We were watching the season premiere of the The Big Bang Theory and I saw the promos for a new show Scorpion, which would come on after.  It didn't look too bad so I decided to watch and see if it was any good.

I liked the overall concept.  I mean, a group of genius hackers -- what's not to like?

Yes, the first mission was a bit "over the top", but it's a TV show so what else do you expect.  I'm also not too sure about the casting they did for the roles, but the main character seemed a better fit at the end of the show.

I did enjoy it though, and I'll watch a few more to see how it goes.  Did anyone else watch it?

You can view the first episode here.

The show, so far, is rather mediocre, even trite at times.  Seeing the X-files alumni actor playing a spy stuck handling /babysitting / the scorpions adds to my not really suspending disbelief as I watch.  Weird, because, in-spite of all this, I am looking forward to the next episode.  Scorpions is tapping something, just not sure what.  keep the cameras roiling.

The episode last night was one of my favorites so far.  Had a good mix of action, teamwork, and investigation.

My wife and I saw it for the first time last night, largely due to nothing else being on and we had already gone through most of our DVRed stuff.

I made the comment early that I love overacting as if it were a "B movie".  It grew on us though and we enjoyed it by the time it was over.  I especially liked the parallel thinking involved, even if it was rather grade school type stuff. 

I think we might watch it again if the opposing reruns of Big Bang Theory don't look good.
