Scorpion (stylized as </SCORPION>) is an American action drama television series created by Nick Santora for CBS. The series stars Elyes Gabel (Walter O'Brien), Katharine McPhee (Paige Dineen), Eddie Kaye Thomas (Tobias Curtis), Jadyn Wong (Happy Quinn), Ari Stidham (Sylvester Dodd) and Robert Patrick (Cabe Gallo). Very loosely based on the life of its executive producer and self-proclaimed computer expert Walter O'Brien,[2] the series centers on O'Brien and his friends helping to solve complex global problems and save lives. The series premiered on September 22, 2014.[3][4] On October 27, 2014, CBS placed a full season episode order for the first season.[5] In March 2017, CBS renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on September 25, 2017.[6][7]

Scorpion received mixed reviews during its first season. The succeeding seasons achieved a more favourable reception. On May 12, 2018, CBS cancelled the series after four seasons.[8]

Cast and characters[]

Main[]

  • Elyes Gabel as Walter O'Brien, a genius with an IQ of 197; The character was arrested for hacking into NASA's mainframe as a child, seeking a set of blueprints to put on his bedroom wall. He has a hard time handling emotional situations. Walter is incredibly intelligent, and it is that high intelligence that gives him a very low EQ. He is blunt and doesn't really care how his words affect others, causing him to come off as arrogant and rude. Due both to his high IQ and low EQ, he has problems connecting with people, even geniuses he's known for years. He fears being alone, even though he once claimed to not have feelings, a notion he has since rejected. He's confident, and when he sees a problem he wants to solve it. He cares for his friends, so much so that he's willing to risk his life for them without a second thought. When he believed he was going to die, he told them stories of his fond memories of them, his way of telling them he loved them. He has occasionally said warm words to them, but rarely. Not only does he not often express emotions, but when faced with grief or anger or extreme emotion, he compartmentalizes his emotions until something triggers it and then it all comes gushing out. His inability to express emotions normally stems mainly from the fact that for most of his life, he only ever connected with two people: his sister, Megan, and Cabe Gallo. His relationship with Megan was very loving and the only friction in it was caused by their different views on her MS. Walter can be selfish and arrogant at times, but at heart is a kind individual who is always willing to help others, lay down his life for them if need be, especially those he cares about.
  • Katharine McPhee as Paige Dineen. Her mother had her when she was seventeen, and wound up going to jail for various kinds of fraud for a few months periodically, so Paige would lie to her friends and say her mom was a saleswoman. Eventually, her mom left. Because of the loss of the love of his life, her father never took her trick-or-treating, he just bought a bag of candy and put it on the front porch with the light off while he and Paige watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown". At 22, Paige had her son Ralph with her then-boyfriend Drew, but eventually, he left, telling Ralph he was going to see a movie. When Ralph was three, they were evicted, their stuff picked over at the curb, and she walked with him for blocks. She found a diner with a help wanted sign, used her last two dollars to buy him an ice cream, interviewed, and convinced Nemos to give her an advance. She worked there until she met Scorpion. She now serves as office manager for the team and helps to 'translate' the real world for them, helping them interact with the people they meet. In turn, the team helps her understand her genius son, Ralph. Paige is very kind, caring, and very emotional. Not only is she the mother to Ralph but she plays the role of the team's mother, as she takes care of them, makes sure they eat, socialize, and have fun. Even though Paige is not one of the geniuses, she manages to fit in in numerous situations. She manages to fit into team Scorpion, with an ability to keep her head in the game and helps her teammates and others to do the same. While Paige is not an intellectual genius, because she has humanitarian and social knowledge that none of the other teammates possess, she is sometimes the one with the solution. Paige is very humane, and she likes to embrace that, and help others to embrace it.
  • Eddie Kaye Thomas as Tobias "Toby" Merriweather Curtis, M.D., is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist with an IQ of 170, which is the lowest on the team. Toby serves the team as a behaviorist, 'reading' people whom the team encounters. His gambling addiction occasionally causes trouble for the team and him. Toby was raised in Brooklyn and attended PS 90 in Coney Island. His mother was clinically bipolar, and his dad often forgot he was there because Toby's mom's disorder drove him crazy. Toby decided to become a psychiatrist to help his parents. His father would also take him to tracks on Christmas Day, and later to pay for school Toby began to gamble, which led to an addiction and often trouble with loan sharks. His fiancée left him because of his addiction. He received his doctorate when he was seventeen. Toby is a narcissist with a slight dusting of addiction tendencies. Toby is usually humorous but can become very serious in appropriate situations (for example when Happy Quinn is in danger). He usually jokes in inappropriate situations as well. He makes these jokes to cover his real feelings he still harbours inside of all of his conflict of both his ex-fiancée and his parents’ mental issues that he failed to cure. He met Walter at the Cornet Room, a sleazy casino he hustled at. Walter intervened and bailed him out, just as he was about to receive a beating from the pit boss.
