I am new to programming code, but I am pretty sure </ goes at the end of a line of code and not the beginning as the title of </Scorpion> suggests. That set aside this show was surprisingly good. It starts with lead character Walter O’Brien (Elyes Gabel) hacking NASA as a kid and getting escorted away by homeland security. It is now present day and he a herd of genius’ have started a company with good intentions just not with the business acumen needed.
The government heeds their help in stopping a terrorist attempt in bringing down 52 planes heading for LAX. They end up at a diner with Paige Dineen (Katherine McPhee) who has a young son that appears to be on the autism spectrum and is clearly a genius. The team and McPhee save the day and are hired by the government to continue to save the day.
I enjoy nerdy humor and nerds in action and this show has a lot of that. Putting characters in harms way that you expect not to succeed is always fun to watch.
