Scorpion: Serviço de Inteligência

..... through Season 3. Worst Series Finale I've seen in my 61 years.

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.

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.

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.

I really don't know what all the fuss from other reviewers is about! Well I do know what it is about...it's just not a big deal. Whoever expects a movie like this to be realistic? Just watch it for entertainment and don't analyse it too much! Yes it's all pretty corny but for me that just adds laughs to the entertainment value!

And extended entertainment value is added by the option to pick out the irregularities afterwards...all part of the fun! For me, the main one would be, how can such phenomenal geniuses come up with the most extraordinary solutions to problems because of their amazing ability to harness and process facts and information, only to rack up the suspense when their solution fails, due to them having overlooked a relatively straightforward factor that meant their plan could never have worked in the first place?! Oh of course, I forgot - if they'd got it right first time there would have been far less to keep us in suspense!

And could someone please explain to me, if a WiFi connection won't work from a fast moving plane to a stationary laptop, why would it work from the laptop in just as fast a moving car (yes, just as fast!) to another stationary computer??

AFTER WATCHING SECOND EPISODE: The fast moving problem solving and action continues most entertainingly, using the varied mix of interesting personalities in the team to effectively add variety, interest and more rounded humanity. But even more than that, this episode has also brought a whole new dimension by interweaving with the main narrative the personal lives of the team, bringing moving emotional input into a story which up until now we might have expected to be centred around heartless mechanical geeks! An unexpected but brilliant improvement to an already enjoyable format!

AND AFTER WATCHING THE THIRD EPISODE: I'm beginning to come round to some of the views of the more negative reviewers - the technical solutions apparently thought up by geniuses are very corny and unrealistic and the sitting down hacking into computers in no time at all while the clock is ticking down to the next disaster does get rather repetitive! The role of Paige Dineen (Katharine McPhee) does add much needed colour however with her personality and chemistry with Walter. It is fast moving and lot of the speech is very fast and poorly articulated so it is very difficult to pick up some of the details making it hard to follow the plot. Downrated to 6.
