Priyanka's performance as Alex Parrish, an FBI recruit who finds herself labeled a co-conspirator in one the biggest terrorist attacks on American soil since 9/11, has been warmly welcomed in most reviews and also by some of the 33-year-old actress' colleagues.
Among them was Kerry Washington, Olivia Pope from hit TV show Scandal with who Priyanka hung out at an ABC party in May. Kerry rooted for Priyanka on Twitter:
Ok people. TURN UP to TUNE IN to my friend @priyankachopra's new show! #Quantico #BadAssWomenOfABC https://t.co/ljCB17BVkv

After the party in May, Priyanka told The Hollywood Reporter, "We practically ran toward each other. Can you believe we've never actually met? We've just had a virtual love fest over the phone and on Twitter. She congratulated me on Quantico, and I congratulated her on the success of Scandal. I'm a huge Olivia Pope fan, I binge watch the show when I'm getting into hair and makeup or on long-haul flights, so it was great to finally meet her in person. She was everything I expected her to be. Warm, funny, genuine and so gorgeous."
Kerry's Scandal co-star Bellamy Young also tweeted:
BRAVA @priyankachopra ! @QuanticoTV is fantastic, & you were perfection in it! Can't wait 2c what happens next! Love you, mama!!

In its review of the first episode of Quantico, the New York Times review said: "The strongest human asset in Quantico is (Priyanka) Chopra, a Bollywood superstar and former Miss World who is immediately charismatic and commanding amid the otherwise generic ensemble. If there's a problem with her casting, it's that she may come across as too seasoned and assured to be persuasive as a shaky, neophyte recruit."

The show also stars Jake McLaughlin, Aunjanue Ellis, Yasmine Al Masri, Johanna Braddy, Tate Ellington, Graham Rogers, Anabelle Acosta and Josh Hopkins in pivotal roles.
