It's hard to keep the writing consistent in an ongoing Tv show. I think BE does it better than most, but it is still hit & miss sometimes. They aren't afraid to kill off a character or two which I like.
I thought the Scorpion pilot was a whole lot of fun. A couple of groaners / cheesy bits but the action was top notch. It was directed by Justin Lin (Fast & the Furious.) I'll definitely be recording the season hoping they can keep up the fun.
Some current shows I really enjoy, all with their own flaws of course: The Good Wife (probably the best network adult topics show), GoT, Sherlock, Elementary, Castle (another show that's just fun because Fillon is such a ham), AoS, Arrow, the Flash pilot was pretty fun, ditto the Constantine pilot, Scandal for sheer craziness, SoA, Graceland, Key & Peele, South Park, and The Blacklist. It's hard to keep up with all of those. I have had to drop shows I used to watch like Mad Men and The Walking Dead.
Of course, the best nightly show on Tv right now is @Midnight on Comedy Central. It never fails to have me laughing my ass off.
