Scorpion (2014)

Watchseries; I was literally glued to my couch last night while watching the last episode of Scorpion, "Dominoes". I am not an expert by any measure, but I find this TV show extremely entertaining :) There's suspense where you need it, romance where you need it, the characters are well-built with their own persona and backgrounds, the plot is understandable, easy to follow, and the actors are very believable (yes, I think so!!). Also, FINALLY a TV show with no blood splatters and no visits to the morgue (such a deja-vu lately), just fascinating brains at work...so refreshing! Seriously, every time I think "it can't get any better"...it does! I can't wait for next episode!!!

Scorpion watchseries. This was disappointing. I liked the characters and the show's premise had potential. The plot however, was so contrived and so divorced from reality that I had to stop watching after the 10th time I shouted "That's not the way that works!" at the TV.

Everything from computer and network technology gaffes to a basic misunderstanding of how radios work between aircraft and from ground to air, and the fact that airliners have the ability to divert to a different airport if their original destination airport is shut down... for *whatever* reason -- including snow storms and other bad weather. This actually happens on a fairly regular basis.

Once you realize that pilots can make intelligent decisions and land their aircraft with or without air traffic control help, then the whole "airliners gonna fall out of the sky" problem goes away.

I'm not demanding total realism from a TV show. I'll accept reasonable stretches of the imagination. Just please don't blow me out of my 'suspension of disbelief' with incredibly stupid departures from reality.

This show may have "promise", and the actors involved may be talented, but the script was less believable than Sharknado.

My God! Planes can't land! So have one fly the length of the runway with a car speeding under it so we can get software from it! Here's a thought, land the plane, walk up to it, and plug in. Here's another thought -- just land ALL the planes with a old fashioned radio communications like they do ever day at airports with power failures. Lazy, lazy, lazy writing based on a stupid premise.

Oh my God! There's a bug in the software! The genius in the show carries out basic project management to correct the problem. But! With lots of car chases. A show about geniuses that was mostly car chases.

Script must have been written by a 19 year old, and not one that would fit into the show's cast of characters.

Where to begin...made-up names for technologies (Slow Servers, routing hubs and the list goes on), inaccurate uses and capabilities of existing technology are just for starters (typing a few keys and windows pop-up and scrolling text, rj-45 cables dangling from jetliners). I won't rehash a lot of what the other reviews have posted, other than to state that this quite possibly the most technically inaccurate show on TV today. If this show was satire or something based in an alternate reality that would be one thing, but this supposed to be based on present day.

I thought I'd give it a second chance and a third. I did and it disappointed each time. It's really a shame, the premise of the series was interesting, but the delivery was horrendous. How this show made it out of pilot is beyond me. I'd say it's entertaining, but the story flaws make it too distracting to enjoy.

I bought into the trailers; I was interested. But this show was a mess.

I wasn't expecting fine drama, but I was hoping for something reasonably intelligent (like a Person of Interest or Numbers). Instead it was just insultingly dumb. Bad clichés, tired plot devices, and magical techno wizardry that didn't even make sense.

We will only get the quality of programming that we demand. If the networks keep providing this rubbish, and we watch it, then we have no one else to blame. I have to assume that the people who spent their time and effort making this show realized how insulting it was to the viewers' intelligence. So, if you watch it, you'll get what you deserve.

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.
