Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5083170, member: 44"] I decided to watch High Potential with minimal expectations. I thought it was pretty good as well and will definitely go back. My experience with ABC shows are that they frequently start out strong, with a unique hook but then lose focus once the concept gets tired or is outgrown by the narrative. (E.g., The Good Doctor's autism coupled with hyper analytical skills or The Rookie's hook of being a middle-aged rookie cop.) This one seems ripe for that. The whole engine that drives this is how incongruous Olsen's character is in a police investigation. Eventually, that's not going to work as she gains more and more experience investigating. Also, it's a little formulaic in that they seem to be setting up a narrative of initial dislike, followed by begrudging respect, followed by effective partnership, followed by inevitable romance with the lead detective she's working with. All that said, I'm still in. [/QUOTE]
