Scorpion

[teachsac]

Inspired by a true story, SCORPION is a quirky, humor-filled adrenaline rush that follows an eccentric genius and his network of nerdy prodigies. They operate as a think tank formed by Homeland Security, and their task: to deal with the complex threats of the modern age. Solving the most mind-boggling national issues comes naturally to them, but these socially awkward misfits can't seem to get out of their own way when it comes to life outside the laboratory.

Looking forward to watch it. I like the looks of this one better than Stalkers. I know it´s probably not a feasible scenario but apparently has lots of action.

Glad this is here, I forgot about that I wanted to catch this show and see if it was any good.

 

[riffjim4069]

Ummm...well, this one so unbelievable that no amount of suspending disbelief could help. I equate watching this episode to playing low-budget Jeopardy. Although you may win, you come-away with so little that it wasn't worth the time you invested playing or, in this case, watching.

 

[Dan in VA]

Lol, I haven't watched it yet but doesn't sound promising.

 

[DJdish]

I know it was supposed to have been full of suspense and and all that.

Spoiler

What I found most thrilling was the scenes with the waitress driving and the car crash.

I have the hunch, this show won´t live long. On the good side I can say it´s family friendly, no sex, no violence.
Maybe I´ll watch another episode, but no promises.

 

[Dan in VA]

I know the guy it's based off of is real but are any of the stories true? I would think I would have heard about it before.

I know the guy it's based off of is real but are any of the stories true? I would think I would have heard about it before.

Sounds to me like it was inspired in the real guy, and then the stories for the episodes are just made up. It sounds too unreal, too fantastic to be true.

 

[boba]

Recorded it and at the same time recorded an old episode of JAG. Watched SCORPION fast forwarding over some segments found it marginally watchable, have questions about future episodes. Watched JAG after Scorpion and just felt even though this wasn't the best JAG I've watched it was just so much better than SCORPION.

 

[thechaz05]

I liked it. More enjoyable than some of the other garbage that is on.

 

[teachsac]

On the DVR. Decided to watch Gotham last night. Great choice.

Entertaining, but I can see it getting real old real fast.
