8 TV Shows So Bad They Should Be Cancelled
6. Scorpion
Scorpion is an American action drama series loosely based on the life of the computer expert Walter O'Brien. O'Brien and his friends use their "epic" computer skills to solve important and potentially life-threatening problems. Think of it like all those cheesy "hacking" sequences in shows like CSI Cyber and you'll get the picture.
The show's main problem is that O'Brien (played by Elyes Gabriel), the leader of Team Scorpion, is a complete tool. Seriously, the man is insufferably arrogant, and his smug attempts at humour do nothing to endear him to the audience.
Couple that with the fact that rest of his team are walking stereotypes and there's a serious problem. Surely we're beyond the cliché of the overweight hacker and the improbably attractive female member of the "nerd" gang, right? Right? Then how did the show get a second season?
That's not to mention the amount of pseudo-technical jargon that's thrown about to make the show seem "intellectual".
