I understand that concern, but I’d say that it’s one of those shows that picks up as time goes on, as there is a main plot line that is slowly established before really driving the plot. The last two seasons have some stellar episodes, with the show losing some of its procedural nature.
It is still science fiction, so of course that whenever a character hacks something it always looks dumb.
