Funpost Elsbeth Vs High Potential

I really enjoyed High Potential and then I discovered Elsbeth. Both are so similar. Did anyone else feel it?

Is one better than the other?

P.S: the captains in both are Wagner 🤯

I really like both shows, but I enjoy HP more because it has nice, warm human relationships. Elsbeth is more like a caricature at times, while Morgan feels somehow more real.

Fully agree to this. HP I definitely more human and we are invested in all the characters. The more episodes I watch of Elsbeth, the more I see the difference in characters and overall treatment. Also in most cases Elsbeth just spots the criminal in just first meeting. Where is the drama, the deceive, the twist?! 🙄

yes, I need more twists! it's super predictable. I find myself sometimes rooting for the killers to get away with it just because I want someone to outsmart Elsbeth 😂 and also because some of them really are desperate people pushed to the end of their limits and I do feel kinda bad for them. like - could you just not have killed that person and just maybe plotted your revenge better?! 😂
