Eccentric genius Walter O'Brien leads a group of brilliant misfits who constitute Homeland Security's new think tank, helping defend against the high-tech threats of the computer age. The team -- dubbed Scorpion -- includes behaviorist Toby Curtis, mechanical prodigy Happy Quinn, and statistics guru Sylvester Dodd. While comfortable with one another, the team members struggle with understanding life outside their circle, so when they need help translating societal cues, they rely on the skills of Paige Dineen, a woman with a gifted young son.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Typical procedural plotlines and boring characters using a distracting amount of geek-speak make Scorpion a forgettable show without sting.

Rob Sheffield Rolling Stone 09/30/2014
It's a genuine hoot: Any show that can unite Katharine McPhee and American Pie's Eddie Kaye Thomas (Fiiiiinch!) has the right to the fun-cedural crown. With its light touch, Scorpion might take off. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 09/23/2014

There are shows this fall that I expect to be much better in the long run than Scorpion, but there aren't many pilots I ultimately enjoyed more -- I even genuinely pumped my fist at one point. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 09/23/2014
If the series can live up to the backstory of its real-life inspiration that would be fantastic. Go to Full Review Tay Yek Keak The Straits Times (Singapore) 09/13/2016
This show is ridiculous but nevertheless fun and very easy to watch. Go to Full Review Dave Walker Times-Picayune 11/11/2014
I liked it way more than I expected, maybe because the characters didn't first live in a comic book. Go to Full Review Kristin Dos Santos E! Online 11/11/2014
This show about a gaggle of genius who save the world is pretty fast-paced and thrilling. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Martin T @RT47719073 Mar 20 If you passed high school science you will find this show infuriating. I can only assume it was written by a bunch of dumb people imagining what smart people might say. Generally it follows the "idiot plot" where the scenario develops only because everyone does the dumbest thing possible. The day is then saved by a supposed genius basically practicing magic while talking gibberish that might sound vaguely sciencey if you grew up in a cave and have never read a text book in your entire life. The characters are one dimensional stereotypes worse than big bang theory, and without the jokes. See more Mackinzie C. @mackinzie71 Jan 10 Fun to watch, keeps viewers on the edge. See more Kenan D @RT13751100 01/23/2025 they should recast same actors and continue the show See more Kenan D @RT54973914 01/23/2025 They should have continued the show and they need to recast samo actors as before the best tv show in history thank you See more Max D @RT73691741 11/24/2022 A show about geniuses, made by really ,really stupid Hollywood people. So Bad it hurts! See more 05/14/2022 This show is devoided of logic. The characters are 2d. BUT This show is so unimaginably stupid, that it is really amusing to watch. The plot twists are not forseeable because no concious human on this planet would ever think of what the writers did think of. Just turn off your brain and enjoy this show. You'll think "wtf" all the time, but you won't be angry about missing logic like in game of thrones season 8. See more Read all reviews
