user-10-624576 This is the best example of what happens when idiots write a show about super geniuses. Nothing makes any logical sense and it is just full of stereotypical cliches.There is no logic or realism in this show. I get that almost no show can be perfectly logical, but in this case, the writers don't even understand the most basic of the things. Every few minutes, you will have to think "Ugh, that's not how that works".I guess you will feel like a super genius after watching this series, because clearly the hundreds of people who worked and invested in this series have failed at it. I wonder why they didn't even take the help of any consultants. Just one person who understand the basics of tech would have helped the series.It is weird that the cinematography is so good, and for the first 30seconds I thought, wow this is such a nice plot and so good, why didn't I watch this before?.

frazol Its a very exciting series but it overly relies on actions that are almost fictional expecting the human brain to function as a computer which is imposible no matter how high your IQ is you can expect one to estimate an angle with pinpoint accuracy in his head yet this is shown multiple times in the series . If I am to be honest what I really dont like is their potrayal of Africa as if its some kind of wasteland ruled by warlords yet the truth is contrary .I personally come from Zimbabwe and if they had done their research on Africa they would realise that though the situation here in Africa is far from perfect many people live a good comfortable life. Also what people call the African accent it doesnt exist and that accent they show people is quite frankly annoying. Africans have an accent that is similar to the british accent with slight variations

idonthaveaddress Well, comparing to other TV series, the fun is quite outstanding (I think people just take it too serious for the scientific-realistic point of view, well, it's just action fantasy series, which are entertaining.)The annoying part is the fact that it is inspired by "true stories", Walter O'Brien is real, but that's probably it. He's not in Mensa or having any evidence about his high IQ or even the intelligence scales (which make the scores vary). His claims are not realistic or touchable at all, getting 90th for a computer competition doesn't sound like 4th genius person in the world. With him bragging about his IQ, trying to lift him/themselves up from average people with the emotions and stuff make the whole thing look worse. Like every single damn episode contains the bragging parts.Smart people bragging and looking down on to other people, lol, that makes Mensans look bad. The intelligence should be shown in other ways, don't be a group of douches that bring other high iq societies down.

dothancore I gave the show a fair shot. Despite the negative reviews especially towards the pilot, I kept hoping it gets better. The show has a lot of potentials, I like the premise of a genius group solving crimes and national security crisis. But a full season in ... the storyline remains flat, there wasn't really any shining moment with smart twists as I'd expect from this kind of shows. All it had is the same old stereotype, a lot of pseudo-science, as if a few key strokes on a laptop would be enough to solve everything. There wasn't really much science, knowledge at all, that would have given the audience more excitement and something to learn from. There wasn't much chemistry and emotional bond between the main characters neither. The love story between Page and Walter, or Toby and Happy just weren't convincing or seducing. I don't know who is the "science adviser" of the show - assume there is one, the guy needs to go and they need to find a replacement at least getting to "The Big Bang Theory" level, with serious science/tech background. Otherwise the show will be a joke + soap opera.
