Scorpion season 1 is premiering with episode 1 titled "Pilot" this Monday evening on CBS. Though the title suggests an hour-long feature of the poisonous creature, it's actually nowhere near the venomous antics of the predatory arthropod. Instead, it's a show that's inspired by true events that is somehow unrealistic in terms of its insanely genius elements. Don't miss the show when it premieres tonight.

The official synopsis of Scorpion season 1 episode 1 titled "Pilot" reads: "When a crisis at LAX leaves dozens of airplanes unable to land, the government enlists a team of misfit geniuses to save the day. Computer genius Walter O'Brien and his equally brilliant friends investigate high-tech crimes. In the opener, Walter and his misfit colleagues are hired by the government to solve a crisis at the Los Angeles airport that leaves dozens of planes unable to land."

CBS's official summary for its freshman series Scorpion reads: "SCORPION, inspired by a true story, is a high-octane drama about eccentric genius Walter O'Brien and his team of brilliant misfits who comprise the last line of defense against complex, high-tech threats of the modern age. As Homeland Security's new think tank, O'Brien's "Scorpion" team includes Toby Curtis, an expert behaviorist who can read anyone; Happy Quinn, a mechanical prodigy; and Sylvester Dodd, a statistics guru."

"Pooling their extensive technological knowledge to solve mind-boggling predicaments amazes federal agent Cabe Gallo, who shares a harrowing history with O'Brien. However, while this socially awkward group is comfortable with each other's humor and quirks, life outside their circle confounds them, so they rely on Paige Dineen, who has a young, gifted son, to translate the world for them. At last, these nerdy masterminds have found the perfect job: a place where they can apply their exceptional brainpower to solve the nation's crises, while also helping each other learn how to fit in."

"Pilot" is set to air this Monday night at 9/8c on CBS. Watch Scorpion season 1 episode 1 stream using this free online stream link here.
