Scorpion, the latest action/genius protagonist show to join the ranks of Agents of Shield and The Big Bang Theory, stars Elyes Gabel as Walter O'Brian {a real-life self-proclaimed genius and computer expert}. As a child, Walter had a bad run-in with a Homeland Security officer. Fast-forward a few years and as a young man, Walter has started his own company consisting of a rag-tag group of three other geniuses. Their combined IQ is seven hundred, yet they struggle to pay their bills on time. When the Homeland Security officer comes knocking with an emergency on his hands, Walter hesitates but then dives in to save lives. With the help of Paige, a young waitress with a gifted son, Walter sets out on a new adventure.
This show has appeal with action-oriented geniuses, but the pilot didn't quite catch my attention. It could also have been because I was busy with the baby at the time too. I did like the geniuses trying to help Paige connect with her young genius son and look forward to more of that.