  • Jadyn Wong as Happy Quinn, a gifted mechanical engineer with an IQ of 184; Her mother died giving birth to her and this led to her father becoming an alcoholic, so he gave her up for adoption because he thought he was an unfit parent. Happy never found a real home, constantly moving from foster home to foster home. Many of these homes promised they would be the last one, but inevitably sent her back. This could be why Happy is the way she is now. Somehow, she found a cousin who owns a mechanic shop in Phoenix, Arizona. Happy was named for her parents' favourite song, R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People". After her mother died in childbirth, her father gave her up for foster care; her experience makes it difficult for her to interact with and relate to others. Happy has a hostile exterior, due to her being raised in the foster system. This is somewhat of an irony considering her name is happy and generally she is not happy. The trauma in the foster system caused her mistrust of people. She possibly has PTSD from her trauma and her flashbacks and aggression and avoidance of the memories she has, She normally keeps her emotions in check, but gets angry quickly and tries to deal with her pain by turning it into anger. She is extremely distrustful of others and is hurt by them. Despite this, she truly does love her friends.
  • Ari Stidham as Sylvester Dodd, a gifted mathematician and statistician with an IQ of 175; he is described as a "human calculator". He is a highly sensitive person and struggles with obsessive–compulsive disorder and anxiety, and harbours fears of germs, air transportation, boats, open water, he has more phobias than you can count (including claustrophobia and ornithophobia) and an eidetic memory. Sly's phobias can be limiting, but he is a courageous man who fights through those fears during a time of distress. His parents were frustrated with him as he was a disappointment to them and sent him to live with his uncle before Christmas one year. However, at the age of 16, he hacked a bank and stole $2,500, and ran away. Eventually, he ended up alone, broke and scared, ’contemplating bad things’, until the bank's forensic analyst tracked him down. Walter never reported him to the bank. Once, his father gave him weights as a gift, as his father wanted him to be into sports.
  • Robert Patrick as Agent Cabe Gallo, a former Marine and an FBI agent before joining Homeland Security; Gallo initially recruits the team to fix a serious air traffic control problem; afterwards, he asked them to become a liaison team to tackle difficult missions that the government does not have the human resources or technological prowess to handle them. When he was younger, he was married to a woman named Rebecca, with whom he had a daughter, Amanda, who died of a terminal illness at a young age with him by her side. He divorced Rebecca, but he only asked for their house. He first met eleven-year-old Walter when he was the agent who was sent to investigate the NASA hacker and recruited Walter to work for the government. He was Walter's handler and father figure for five years until he asked Walter to design some tracking software for "humanitarian purposes". However, the software was really used to bomb Baghdad and kill 2,000 civilians. Walter broke all ties with Cabe but was continuously tailed thereafter by Homeland. Cabe is an outgoing man who seeks to help those he loves and seems to have a lot of trust in those people. In the show, Cabe shows this trust to his surrogate son Walter, who he had difficulties with in the past. Walter even states this level of trust near the end of season 3, stating that out of all the crew, Cabe trusts Walter most. Cabe is a very forgiving person given the circumstances of Walter in the past, but when Allie, his girlfriend, betrays Sylvester by posting humiliating videos of him under the instruction of her boss, Cabe cannot forgive and ends the relationship, where at this moment Cabe seems relatively upset. With Sylvester’s encouragement, they later get back together.
  • Riley B. Smith as Ralph Dineen (recurring season 1, main seasons 2–4), Paige's son; he is initially believed to be a troubled child before meeting and interacting with Walter, who tells Paige that he is actually a genius. He interacts well with the team, and on occasion, assists with cases. Ralph was born to Paige Dineen and Drew Baker, and unbeknownst to them, was a genius. His father left when he was young, saying he was going to go see a movie, so Ralph had little memory of his father. Later, when Ralph had a sense of math, he started counting how many movies his dad would've seen until the present day. He has an IQ of 200.

