Scorpion (2014)

Review by bobdotexe

Scorpion

7/10

Tries to be a show about misunderstood smart people..

The writing of this show seems like they're really trying hard to make it about smart, socially adept inept people, and in that aspect it fails pretty hard.

what you get is a team of genius stereotypes, who go from finishing each others sentences, to "I can't work like this" in only a few seconds flat. Not from resolved issues mind you, but for when the 'plot' calls for it

Each of the characters are given a 'role' and with that a 'social problem' but they as stated before it seems to be a non-constant.

Aside from the characters (the main 'selling point' of the show) it ends up being similar to a 'police procedural' show.

The episode starts with a problem, and it's up to the team to solve it. And the problems them selves are pretty interesting. noting 'ground breaking' as of yet. but the progression of the case is done fairly well, even though they some times try to throw in some (pretty cheesy) character development,

Overall reasonably interesting show IMO, not worth waiting for each week, but worth watching on the official CBS site when you don't have anything else to watch.
