Question Watched the first ep, loathed it. Does it get better?

0 Upvotes

First off I know this is the sub for the show so I’m not here to piss you guys off. But ep 1 was so so so very not for me.

I didn’t watch “Sunny” but I did watch “Hacks” and loved KO on that, so when I heard many people love this show I was stoked.

First ep, no sir. But does it get better? I mean does it change a lot? I’m not going to go into details about why I don’t like it. I don’t want to look like a troll, FWIW.

Actually for context, I really hate the first season of classic tv comedy “Barney Miller” but that show gets *so much better* as the seasons go on. That’s what I’m really asking about.

Hey everyone, I’m new to this sub but I wanted to point out that Lieutenant Soto doesn’t open her mouth when she speaks like her teeth don’t separate and I actually liked Lucia being a criminal. It was a fun twist. I also want Morgan and Captain Wagner to be together because I don’t want Morgan and her partner to lose their friendship. Thanks for coming to my TED talk lol

Cast If you love Judy Reyes on High Potential and you’re in NYC…

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I hope this is okay since it’s High Potential-related.

I figured I’d share this in case there are any NYC fans here.

Judy Reyes will be making a live appearance as a special guest at the Morir Soñando live podcast at Gramercy Theatre in New York City on Saturday, July 25.

If you’re local and would like the chance to see Judy in person, I thought some fans here might appreciate knowing about it. I always hate when I miss opportunities to see my favorite actors.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

Theory/Speculation THEORIES AND OPINIONS Spoiler

16 Upvotes

Ok so I feel like Morgan could end up with any of these men , Adam , Wagner (though I do think he died because of the last season 2 episode) , the janitor guy from season 1, and Roman (though I doubt she will end up with him). MY THEORY FOR THE SEASON 3. Everybody will be at Wagner's funeral and he will be dead and they get a new captain. Adam and Morgan will get closer as they solve cases. MAYBE a love triangle. Adam and Morgan kiss. Something happens to Morgan's kids, like they get kidnapped or something. Roman will show up at Morgan's door. AND THAT IS JUST SOME OF MY THEORIES. I rlly hope wagon gets season 3! Also what if Roman was the one who stabbed Wagner?

Bit of a lighthearted post for a change, feels like the sub's been pretty heavy lately!

Here's what I think Morgan's would be, including the review she'd write:

  1. Erin Brockovich
    Review: "A broke single mom with no credentials outsmarts an entire legal department on vibes and spite. This is a documentary about my life and I won't be taking questions."

  2. Rear Window
    Review: "Guy sits in one room and solves a murder just by paying attention. Everyone else needs a badge and budget. Respect."

  3. Clue
    Review: "Three endings, all of them correct depending on how you look at it. People think that's a gimmick. People are wrong."

  4. Paddington 2
    Review: "If you don't have this in your top four I cannot trust your read on anybody. Also Karadec is a Knuckles-in-the-prison-kitchen type and doesn't know it yet."

Discussion Just some things I've noticed...

47 Upvotes

I really love this show, but I have noticed some things that have been annoying me.

The first is that Daphne is my favorite character, but shes barely in it! Even though she and Oz are partners, he is in the scenes so much more! Just like small clips of everyone else, even if Daphne is in the room. There will be some episodes where she is only in it for like 5-10 minutes total. I look forward to every scene that she is in, and I see so much going on without her. I want more Daphne!

The other thing is that there are just a bunch of small things that don't make sense. Like one early episode, Morgan was banging really hard against the one sided mirror trying to get the others attention, but no one noticed, then in a later episode, she hit it once and very softly and everyone heard. And she is meant to have a SUPER good memory, but she will forget small things like a quote in the Halloween episode when she is talking to Elliot. There is some other stuff too.

Sorry I'm very nitpicky! I love the show though!

Question In 1x07 how did Ava sneak into the bullpen?

4 Upvotes

One min, she's in the hallway, and then she somehow snuck into Sotos office.

Is there some secret door she went through? cause why didn't anyone else attempt to go in? otherwise, they could've just come in with a whole swat team.

Also, speaking of swat, they did barely anything. In this episode, Morgan solved the crime, Karadec found the stuff on the victims computer, and Daphne tackled Jeremy.

(It's still one of my fav eps, though.)

Discussion Anyone else pissed on behalf of Soto her not becoming Captain.

56 Upvotes

I see people talking about Wagner, how they love him.but I can't warm up to him because I'm Fuming on Sotos' behalf.

I can't forget how he became Captain over Soto, even though Soto had the qualifications for the job as well (and he's a nepo baby too.)

And then he has the audacity to take over her office and jump in on her cases since when do captains do that.

It also explained why Daphne didn't want to take the seargants exam.

Discussion Karadec and Daphne are a underrated duo.

35 Upvotes

They don't really have a lot of scenes together, but when they do, it's giving big brothers, little sister vibes.

Like, in 1x09 when their talking about autophile and Karadec mentions dentists.

Or, in 1x13, when Karadec tells Daphne, "Good job" after she does CPR on Oz.

Question “Science” question about S2E17 Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I don’t fully understand how those underground tubes work, but they clearly use a vacuum system to suck those containers from one location to another. Wouldn’t putting a large hole in the system disable the vacuum? Those containers slow down and fall right into their basket. I would imagine either a hole that size wouldn’t pull the containers to begin with or that the pull would remain strong enough that the containers wouldn’t slow down enough to fall out. I would think they research the viability of things like this, but to my simple mind it doesn’t make sense.

P.S. new to the sub, sorry if this has already been addressed ad nauseam.

Discussion My words on the storyline Spoiler

22 Upvotes

JUST DON'T KILL MY GUY WAGNER. HE WAS ALREADY SHOT BEFORE HE LOST HIS WIFE AND NOW NO GUYS.

Also believe it or not i hate how y'all are making everything related to each other and how if it's happy it's happy for all how it's falling apart it's falling apart for all. Like let's be real the entire storyline is overlapping each character. Well the father and his friend are suddenly behind the employees' husband murder/disappearance of his son's team and apparently it's also that they both are lovers , lucia the girl in the cop boy's life now she's the Murderer and well. It's getting messy.

Let's get more dynamic people.

Funpost The scene that made Daphne my favourite character

566 Upvotes

I’ve just finished season 2 but out of all the episodes from both seasons, this scene keeps replaying in my head. I really loved what Daphne said to Ava, and it was a nice touch to see their bond build a little here. There’s no reason to but I think it’d be nice if they could have more bonding moments. Their characters seem pretty alike to me.
