  2. I had to do something like this last year. I did mine(mine had to be 8-10 minutes so it was a bit longer) on convincing people that Esports should be in the Olympics. You seem to have a similar format although you have many points per detail. I would maybe focus a tad bit more on reasons why the story-line is so great, not just the story-line itself. Just my thoughts, take from them what you want. c;

  3. Just a grammar error I found:

    It would make better sense saying:
    "Scorpion has characters who are cooler than many other shows." Or something along those lines.
    "Scorpion's characters are cooler than other television shows."

    It is an example of pronoun-antecedent agreement I believe.
