I watched the 1st 2 episodes last night.
It wasn't boring. But, it felt a little disjointed. It starts out with the rookies in Quantico, then jumps into when they're active agents and then jumps again way into the future when one of the characters becomes the director of the FBI. Mara's character goes on an undercover assignment against some dirty cops and then they just abruptly end that plot.
I don't really know how to articulate what I think of it this early on. It's an FX show and is well made. There is a pretty wild and bloody shootout in episode 2 in the middle time period. I guess I'll see how it goes. I know streaming shows are just piling up for most here, so I don't really expect anyone here to follow this week to week.

I just binged available eps of this a few days ago. I thought it was gonna be just an FBI Drama, had no idea it would have some ScFi aspects to it. I'm in 
Pros:
-Bryan Tyree Henry. Fascinated by his character and the actor is doing great.
-The way this is shot if beautiful. The sets in the future are great.
-The score. I love it's atmospheric feel.
-The Pacing. It's a slow burn but I like it.
Cons:
-The Pacing.
Though I said above that I love it, it did lose me in recent eps. But i was able to get back on track.
