This is a show that is in its second season in the US. www.imdb.com/title/tt3514324/the basic premise is a group of super geniuses use their brain power to fix problems. it is a rather entertaining show, but I find that I spend an inordinate amount of time going "yeah - that doesn't work that way."

Haven't seen the show but I'll have to check it out. The main problem I've seen with most "super geniuses" that I have met is that most of them don't have an ounce of common sense.

The main problem I've seen with most "super geniuses" that I have met is that most of them don't have an ounce of common sense. the show is allegedly based on the life of the main character - but after perusing the wikipedia entry on him, it appears to be VERY loosely based. I find it entertaining because of the characters, and somewhat emotionally gratifying because I catch so many technical errors. it makes me feel smart.

If I was in a tough situation, I'd rather be in it with someone like you that knows how to get things done than having to look after some genius type.

I enjoy the show, it's entertaining for sure. I do think that they take some liberties on some of the solutions though. As has been pointed out, there are moments where you say, "No, that's not like that". Still worth a watch IMO.

"some liberties" you say.
at risk of spoilers, there was an episode where the building was on fire and the sprinklers weren't working because of a computer virus.
