So Alex Parrish is back! A couple of years back, Priyanka Chopra surprised her fans when she announced that she was going to ditch Bollywood to play the lead in the American TV series, Quantico. Everyone expected this move of hers as a stepping stone to get into Hollywood. Quantico, which used to be aired on the ABC network, gave Priyanka Chopra the right kind of exposure while also getting her visibility at the Oscars and Emmy's. She also won two People's Choice Awards for her performance in the TV series, not to mention bagging a few Hollywood movies, including Dwayne Johnson's Baywatch reboot.

However, the show in itself took off on a shaky note, with many comparing its premise with the other superior shows like Homeland and How to Get Away With  Murder. While Quantico did enjoy decent ratings in its early runs, the viewership tapered off when the second season began airing. There was also a possibility of the series getting scrapped. However, the makers chose to give it a new paint job, with Michael Seltzman of Code Black fame getting the reins from Joshua Safran as the showrunner.

The setting of the show has also shifted from the USA to Italy. The new season has started airing, and the early reviews call the shift in the scenario as refreshing, while Priyanka Chopra continues to be in excellent form.

IB Times says, "Without getting into the spoilers, Quantico season 3 episode 1 delivers a good comeback for Alex and her team. But somewhere, it leaves you asking for more. There was action, the story was fast-paced and there wasn't too much emotional drama to the episode but it felt like it was not enough. Taking absolute control of every scene she is in, Chopra proved she was the right choice for Parrish on the show. On the show, Chopra is seen talking in Italian and ASL with ease leaving everyone asking: What can this woman not do?"

The Quint, while being critical of the show's unwillingness to shed off its generic tropes, has all praise for the lead star. It said in its review, "Always self-assured, PeeCee’s charisma is undeniable. A glimpse of her wardrobe coupled with her graceful athletic physique will give you serious style envy. Her character, Parrish is tough as nails and as is the case in the previous seasons, the show is only interested in her ass-kicking stripes without taking more than a moment to delve into her inner life. How does she feel about being dragged back into the crime-fighting game? She is the unfailing saviour but will this season finally give us a more vulnerable Alex?"

Quantico's third season also brings back Johanna Brody and Jake Laughlin from the previous seasons. Let's hope the truncated run of the third season works in its favour and Priyanka Chopra gets more accolades for her role.