Production[]

Development[]

According to Walter O'Brien, the idea for the show came from his company Concierge Up when they asked the question, "How do we attract more bright people to contract with our company to work on interesting projects?". They decided to pitch the idea for a 10-season show that would compete with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and "inspire a whole generation to see that 'smart is cool'".[16]

CBS leadership viewed the show as a dramatic variation of another CBS show, The Big Bang Theory – at that time the nation's most popular TV comedy – which featured a cast of similar brainy-young-nerd characters. CBS Primetime senior executive vice president Kelly Kahl, in a 2014 interview, indicated that CBS had intended the show as "kind of an extension of The Big Bang Theory but in the drama world."[17]

Reception[]

Ratings[]

Scorpion debuted on CBS on Monday nights in the fall of 2014, in a 10pm (Eastern) time-slot that had become an under-performer for CBS.[17] To give Scorpion an initial boost in audience for the first few weeks, CBS scheduled it to come on immediately after episodes of The Big Bang Theory, at that time television's most popular comedy.[17] Scorpion became CBS's highest-rated drama series for the advertiser-sought 18- to 49-year-old TV audience demographic.[17] "Live + 7" numbers showed a 4.5 rating in the key demographic, and Nielsen ratings were a 3.7.[17] The results helped CBS's primetime growth-leadership that fall, CBS's Monday night having improved more than any other night, not only for CBS, but also more than any night for any of the "Big 4" networks.[17]

The increase in CBS's own ratings in the Monday 10pm time slot was sizeable: a 65% total-audience increase over the same period a year earlier, and a 23% boost since that period for the age 18-49 audience.[17] Even after it was detached from The Big Bang Theory, the show continued to rank as the second-most-popular new drama on CBS.[17] In the older-focused 25-54-year-old audience demographic segment, Scorpion initially averaged a 4.9, the second-highest ranking new show in that audience, improving the network's previous-year performance in that time slot by 29%. (L+7's measurement of 25-54 year olds put Scorpion at 6.0.)[17] Scorpion's initial popularity extended beyond immediate-broadcast audiences, to include delayed-viewing audiences, making Scorpion CBS's most-streamed new show of the season, initially, across multiple platforms.[17]

Critical reception[]

Scorpion has received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, season one holds a rating of 42% based on 48 reviews, with an average rating of 5.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Typical procedural plot lines and boring characters using a distracting amount of geek-speak make Scorpion a forgettable show without sting."[30] On Metacritic, the show has a score of 48 out of 100, based on 24 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[31]

The show premiered on September 22, 2014, earning a 3.2 rating in the 18–49 demographic and 13.83 million total viewers.[32] This improved CBS' Monday 9 p.m. time slot from the previous season by 66% in total viewers and 22% in the 18–49 demographic. It was also Monday's top new series in viewers and key demographics.[33] The number of viewers during the first season across all platforms was 26 million.[34]

Broadcast[]

Scorpion was picked up in 13 countries,[35] including in the UK by ITV2 for broadcast starting on October 23, 2014.[36] The series premiered in fall on RTÉ2 in Ireland.[37] Australian Network Ten began airing the show on September 28.[38] In New Zealand, Prime began airing the show on October 10.[39] The show aired in Canada on City simultaneous to CBS.[40]
