Opening high and walking low is a common problem in American dramas

Douyin has become the largest supplier of my drama list sources. I occasionally get a chance to brush up on the reduced version of the Scorpio project. The setting is quite interesting. Four unreasonable high-IQ talents, because they can't communicate well, they can only do some router repairs. After Peggy joined, the geniuses gradually learned to communicate with people, gradually became famous, and also served the CIA, FBI and other important state departments, and fought against enemies with the same high IQ. How interesting it is, Who doesn't want to see what kind of sparks the 4 Einsteins team up will create?

However, the advantages of the whole film are really limited to the settings. I don’t hate Long Aotian-type plots. It’s also good for the protagonist group to pretend to be high-IQ. When reflecting the strength of the protagonist group, it should not be at the expense of lowering the IQ of the people around them, otherwise it will look very bad. Childish.

In the 10th episode, the protagonist group was sent to Bosnia to recover the fighter system. If you don't want the system to be stolen, send two more bombers to blow up the plane.

In episode 14, the CIA analyst was defrauded by a female netizen, and even stole prohibited materials from the national laboratory and sent it to a country like Yemen, which was obviously turbulent. The IQ of the CIA was insulted too badly.

In the 18th episode, the presidents of the three countries had a secret peace meeting in the United States, and they had to let a waiter who did not graduate from college to reconcile the atmosphere. The assistant secretary of state was like a mental retardation, which was too unreasonable.

…………

Similar to lowering the IQ of the surrounding people and raising the ability of the protagonist group, there are many bridges, making a plot under the banner of high IQ become boring. In fact, it is not that they are smart, but the screenwriter has lowered the IQ of the people around them to a low level. For ordinary people, I wanted to use my brain to think along, but it turned out to be just an ordinary popcorn TV series, and I was a little disappointed.

Toby's our behaviorist. Sylvester's a human calculator. Happy, a mechanical prodigy. Agent Cabe Gallo is our government handler. And Paige? Well, Paige isn't like us; she's normal.
