I kind of liked the male and female leads, so I will watch a few more episodes and hope the ridiculous action stuff was just for a flashy pilot.

Hopefully the show does have more fun ridiculous action stuff because otherwise it's just a dull show with dumb logic and bad nerd stereotype characters.

Of all the things wrong with the show, the casting for the genius engineer girl is at the top. She cannot loving speak normally, and every time she talks it just sounds like there's something wrong with her. How the hell did she pass through the auditions for the part and the casting director heard her talk and went "Yeah, that's fine"?
female!"

Yeah she sounds worse than the worst most exaggerated nerd stereotype. The whole cast is embarrassing in their nerdiness actually. And the whole genius son who only the nerds understand is awful "oh look he hates schoooool!" yeah thanks genius. Terrible show, probably even worse than NCIS: whatever.

For example, Walter is clearly some version of autistic, so is the kid, and especially the human calculator that Walter loses him temper and yells at him whenever he's angry, literally one episode after vaguely threatening the diner owner to not yell at the kid for the same reason.

Well you have to have a reason for the waitress to exist "Don't yell at him Walter" says the people expert, who also comes up with such gems as saying "sorry your daughter is sick" to the sick girl's father. She's clearly earning her pay.

The idea that the world's "4th smartest man" came up with these plots and is the technical adviser for this show is just hilarious. And yeah after some quick googling it is really clear that the guy playing Walter was not selected for his resemblance to the real guy.

He claims to literally have no emotional feelings because his left brain is dominant. Is that even real? Sounds like a James Bond villain.

CBS gave it a full season pickup, actually.

CBS hands that poo poo out like candy though, even loving Stalker gets one.

Stalker is loving great.
