Does Walter actually achieve something with his “IQ”?This show’s concept is the most compatible with my wants in a perfect TV show but I just don’t believe he’s that smart.

One of the things we have to account for in making a TV series is suspension of disbelief. I have to go in to a world I’m watching and believe he is the smartest guy alive.

Ive watched things like Pysch, the Mentalist, Leverage etc and - yes I believe them, thats why I enjoy the story.

So tell me why does the smartest guy alive need a “human calculator” when he could be one even better.

Why does the smartest guy alive need a technology builder specialist or whatever - and on the current episode I’m in they are taking Earbuds from an outsider. You will NEVER see this on Leverage because a tech genius has their own EGO. Youre telling me with their team they couldnt make specialized earbuds? And Im sure they have those cause they use it to infiltrate the casino.

And why do they never have tech? You’re telling me the best they have is a laptop?

And finally tell me why they have a BEHAVIORIST, and they still need a regular person to translate human emotions to them.

To be honest I kinda get why the girl is there, shes like the Brett of Inside Job. But i still dont like her “job descriptions.”

So please tell me, if this is gonna be like any other show.

Cause the premise is so far being missed tragically. On Leverage Redemption they literally used Physics every episode, a new mechanical contraption to solve the problem. And on Leverage Hardison was always making miracles on his specialties. We see the character through their actions and specialties.

And with 196 iq im expecting batman. But every solution he has has been a last minute eight minute crafts project that borders on clever. Not a problem expecting and plan b plan c plan d kind of guy where he thinks of a thousand futures.

You’re telling me he’s dissecting time travel and being a chess grandmaster yet he cannot see 3-5 moves into the future?? He couldnt even see he was getting tricked by his old mate?

This is why im not believing.

Is every solution in the future gonna be an 8 minutes craft project that will somehow save the day with the power of friendship or will we get actual plans with actual technology since we have a specialist and a calculator?

And will the Con guy ever be useful outside of vegas?

I want this series to work out so bad.

I want his 196 iq to have meaning…
