of ending in a comfortable timeslot robbing the chance of this show to become successful.
ReplyDeleteI guess they figured: we have Priyanka Chopra, one of the most beautiful women in the world, as our lead, let's just focus on that in the marketing instead of on the actual story.
ReplyDeleteBad move, ABC. Also, isn't her character supposed to be a strong independent woman? Why focus on her looks instead of her character? :(
It's already in a death slot and it will have a bad lead in, I would be surprised if the show was renewed.
ReplyDeleteROFL - what a terrible promo. Priyanka Chopra is attractive but she is not that hot to carry a show on her own by trying to sell it as sexy.
ReplyDeleteThe promos during the NBA should be action oriented to entice the male viewers.
Is it just me or somebody else got the impression ABC is trying to copy Blindspot? But in Blindspot the female protagonist naked and covered in tattoo is not only a powerful image but relates to the plot, it makes no sense to do the same with Quantico... Bad move.
ReplyDeleteReally?! This is supposed to be a show about FBI recruits arriving at the base for training - "the best, the brightest and the most vetted." Does ABC honestly think people would have no interest in a show like this unless it's full of naked sexy women? And is all female FBI recruits need to concern themselves with is whether or not they're sexy and look good half naked?
ReplyDeleteI was interested in watching the show based on the premise but I'm definitely turned off now.
I hope it can self-start a bit, but it has a tough time slot for sure. Though I wasn't a fan of the Tuesday time slot either.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out the other promos, they give a way better image of what the show is like.
ReplyDeleteABC i beg you, please do not ruin this show!!! Then, all we have left are Shonda Rhimes dramas, dramas that copied dynasty and a drama about the bible which had one of the worst trailers i have ever seen
ReplyDeleteTuesday was bad as well, but Sunday is worse.
ReplyDeleteIf i was the writer of this show and SAW this i Would Start crying. How could the actress even agree to doing this?!
ReplyDeleteI went from undecided about whether or not to watch this show to definitely not watching after seeing that promo!
ReplyDeleteTalk about desperate promotion on ABC's part. Yes, Chopra is gorgeous but as far as I know, this show is exponentially more serious and driven than this. ABC already killed the show's chance of the slightest bit of success, now they want to sexualize it to bring in turned on male viewers? What about the women who will take offense to this?
ReplyDeleteSo basically, this strategy sucks.
wth??
ReplyDeleteWhy is Nashville still on Wednesdays when Quantico deserves it more? Move Castle to Sundays, then Nashville to Mondays, and Quantico to Wednesdays. Is that too much to ask?
ReplyDeleteIt's not the scheduling that bothers me as much as the stupid promo. That promo for Quantico was awful. ABC, step up your game and don't be like 2012-13 season when only two rookies got renewed that year.
One of the strongest pilot shows and this!!! Is how they promote it cheap move by ABC if a show is good the audience will watch no matter the slot
ReplyDeleteThe promo is just promising something the show isn't thats just sad
I'm very interested in this show, but that was horrible!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have done that, Daniel. I was just venting my disgust at this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? I don't even...SMH. So many wrong things in this promo that the person who came up with this and the person who let this go on air should both probably be in other jobs.
ReplyDeleteWhy is ABC doing this? This is their best new show (IMO) and they give it a terrible time slot and this terrible promo? Are they trying to ruin Quantico?
ReplyDeleteNow that sucked. Way to go ABC.
ReplyDeleteThis 2nd teaser sucks even more.
ReplyDeleteOh dear god, what the hell is wrong with you, ABC!!!
ReplyDeleteNo teaser promos for Dr Ken and Blood and Oil?
ReplyDeleteNo please do not judge according to that promo!!!! The show will be so awesome. Abc is just doing a terrible Job at promoting it correctly
ReplyDeleteLol I came here for that tweet STV sent out! They make it look like she's 'most wanted' because she's the hottest girl on Earth or something, really weird promos :/
ReplyDeleteABC is so incredibly stupid for promoting their best fall show like this!!
ReplyDeleteA bit better but not really what I wanted from the promotion.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if they wanted to appeal to the males watching the game with Priyanka's sexy but really not the way they should do it.
If they promoted my show like this, I Would scream
ReplyDeleteHas ABC forgotten that this is a terrorism thriller and not a soap opera?!
ReplyDeleteMy complete dislike of ABC is solidified everyday. They are trying to ruin Quantico for me before it even airs. Mofo's. They make me feel so justified in laughing at them. I wish like hell Agent Carter and Quantico were on a better network. AoS too for that matter.
ReplyDeletePeople used to look down on the CW for their shows but they are now miles above ABC. In shows and marketing.
OMG. If that isn't the worst 1-2 promo combo I've seen a quite some time. I swear I thought this was an action show, but I suppose ABC has to 'appeal' to its 'frustrated housewife/ice cream-eating single' core demo.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that it indeed is an Action/ thriller show
ReplyDeleteLol it didn't suck THAT bad. I just hope they aired promos with actual scenes though.
