Critics’ reactions
When the Scorpion season 5 aired on CBS, it was a huge hit. The actors in the show did a fantastic job. It was also a well produced show, with intense action sequences.
The big idea behind the show is that the team of geniuses is helping the government solve problems. They are the last line of defense against the complex high-tech threats of the modern age.
The Scorpion is loosely based on the real life character of Walter O’Brien. He is a nerd with a knack for computers and a penchant for science.
The premise of the show is simple – a team of super smart misfits is hired by Homeland Security to help them stop crime. One of them is Walter O’Brien, a errant computer genius. Another member of the team is a mechanical mastermind named Happy Quinn.
Cancellation by CBS
Scorpion was a show that had a strong fanbase. Fans of the series started online petitions to get CBS to renew the show. They also pushed for Netflix to pick up the show and revive it for a fifth season.
In May 2018, Deadline reported that Scorpion had one of the lowest ratings among the network’s scripted programs during the 2017-2018 TV season. As a result, CBS decided to cancel the series.
It was a definite sign that the show’s ratings were dropping, and a large part of the reason for the cancellation was a low audience. However, it is not necessarily indicative of the quality of the show.
The cancellation of the show was a bitter pill to swallow. Fans of the series rallied to its side, as well as the cast members. Several of the actors took to social media to express their feelings.
Netflix’s history of bringing back old shows
It’s no secret that Netflix is a juggernaut when it comes to releasing new titles, but the company has also been known to revisit its best sellers from time to time. Among the most notable shows to make an appearance on the service are Stranger Things and Orange is the New Black. The latter is a cult favourite and fans of the former are in for a treat as Netflix has announced a big time season 5 which will wrap up the series in style.
As with any binge watching marathon, the company has opted to offer up a selection of titles that will keep the viewing experience as stress free as possible. One such title is the aforementioned Squid Game, a Korean thriller/drama whose nine episodes will undoubtedly be a highlight of your Netflix experience.
