This show should be renamed "smart people for dummies". OMG so bad, and a real insult to actual smart people. The scripts suck, the plots suck, the overall treatment and story lines just suck.
First of all, very very few "smart" people seriously need waitresses to "interpret" the world for them (as expressed in the intro) - much less manage a whole team like Scorpion. Robert Patrick's acting is as good as ever, but my god please give the man a real script! Sometimes the show just seems to ramble and I wish they would just all shut up.
Technical solutions cited are often silly and re-invent technology on the fly ("shadow files" on IP routers for weeks LOL such BS) The irony here is: that the smarter a person is the more of a waste of time and possibly even insulting this whole production is for them to watch. Just sad and missed opportunity to actually develop some watch-worthy entertainment.
Season Two Update: Some episodes are starting to improve in technical background research. I'm still bored to tears, and detached for the most part. But some of it is bearable now at least. Rating upgraded 2 to 4 stars.
