‘High Potential’ Episode 11 Recap – Is This Show Getting a Little Too Clever for Its Own Good?
Episode 11, “The Sauna at the End of the Stairs”, could go either way. It isn’t like the previous episode, which just seemed to pivot to a different genre entirely, but it has a similar try-hard quality that I found off-putting.