ReplyDeleteto be honest its really weird seeing PC as an american citizen with an accent.
ReplyDeleteThis is slightly better than the first one, at least she isn't naked this time. Still, ABC sucks for promoting the show like this and I actually feel sorry for Priyanka.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I watched the first trailer after watching these because I DEFINITELY wasn't interested based on these "teasers".
ReplyDeleteI don't really get your problem with these promos. I mean, don't be over dramatic. We're in June, the show starts in october. They have plenty of time to promote it in different ways. They're starting with Priyanka, betting on her looks. Yeah okay, it's not very relevant about what the show is, but during NBA playoffs, showing an almost naked beautiful woman to sell a show is not a very bad move for a masculine audience. They will focus later on other strong selling points, don't worry!
ReplyDeleteI will most likely watch the first episode and then judge. But these promos make the show look like it's all going to be about sex..
ReplyDeleteWith so much competition and quality TV around, you don't get to make a lot of screw-ups. There will be people who would decide to not watch the series solely based on that horrid ad.
ReplyDeleteBesides all that, it's a little insulting to say an almost naked beautiful woman can sell a TV show to any audience.
Personally I thought the first trailer for Quantico was bad enough...
ReplyDeleteI love FBI/ CIA/ espionage Action Thrillers, but the way ABC focused on the the sex, relationships and PC in the first trailer I had fears of what ABC was going to do with the show itself. The next two teasers have done nothing to alleviate my fears - in fact they have just magnified them!
Some may say that they are just trying to capture a male-skewing NBA audience, but I find that problematic on so many levels. Foremost being that if they actually do manage to pull some moronic viewers in because they think PC is hot and want to see her half naked weekly many of those viewers will be disappointed when she is not.
On top of that ABC's promos, such as they are, have lessened my interest in the series with each promo released. They have been incredibly counter-productive for myself and others I know.
Maybe the sexpot ads will draw in some viewers that would not have watched Quantico otherwise, but at what cost? How many of those viewers will keep watching when they find the ads misrepresented the series? How many will not tune in because they want to see something more similar to Homeland - not Grey's Academy.
I do not think these ads have doomed the show to fail, but it has been arguably the worst promotional campaign start I have seen... Especially considering the money behind it!
I agree. Most of the people will forget this promo by time September gets here. You have to remember th majority of the people that watch shows are not people you would find on this site, therefore do not look at shows or their promos through the same lense we may.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad,ABC!
ReplyDeleteThat's the main problem with these promo's. They make the show seem like it's a sexy drama, while it's actually a thriller/action show.
ReplyDeleteSo people who like action-y shows won't watch it based on this promo, and people who like sexy drama's will watch this show but tune out once they realise it's an thriller/action show.
Appearantly there is just one short (very un-romantic/sexy sex scene) in the pilot and that's it. The rest of it focuses on terrorism and action.
ReplyDeleteHowever, a lot of people had been commenting on how attractive the lead, Priyanka Chopra (who was once Miss World), is so it seems like ABC decided to market this show based on her looks instead of the actual story.
Well personally I don't care how "attractive" the lead is I just a care about the acting and plot. I'll watch the first episode and hopefully it's good. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteWell at least she's not naked and covered by a flag this time...
ReplyDeleteIt is actually co-produced by ABC studios.
ReplyDeleteNooo another awful promo, ABC! What is wrong with you?
ReplyDeleteðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
ReplyDeleteThat is my reaction
Someone take this show away from ABC. They are ruining the experience.
ReplyDeleteThis new one is better of the 3. At least ABC is promoting it heavily despite the poor timeslot.
ReplyDeleteThese promo are truly cringe-worthy. We couldn't stop laughing when the one came on last night during the game. Someone thought it was a Kimmel parody!
ReplyDeleteI'm losing interest in Quantico.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the 3rd promo. A handful of my friends, who aren't TV fanatics, last night were like, "what's this about, seems like it would be interesting" showed them the preview, and they were hooked. So, I think that negates the fact, that the promo is gonna stop being from watching the show.
ReplyDeleteI don't expect these little teasers to stop anyone from trying the show but they aren't doing a thing to make viewers aware of what kind of show it actually is. They want it to look like one of their mediocre soaps, job well done.
ReplyDeleteThese promos are awful,and so far she does nothing that makes me want to watch.
ReplyDeleteI definitely understand and agree. But they have plenty of time to do that. Even if they would have given an awesome 15 sec teaser, the average person would have forgetten about it by the time Sept gets here, imo.
ReplyDeleteWhy?! Don't trust These promos! I am sure it will be mich better
ReplyDeleteI don't trust them but I was really excited for this show. These teasers pluck my nerves so bad, they're putting me off of it before it even starts.
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of that feeling you get after listening to a song over and over to the point you never want to hear it again.
Oh whoa! These teasers are horrible... They need a new campaign for this show now!
ReplyDeleteWow so really just using a woman's physical attractiveness to market aren't they in that last one. I'm good this shows premise sounds so very boring.
ReplyDelete
