Scorpion

Yes, 99% of people that watch this show know that it's over the top and beyond silly. BUT, who cares, not every show has to be based in reality. Plenty of people watch GOT and Star Wars and other fictional shows and don't complain how unrealistic they are. This show is fiction, it's fantasy, crazy, over the top and good for a odd laugh. Don't take it seriously and you might just enjoy it. The characters are likeable and the stories are passable.

I gave it 7 because it's just fun entertainment and that enough for me.

The show is ridiculous with no understanding of human intelligence or autism. Somehow it's still entertaining, but in an almost insulting way.

To be fair, I've only watched 15 minutes of the first episode, but if I'm being honest, I'll probably watch another episode.

Fun storyline, although it's not realistic as many people hope. This is the first crime scene based series I enjoyed since watching Castle. The humor and the not knowing how they gonna solve it really makes me sit on the edge of my seat multiple times. I really hope they will come with a next season because this really is a show you can enjoy. The first episode may be a bit much, but please give a review if you watch multiple episodes because the pilot really is a bit unrealistic. The will it work or will it not question is a question you ask yourself a couple of times during the series.

Evidently several reviewers who pan this show as "unrealistic" have never seen any of today's mega-hit action movies. They are all "unrealistic", "over the top", etc. They make no attempt to be realistic. They focus on being FUN.

An LA Times movie critic called this show "ridiculous, but fun". EXACTLY!!! If you want realism, watch a documentary. This show is intended to provide entertainment, pure and simple, and on that score I give it high marks. All of the actors are archetypes of the character types that they portray, and at that they seem to me to all excel. They are no different than the superhero genre of films that are raking in so many $$$ at the box office today.

OK, it's full of "geniuses" (or is that genii?) and the leader has an IQ of 197 but please, its a TV show & is made for entertainment - and this it does. Had all these episodes been factually correct like most of the reviewers on here seem to want I guarantee you would have switched off after 10 minutes cos it would be so damned boring. Personally ( and not having an IQ in genius levels) I found this entertaining, funny in places and certainly not boring, the characters were quite likeable, the idea was sound - and based (loosely) on a real life company and ok, the plots were a little ott but that's television for you. I look forward to more outings with team Scorpion
