I watched the first episode of Found when it premiered. I thought it was decent and I might continue watching but I don't even remember if I did...I saw it in the TV listings the other night and I thought, 'oh, yeah, that's that one with Zach Morris, right? Maybe I might watch again.' But probably not. Watched part of one episode of Dr. Odyssey but it didn't grab me at all (it was the one where everyone had just had plastic surgery and I kept wondering did they have surgery on the ship or is this some kind of recovery cruise package and why on earth would anyone want to recover from surgery on a ship in the middle of the ocean?).

I'm still in on High Potential but I have to suspend some disbelief. 

Yes Found  is the one with "Zach Morris." Just too much of a sicko story.

I think my brain just doesn't want anything too dark these days (don't know if I would get into Criminal Minds as much if it were premiering today). High Potential has enough light to balance out the murdery parts.

Same:  that's why I'm sticking with Elsbeth and High Potential,  which have comic tropes.  I watched Criminal Minds only sporadically.  Usually too creepy.

Hey guys, before we get a yellow card, don’t forget there’s a Small Talk thread

I have two issues with Morgan's wardrobe choices...  First, the outfits don't seem to suit her personality.  In the (most of) rest of her actions, her child rearing, her relationship with her ex, the way she negotiated for child care costs to be covered (thus ensuring income not only for her but for the ex), she shows a lot of practicality.  Even her taking a night cleaning job that allows her to be at home with the kids during the day, and is a job that her High IQ doesn't get in the way of.  But showing up at crime scenes in outfits that draw attention to her as the "outsider", would make it hard to bend down, look for evidence, etc., contradicts her other practical manners. 

The second issue is cost.  She's got multiple pairs of high leather boots, leather jackets, her nails are always professionally done and perfect, etc.  That doesn't match with a mom of three that is struggling to make ends meet. 

The main reason for the wardrobe choice seems to me to be that they are very closely following the French version.
About cost:
Maybe what we're seeing are the free clothes that can't be sold after they cull the donations at GoodWill? 
Maybe that's also the case in France?

I don't know if it's just me and my subpar attention span, but I find myself not catching how they arrive at the final conclusion when they start tying things up. Like in this episode I have no idea how they got to figuring out the girls were in the woods or how they got there.

It's not just you but I hardly care that it's also me. I like the show too much.

I know what you mean, though. There was one point towards the end when the detectives were literally racing through their solving-stuff dialogue, far faster than the human mind can process. I wondered whether they did that because they knew the same dialogue at a reasonable speed would reveal holes.
