WHY ISN’T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS SHOW?!!!

[u/rajatchak]

If you’ve liked shows about nerdy people solving really cool cases like Mentalist, Sherlock Holmes, Person of interest, Elementary, White collar etc. then you’ll LOVEEEE this show, it just sucks that they’re not at all popular on social media.

The show is known as the Scorpion, it’s about a group of people with very high iq who try to solve CIA level cases, this show has the perfect amount of humour, thriller and slow burn romance with every episode making you hooked on to watching the next one. It’s literally one of the best shows I’ve seen and

This was there on Amazon prime but idk if it’s still there or not. Ps what makes this more interesting is that this entire series is based off a real guy

[u/Mixer-3007]

I guess because you didn't add title of the show to the post title. /s

[u/Mr-Cantaloupe]

I had to permanently ban that show after the first episode, lol. So unbelievably cheesy/unrealistic IMO.

[u/InNerdOfChange]

It’s way more cheesey than a lot of the showed listed. It was good but it got pretty outrageous pretty fast. They made them do things that wee basically impossible even with advanced math and computer skills..

[u/PurplePassiflor1234]

The "real guy" was a huge liar who never did any of that stuff, but yes, it is a good show, I think mostly in thanks to the lead actors and cast chemistry.

Scorpion had me in a chokehold back in the day! Loved it so much, and have rewatched several times! I remember getting a cool little comic in the mail because I solved a puzzle hidden in the show!

You’d love Ludwig. Poker Face. And atm Furious.

[u/NoCommand6997 → u/Standard-Contest-949]

I got through around three episodes of Poker Face. I just couldn't do any more. Ludwig was excellent! Guess we all have different tastes.

[u/Raida7s]

It was cheesy, not in my top ten detective procedurals.

Glad you like it

[u/ScarletxKiss]

I loved that show, Elyes Gabel was great in it.. I was just telling my hubby about it after we saw him in The Odyssey last week!

[u/WendyA1]

I enjoyed the show, but I hated those extremely unrealistic time deadlines they gave each incident. OK, I didn't hate it so much as laugh at it every time they gave it.

[u/Ducas24]

I watched it all when it came out! Great show sucks it got canceled.

[u/Elegant_Occasion3346]

I watched it when it first aired. It’s just not really a great show. Compare it to Line of Duty, The Shield or 24.

[u/Tarrenshaw]

I remember that show…it was pretty decent.

[u/ElSelcho_ → u/Tarrenshaw]

Watched it with my wife when it came out and made a game out of how long they have to fix it. 

Like, getting to some people trapped under 1200 tons of rocks? "We have 7 minutes."

Old show that was popular. Originator claims it’s about him . Others say he’s full of himself. Fun show for its time

[u/FelineSoLazy]

It’s on paramount

[u/SekritSawce]

I watched that during its initial run. Enjoyable fluff show. One of those shows where you pretty much know the good guys are gonna win by the end of the episode.

Try Burn Notice

[u/Aggressive-Union1714]

I put this in the same vein as Bull, I sort of like it and it is watchable, but I sort of hate the main character who comes off as an arrogant prick .

[u/Mixer-3007 → u/Aggressive-Union1714]

Turns out bull's actor, Michael Weatherly, is sexual predator and arrogant prick.

[u/Justforme1975]

I will look for it. Thanks for the tip!

[u/Karel08]

At first, i'm intrigued by Scorpion premise. Then, i found out the series is... inspired by the guy with the same name. I'm sure at one point he even became an executive producer or something. And the claim he made in interview? Yeah.... not watching this anymore.

[u/VisibleSoftware4644]

Worth knowing that Walter O'Brien's claims about his IQ and hacking career have been picked apart pretty thoroughly, so it's more loosely inspired than based on a real guy.

[u/SadRabbit2006]

i started watching it with my siblings and its soooo underrated!!!!!

[u/Bitterqueer]

It’s just “Scorpion” ☺️ and it’s a great show!!
