The Pilot episode is a total mess.
It not only has bad acting but also a plot thats so crazy and over top that its almost pure satire. It tries to overload itself so hard with action that it forgets that sometimes less is more.
The basic idea is not bad but the way it is written is an insult to even average IQ (the measurement unit the show likes to flaunt every single chance).
Im a Software Dev and I immediately realized that the whole IT side of the plot made no sense what so ever. I dont doubt that other professions will feel similar about their side.
When the 197 IQ genius is stupid it becomes a bad joke.
Obviously it is hard to write something smarter than oneself. Even more so when the IQ they picked is so unbelievably high that the dude could probably invent all human inventions himself in one hour prep time in a cave. But anyway it quickly becomes apparent that the writers are not even able to wow the average viewer which is quite telling.
