    I just started watching High Potential. It’s a police procedural, which I don’t care for #acab, but my mom likes them and this one has some qualities that make it watchable. There have been a few frustrations, but the most egregious so far is this:

    Mother reports missing girls. Police captain insists they can’t put out an amber alert until it’s been 24 hours. In this, the year of our lord 2025, they decided to roll out that exhausted and dangerously incorrect trope. They even make comments later in the episode about how every minute counts toward finding them alive. I mean.
